Zolat 400mg Tablet (Albendazole)

Zolat 400mg is a powerful deworming medicine manufactured by Emzor Pharmaceutical Industries in Nigeria. As a broad-spectrum anthelmintic, it is formulated with 400mg of Albendazole to provide effective relief from various intestinal worm infections.

What is Zolat 400mg Used For?

Zolat is primarily used for the treatment of single or mixed intestinal infections. It is highly effective against common parasites found in Nigeria, including:

• Roundworms (Ascariasis)
• Hookworms (often causing anemia)
• Pinworms (Enterobiasis)
• Whipworms (Trichuriasis)
• Tapeworms

In Nigeria, regular deworming is recommended for both adults and children to maintain optimal gut health and prevent nutrient loss caused by parasites.

How Zolat 400mg Works

The active ingredient, Albendazole, works by preventing parasites from absorbing the glucose they need to survive. This leads to the immobilization and eventual death of the worms, which are then naturally expelled from the body.

Dosage and Administration

For most intestinal infections in adults and children over 2 years of age, Zolat is taken as a single 400mg dose.

• The tablet can be swallowed with water, crushed, or chewed.
• Taking Zolat with a fatty meal (like milk or a meal containing oil) can help the body absorb the medicine more effectively for certain types of systemic infections.
• If you are treating for threadworms, a repeat dose after two weeks may be necessary.

Safety Information

• Pregnancy: Zolat should not be used by pregnant women as it may harm the unborn baby. It is advisable to take a pregnancy test before starting treatment if there is any possibility of pregnancy.
• Side Effects: Most people experience little to no side effects. However, mild stomach pain or dizziness may occur.
• Consultation: If you have questions about deworming or are unsure if Zolat is right for you, speak to a GoMed pharmacist today for professional guidance.
