Decet Bd Syrup 200 ml

Decet Bd Syrup is a combination medication used to treat certain parasitic infections such as Bancroft's filariasis, Eosinophilic lung, Loiasis, and River blindness. Bancroft's filariasis, also known as elephantiasis, is caused by thread-like worms that live inside the human lymphatic system. The lymphatic system of the body consists of fluid and is responsible for fighting infections. This disease spreads from person to person by mosquitoes and black flies.

Decet Bd Syrup is a combination of two drugs: Cetirizine (antihistamine) and Diethylcarbamazine (anthelmintic). Cetirizine belongs to the class of antihistamines (anti-allergic drugs) that works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions.  It helps to provide relief from allergic symptoms. Diethylcarbamazine is an anthelmintic (anti-parasitic) that works by causing paralysis of the worms by reducing muscular activity.

Bancroft’s Filariasis: It is also known as elephantiasis and is caused by thread-like worms that live inside the human lymphatic system. The lymphatic system of the body consists of fluid and is responsible for fighting infections. This disease spreads from person to person by mosquitoes. Common symptoms include swelling in the legs, arms, breasts, or genitals. The legs are most commonly affected while skin may also be affected, causing dry, ulcerated, thick, pitted, or darker than normal skin.

Eosinophilic lung: This is a disease related to lung problems in which white blood cells in the body get increased. White blood cells are responsible for fighting allergic reactions and certain infections. Some of the symptoms of this disease include cough, chest pain, tightness, increased mucus, rapid breathing, bloody mucus, and shortness of breath.

Loiasis: It is also called 'African eye worm' which is an infectious parasitic disease transmitted to humans by the bite of Chrysops fly species. A person infected with this disease may face itchy, non-painful swellings in their body. Sometimes, a person may see worms crawling under their skin or across the surface of the eye.

River blindness: It is caused by a parasitic worm and is transmitted through repeated bites by black flies near rivers and streams. If not treated, then it may even cause visual impairment and sometimes blindness.
