Suggest Medication For Parasitic Infection
I would like to take zentel. I have tried vermox but it did not help with my parasitic infection. I have seen worms in the shower and on my bedroom floor and I have a lot of abdomial discomfort especially when I take herbs that are good for worms. Any suggestions?

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Worm infestations can be cured by taking single adult dose of Albendazole, which is a broad spectrum anti-helmenthic drug. To be more effective, you can repeat the dose again after a week or ten days, after taking the first dose.
This would be effective in most cases to eradicate the worms from the intestines.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
