Zentel 400 mg, containing albendazole, is an antiparasitic medication used to treat various worm infections. While Zentel is generally effective, its safety for children depends on several factors, including the child's age, weight, and specific health conditions. For children over 2 years old, Zentel is typically considered safe when prescribed by a healthcare professional.
However, for children under 2 years, its use is not recommended due to potential side effects and limited research on its safety. Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Always consult a pediatrician before administering Zentel to ensure proper dosage and safety.
