Zentel (albendazole) may cause mild stomach upset. Drink plenty of water with each dose to minimize this.
Some people experience headache. Over-the-counter pain relievers like paracetamol or ibuprofen can provide relief. Always follow the dosage instructions on the packaging.
Rarely, Zentel can affect liver function. If you notice yellowing of your skin or eyes, dark urine, or unusual fatigue, contact your doctor immediately.
A small percentage of users report dizziness. Avoid driving or operating machinery if you experience this. The sensation usually subsides quickly.
Skin rashes are uncommon but possible. If a rash develops, stop taking Zentel and seek medical advice. This could indicate an allergic reaction.
Always follow your doctor’s instructions and read the patient information leaflet provided with your medication. If you have any concerns or experience unexpected side effects, consult your doctor or pharmacist without delay.
