Hi. Since Sunday I am having an itch down my anus at night or when waking up. I took Zentel 400mg chewable (i mistakenly swallowed it) on Monday night.
Tuesday i had no issue but today again in the morning it is itching down there.
Can i take another Zentel tab? Or should i wait for 2 weeks and take one?
Btw I'm 24 yo female

First of all, the medicine for worms doesn't work within a few hours or minutes. Its action will depend on the lifecycle of the worm.
Your itching in the peri-anal region can also be due to a fungal infection or even simple dryness of the skin (a common problem in winters).
Please wait for a few weeks. You can take the treatment for the two causes of itching I have mentioned above.
