Can I repeat Zentel after 10 days?
Good morning, Daughter 5 years has tested positive for antibodies to human roundworm. She got a suspension Zentel. After taking the drug, she did not go to kindergarten for 5 days, although the doctor recommended that after administration she should be only one day at home. Your doctor has advised you to re-administer Zentel after 10 days. My question is: isn't 10 days too short after the first dose? And Can we go to the hotel for holidays a few days after the second dose, in the sense that the daughter is safe for others

According to the Zentel Summary of Product Characteristics, if efficacy is not effective, the dose should be repeated after two or three weeks. The use of the drug in a way other than recommended by the manufacturer should be consulted with a doctor. You should know that your doctor may recommend using the medicine in a different way than the one generally accepted.

Before that, however, I would repeat the research on human roundworm. If the result is negative, it means that the child has been cured. Then a trip to the hotel will not be an exposure to other people. Of course, you should pay attention to all household members who can potentially also be infected.

Antibodies can persist even for the rest of life. The effectiveness of treatment is not assessed in this way. It can only be stated that the body is struggling or has struggled with infection with this parasite.
