Zentel 200mg Tablets (Albendazole) – The Versatile Choice for Comprehensive Parasite Control (6 Pack)
Take control of complex parasitic infections with Zentel 200mg, a powerful, broad-spectrum anthelmintic medication. Containing the clinically proven active ingredient Albendazole, Zentel is prescribed by doctors to treat a wide range of intestinal worms that go beyond common threadworms. This 6-tablet pack with a flexible 200mg dosage is specifically designed for multi-day treatment courses and precise, weight-based dosing.
The Zentel 200mg Advantage: Precision and Flexibility
The 200mg tablet strength is Zentel’s key advantage for tailored treatment:
- Precise Dosing: Allows healthcare providers to prescribe the exact dose required for children or adults with a lower body weight, ensuring optimal efficacy and safety.
- Flexible Treatment Regimens: Ideal for infections that require a multi-day course (e.g., one tablet taken twice daily for three days), which is common for tapeworms, hookworms, and roundworms.
- Easy Dose Titration: Enables doctors to easily adjust dosages as needed for specific, complex parasitic diseases.
How Zentel (Albendazole) Eradicates Parasites
Zentel’s active ingredient, Albendazole, works systemically to eliminate parasites.
- Mechanism of Action: Albendazole works by inhibiting the parasites’ ability to absorb and utilize glucose (sugars), which is essential for their survival. It disrupts their cellular structure and energy production, leading to paralysis and death. The dead parasites are then naturally cleared from the body through the stool. Unlike some other dewormers, Albendazole is absorbed into the body, allowing it to treat a wider range of parasites effectively.
 A Truly Broad-Spectrum Solution: What Zentel Treats
Zentel is a powerful medication used for more than just simple pinworms. It is prescribed for a wide array of infections:
- Intestinal Worms:
- Roundworm (Ascaris lumbricoides)
- Hookworm (Ancylostoma duodenale, Necator americanus)
- Whipworm (Trichuris trichiura)
- Tapeworms (Taenia spp.)
- Strongyloidiasis (a type of threadworm infection)
- Giardiasis (an intestinal infection caused by a protozoan parasite)
- Systemic Infections: Zentel is also a critical component in the treatment of more serious, tissue-based parasitic diseases like neurocysticercosis and hydatid disease, under strict medical supervision.
 Dosage and Administration – A Medically Supervised Treatment
WARNING: The dosage of Zentel is highly dependent on the type of infection, age, and body weight. You must follow your doctor’s prescription exactly. DO NOT self-medicate.
- Typical Administration: The 6-tablet pack is perfectly suited for common multi-day regimens, such as one 200mg tablet taken twice daily for three consecutive days.
- For Giardiasis: A common regimen might be 400mg (two tablets) once daily for five days.
- Maximizing Absorption: For certain infections, your doctor may advise you to take Zentel with a fatty meal to increase its absorption into the bloodstream, making it more effective.
 Important Safety Information & Precautions
- Prescription Required: Zentel (Albendazole) is a potent medication that must be prescribed by a qualified healthcare professional after a proper diagnosis.
- Pregnancy: Do not use if you are pregnant, suspect you might be pregnant, or are trying to become pregnant. Effective contraception must be used during and for one month after treatment.
- Side Effects: While generally well-tolerated, side effects can include headache, dizziness, abdominal pain, or nausea. Inform your doctor if you experience any severe symptoms like fever, sore throat, or jaundice.

 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- Q: Why was I prescribed 200mg tablets instead of 400mg?
- A: Your doctor likely prescribed the 200mg strength to tailor the dose perfectly to your body weight or for a treatment plan that requires taking the medication twice a day.
- Q: How is Zentel (Albendazole) different from Vermox (Mebendazole)?
- A: Both are effective dewormers. However, Albendazole (Zentel) is generally better absorbed by the body, making it the preferred choice for a broader range of infections, including tapeworms and some systemic parasites, whereas Mebendazole works primarily within the gut.
- Q: How quickly does Zentel work?
- A: Zentel begins working after the first dose. For intestinal worms, parasites are typically killed and expelled within a few days. For other infections, it’s crucial to complete the full prescribed course.
