Hello,
Zentel (Albendazole) 400mg has to be taken on an empty stomach. Single dose is enough for most infections but 3 days treatment is required for some infections. A stool test for ova is required to determine the exact infection.
Apart from medications, consumption of safe drinking water and hygienic food along with maintaining strict personal hygiene is of utmost importance in reducing the intestinal worm infestations.
I hope the above information helps you. Thanks for writing into healhtcaremagic. Have a wonderful day.
