Zentel Tablet

Zentel Tablet – Broad-Spectrum Deworming Solution for Parasitic Infections

Zentel Tablet is a clinically trusted antiparasitic medication formulated to treat a wide range of worm infestations and parasitic infections in the body. It targets both intestinal and tissue-based parasites, offering effective relief from conditions caused by roundworms, tapeworms, hookworms, pinworms, whipworms, and other helminths.

This powerful anthelmintic is particularly effective against complex parasitic conditions like neurocysticercosis (caused by pork tapeworms) and hydatid disease (linked to dog tapeworms), making it a comprehensive choice for targeted parasite elimination.

How Zentel Tablet Works

Each Zentel Tablet contains Albendazole, a broad-spectrum anthelmintic agent. It works by disrupting the energy production mechanism in parasites. Specifically, it inhibits tubulin polymerisation, which leads to the breakdown of cellular function, energy depletion, and ultimately the death of the parasite. This stops the parasite from growing, reproducing, or surviving within the body.
