1. Zinofil forte [cetrizine [10mg] and diethyl carbamazine (300 mg)], is WHO approved drug for TPE [tropical pulmonary eosinophilia], Eosinophilia and frequent wheezing and cold, mainly given for parasitic infection.
2. If the said Brand is not available in kolkata, you may ask for:
. Carlev/carlev forte from Aamorb pharma,
. Decet-BD & DECET-OD from RND Lab,
. BOCET-BD from Bioman pharma
3. Ayurvedic treatment is aimed at controlling the infection and treating the symptoms of this disease, where Guggulu and Kachnaar, are considered to be the main stay of treatment for this disease.

. Sukshma-Triphala, Gandhak-Rasayan, Mahamanjishthadi-Qadha, Chandraprabha-Vati and Trivang-Bhasma are used to treat the basic parasitic infection responsible for this disease.

4. Apart from taking the said medicine, also practice safe hygienic measures to prevent contacting the infection:

. Use mosquito nets while sleeping and/or use mosquito repellent cream on exposed areas.
. Do not keep stagnant water in the surroundings as these pools of water are their breeding grounds.
. People living in endemic areas [even if healthy] must take the tablets as they may have the eggs (microfilariae) in their blood even though they are without symptoms.
. Do not expose arms and legs while in affected places, wear clothes with long sleeves, full length pants and socks for adequate protection.
