The ideal dose of Zentel (brand name for albendazole) deworming tablets for adults is 400mg as a single dose. It is usually taken once, and may be repeated after 2 weeks if necessary. Some possible side effects of albendazole include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, headache, dizziness, and temporary hair loss.

I'm really worried because I've had body pain and a mild fever for the past three days. The doctor recommended I get some blood and urine tests done, and the results show pus cells at 25-30 WBCHPF and epithelial cells at 10-15. Could this be something serious, or is it more of a normal finding? What should I do next?

The presence of 25-30 WBCHPF (pus cells) and 10-15 epithelial cells suggests an infection or inflammation, likely in the urinary tract. It's important to follow up with your doctor to interpret the results and determine if you need treatment, such as antibiotics or further tests.
