Banocide Forte Tablet

Banocide Forte Tablet is an anti-parasitic medicine used to treat certain worm infections such as filariasis (caused by filarial worms), loiasis, and other parasitic infestations. By killing or disabling the worms present in the blood and tissues, it helps relieve symptoms and prevents further complications.

How to Take
Take the tablet in the dose and duration prescribed by your doctor. Swallow it whole with water, preferably after meals to avoid stomach irritation. Do not stop treatment without medical advice, even if you start feeling better, as incomplete treatment may not fully clear the infection.

Supportive Care
Along with medication, maintaining good personal hygiene, washing hands properly, and avoiding mosquito bites in endemic areas can help prevent reinfection and spread of filarial disease.

Possible Side Effects
Some people may experience fever, headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, or joint pain, especially when the worms are being destroyed inside the body. These effects are usually temporary. If you develop severe allergic reactions, breathing problems, or skin rashes, seek immediate medical attention.

Precautions
Tell your doctor if you have liver or kidney disease, heart problems, or any history of seizures before starting this medicine. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should use it only if advised by their doctor.

Uses

• Treatment of filariasis (filarial worm infection)

• Treatment of loiasis and certain other parasitic worm infestations

Benefits
Helps eliminate parasitic worms from the body, reduces symptoms such as swelling, fever, or skin irritation, and prevents long-term complications related to chronic worm infections.

How It Works
Banocide Forte Tablet contains diethylcarbamazine (DEC), which works by killing the parasitic worms or stopping their growth and movement. This clears the infection and relieves associated symptoms.
