Zentel Oral Suspension – Potent Treatment for Parasitic Worm Infections

Zentel Oral Suspension is an anthelmintic medication used to treat a variety of parasitic worm infections in the intestines, including roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, and pinworms. It eliminates worms by disrupting their ability to metabolize glucose, thereby interrupting their energy supply and causing their death.

This suspension is generally taken with a meal to improve absorption and reduce gastrointestinal upset. Always follow your doctor’s instructions regarding dose and duration. It is essential to complete the full treatment course, even if symptoms improve, to prevent recurrence or resistance.

Uses & Indications

Treatment of intestinal worm infections (roundworms, pinworms, hookworms, whipworms)
Management of mixed parasitic infestations
May be used in certain tissue-level infections caused by parasites under medical supervision
Preventive therapy in endemic areas, when advised by a clinician

How It Works

Zentel Oral Suspension contains albendazole, which prevents parasitic worms from absorbing nutrients, particularly glucose. Lacking energy, the parasites become metabolically disabled and die, allowing the body to eliminate them.
