Tablet; take as prescribed by doctor. The dose and how long you take it depend on what you are being treated for and how you respond. Do not take more, or for longer, than your doctor has advised.
The side effects seen most often with Zentel Tablet are nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea. Most are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. Tell your doctor if one persists or worries you.
Before you start, tell your doctor about any liver, kidney or heart problem, whether you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding, and every other medicine you take, including supplements and ayurvedic preparations. Some of them can change how Zentel Tablet works.
Treatment of intestinal worm (helminth) infections such as ascariasis (roundworm), hookworm, pinworm (enterobiasis), whipworm (trichuriasis), strongyloidiasis, taeniasis (tapeworm). Also used for certain tissue infections like hydatid disease and neurocysticercosis under medical supervision.
Most side effects of Zentel are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:
Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.
Tablet; take as prescribed by doctor. Commonly taken as a single dose for many intestinal worm infections; take with food (fatty meal improves absorption). For some infections, repeat dosing or multi-day courses may be needed. Swallow with water; may be chewed if advised.
Albendazole is a broad-spectrum anthelmintic. It inhibits microtubule formation and glucose uptake in worms, leading to energy depletion and death of the parasite.
Schedule H: use under medical advice. Use with caution in liver disease; liver function monitoring may be needed for prolonged/high-dose therapy. Rarely can cause bone marrow suppression (seek care for fever, sore throat, unusual bruising). Avoid in known hypersensitivity to benzimidazoles. Treat household contacts and maintain hygiene to reduce reinfection when indicated.
Take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is almost due, skip the one you missed — never take two doses together to catch up.
An overdose of this medicine can cause vomiting, abdominal cramps and nerve symptoms. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.
Cimetidine may increase albendazole levels; dexamethasone and praziquantel may increase active metabolite levels; carbamazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital and rifampicin may reduce effectiveness; avoid other hepatotoxic drugs during prolonged therapy when possible.
Store below 25°C in a dry place, protected from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
