Brief Answer:
Zentel is albendazole
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for your query.
Zentel - it may be crushed, chewed or swallowed as a whole. In case of stomach infestation, it is to be taken in the dose of 400 mg/day empty stomach for three consecutive days.
Please confirm the type of infection you have with stool ova and parasite test.
I will also suggest that you take hygienic food and cleanest drinking water from an RO system to avoid recurrent stomach infections.
Hope it helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
