About Dec-50 Syrup 60 ml

Dec-50 Syrup 60 ml belongs to a group of medicines called 'anti-parasitic' used to treat certain worm or parasitic infections, including Bancroft's filariasis, eosinophilic lung, loiasis, and river blindness. The worms or parasites live inside the human body and receive important nutrients from a person's body and make them sick called parasitic infection. Dec-50 Syrup 60 ml does not work against worm infections caused by pinworms or tapeworms.

Dec-50 Syrup 60 ml consists of two medicines, namely: Diethylcarbamazine (antiparasitic) and Chlorphenamine (antiallergic). Diethylcarbamazine paralyzes the parasitic worms by stopping them interacting with the host cell, thereby killing it. On the other hand, Chlorpheniramine works by reducing the allergies symptoms characterized by increased white blood cells (eosinophils), sneezing, runny nose and watery eyes.
