Zentel is an antiparasitic medicine and is used to treat parasite infections. Its prophylactic use is usually not recommended.
The dosage depends on the type of parasites, the age of the child and body weight. Therefore, it is important to consult with your pediatrician before administering any medication to get the right dosage and instructions. If you do not have the opportunity to consult your doctor, you can use the teleconsultation here:

In the case of Zentel, the usual dose for children is 10 mg of albendazole per kilogram of body weight, but only a doctor can judge whether this medication is appropriate and at what dose for your specific situation.
The GdziePoLek.pl service also allows you to book the medicine at a selected stationary pharmacy and collect it after presenting a prescription:
