Banocide Forte for Eosinophilia

Description

Banocide Forte is a prescription medication that contains Diethylcarbamazine Citrate (DEC) as its active ingredient. It is primarily used to treat filariasis, a parasitic infection caused by filarial worms. Additionally, Banocide Forte is also used in managing eosinophilia, especially when it is caused by parasitic infections or certain allergic conditions.

Eosinophilia refers to an elevated level of eosinophils (a type of white blood cell) in the blood, often in response to parasitic infections. Banocide Forte works by killing microfilariae (immature worms) and reducing inflammation, which helps normalize eosinophil counts.

Typically available in 100 mg tablets, the dosage and duration of Banocide Forte treatment depend on the condition being treated and the patient’s health status. Like all medications, it may cause side effects such as nausea, headache, or dizziness. Therefore, it’s important to use Banocide Forte only under medical supervision to ensure safety and effectiveness.
