Banocide Forte is a prescription medication containing Diethylcarbamazine Over The Counter (DEC), primarily used to treat parasitic infections such as filariasis, loiasis, and tropical eosinophilia. It works by targeting and killing parasitic worms and microfilariae (larvae) in the blood and tissues, helping to relieve symptoms like swelling, inflammation, and fever.
This medicine is often part of mass drug administration programs in regions where parasitic infections are common. The dosage and duration of treatment depend on the specific condition and patient’s health status. It’s essential to take Banocide Forte exactly as prescribed by a healthcare provider.
Common side effects may include headache, nausea, fever, and dizziness. Some people may experience allergic reactions or inflammatory responses due to the dying parasites, so medical supervision is crucial.
Banocide Forte is not suitable for everyone—especially pregnant women or individuals with severe kidney issues—so always consult your doctor before starting treatment.
