ZENTEL Albendazole 400mg Oral Suspension 10ml

Introduction

ZENTEL Albendazole 400mg Oral Suspension is a prescription antiparasitic medicine used to treat a range of intestinal worm infections and certain protozoal infections. It contains albendazole, a well-established anthelmintic medication belonging to the benzimidazole class, which works by disrupting the metabolism and survival of susceptible parasites.

The convenient liquid suspension format makes administration easier for patients who may have difficulty swallowing tablets, including children when prescribed by a healthcare professional.

Key Benefits

• Contains 400mg of albendazole per 10ml dose.
• Effective against a broad range of intestinal worm infections.
• Also active against certain protozoal infections.
• Easy-to-administer oral suspension format.
• Helps eliminate susceptible parasites from the body.
• Suitable for use under medical supervision.
• Manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals.

How It Works

Albendazole works by interfering with the parasite's ability to absorb glucose and produce energy. This disrupts essential cellular functions within the parasite, leading to immobilisation, depletion of energy stores, and eventual death.

The medication acts against various stages of susceptible parasites, helping the body eliminate them naturally.
