Scientific Evidence:

Albendazole, the active ingredient in Zentel suspension, has been extensively studied for its efficacy in treating parasitic infections. Research studies have shown that albendazole is highly effective in the treatment of neurocysticercosis, a parasitic infection of the central nervous system caused by the pork tapeworm.

Additional Information:

Zentel suspension is well-tolerated by most patients, with mild side effects such as nausea, abdominal pain, and headache being reported infrequently. It is important to complete the full course of treatment as prescribed by your healthcare provider to ensure the infection is completely eradicated.

Pharmacologically, albendazole works by inhibiting the uptake of glucose by the parasites, leading to their immobilization and eventual death. This mechanism of action makes albendazole highly effective against a wide range of parasitic infections.
