Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
hi my 2year old niece use to take white wash e evert time. A dr told me she might have worms and asked to deworm her with zentel in night before she sleeps. i gave her zentel this friday night and when she wokeup in morning(saturday) at 6am she started vommiting. we toke her to hospital and dr is treating her regularly but today she vomitted again. what should we do we stopped zentel after she vomitted.
I had seen your medical history and understood your true concerns. Toddlers are commonly prescribed with Albendazole (zentel) because they are commonly affected by different parasitic worm infestations. As children are more prone to parasite, this medicine is very effective in many cases. But in a very few cases, there will be side effects. Some children are hypersensitive to Albendazole in whom we can observe side effects (vomiting, nausea, headache).
If this is used along with psychiatric drugs, that can cause drug interactions. You can go for Mebendazole 1 dosage forms instead of Zentel. Hope your child health recover soon.
Take Care!
Regards
