Diethylcarbamazine (100 mg) is the active ingredient in Hetrazan 100 Tablet. It works on your body in the following ways:

• Interferes with Parasite Metabolism: Diethylcarbamazine disrupts various metabolic processes essential for the survival of parasitic worms.

• Inhibits Parasite Mobilisation: The medicine prevents the worm from moving around freely within the body, limiting its ability to spread infection.

• Enhances Immunity Response: Diethylcarbamazine increases the adherence of immune mediator cells to these worms. These cells play a crucial role in fighting off infections, so increasing their adherence facilitates faster elimination of these worms from your body.

• Store Hetrazan 100 Tablet in a cool place, ideally below 30°C.

• Keep it shielded from direct sunlight and moisture to maintain its effectiveness.

• Make sure to keep the medicine out of sight and reach of children.

• Always check the expiry date before use; don't use if it's past this date.

• Regularly clean your surroundings to reduce the risk of mosquito breeding, as filariasis is transmitted through mosquito bites.

• Use mosquito nets or repellents, especially during peak mosquito activity times (dusk and dawn), to avoid potential infections that Hetrazan 100 Tablet manages.
