About Decet Bd Syrup

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 is transmitted from person to person through the bites of 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 work 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.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Maintain a balanced diet rich in nutrients and with less refined sugars/processed foods.
  • Fibre is essential for bowel movement, which helps to cleanse parasites from the body, so include more fibre-rich foods in the diet, such as oats.
  • Pumpkin seeds, garlic, honey, and papaya seeds are considered antiparasitic foods. Therefore, it is best to incorporate them into your diet.
  • Sometimes doctors may recommend a grain-free, sugar-free diet, while others may recommend limiting fruit intake to reduce further dietary sugars, so it's better to talk to your nutritionist.
