Age: 23 Height: 6ft.1in. weight: 150lbs Hi, I am in India for past two and a half months and am afraid that I might be infected with worms. I read online about Zentel which can cure the infection. Should I consult a doctor before taking the medicine? Is there any side effects to taking Zentel? If I can take it, then how many days and how much do I need to take to get rid of the infection?
