What is the correct dose of Zentel for a 10-year-old child who weighs 39 kg, and should it be taken before or after food?

Asked by Male, 10 · 13 hours ago

For a 10-year-old child weighing 39 kg, the typical dose of Zentel (albendazole) for common worm infections is a single 400 mg dose (usually one tablet or 20 ml of liquid). Zentel can be taken with or without food. However, taking it with a meal, especially one containing a little fat (like milk or a snack), can help the medicine work more effectively and prevents any mild stomach upset. If you are unsure about the specific type of infection, it is always best to consult your pediatrician first.
