Product Overview

This formulation contains Diethylcarbamazine Citrate, a piperazine derivative used for over 50 years as the drug of choice for filarial infections. The "Microfilariae Hunter" Specialist:

• Mechanism (Immune Sensitization): Unlike many anthelmintics that directly poison the worm, DEC works by altering the surface membrane of the microfilariae (larvae). This "unmasks" them, making them visible and susceptible to the host's immune system, leading to rapid phagocytosis and destruction by white blood cells.
• Muscular Action: It also causes hyperpolarization of the worm's muscle cells, leading to immobilization.
• Dual Action: It is highly effective against the microfilariae (larvae) of Wuchereria bancrofti and Brugia malayi, and also has a significant macrofilaricidal (adult worm killing) effect at high doses.
• TPE Specialist: It is the specific cure for Tropical Pulmonary Eosinophilia (TPE), a condition caused by a hypersensitive reaction to filarial worms in the lungs.

• Loiasis: Infection with Loa loa (African Eye Worm).
• Mass Drug Administration (MDA): Often co-administered with Albendazole for the global elimination of filariasis.

Dosage & Administration

Recommended Dosage (Strictly as per Physician/Program Guidelines):

• Route: Oral.
• Lymphatic Filariasis: 6 mg/kg body weight daily in divided doses for 12 days.
• Tropical Pulmonary Eosinophilia: 6 mg/kg body weight daily in divided doses for 21 days.
• Loiasis: Requires careful titration to avoid severe reactions.
  • Day 1: 50 mg.
  • Day 2: 50 mg three times daily.
  • Day 3: 100 mg three times daily.
  • Day 4–21: 3 mg/kg three times daily (approx 9 mg/kg/day).
• Administration: Best taken after meals to reduce gastric irritation.

Safety Warnings:

• Mazzotti Reaction (Systemic): The rapid death of microfilariae can cause a severe allergic-like reaction (fever, headache, muscle pain, rash, swollen lymph nodes). This is a sign the drug is working but can be distressing. Antihistamines or corticosteroids may be needed.
• Onchocerciasis (River Blindness) - CONTRAINDICATED: DEC should NOT be used for Onchocerca volvulus infections as it can cause a severe reaction leading to permanent blindness. Ivermectin is the drug of choice there.
• Renal Impairment: Dosage reduction required as the drug is excreted by the kidneys.
