Cenocide 50mg (100 Tablets) - Fast Relief for Filarial Itching and Infections

Cenocide 50mg contains Diethylcarbamazine Citrate (DEC), a powerful anthelmintic (anti-worm) medication specifically formulated to treat parasitic infections caused by filarial worms. Manufactured by SKG-Pharma in Nigeria, it is a trusted choice for managing conditions that cause severe skin irritation, "creeping" sensations, and inflammation.

What is Cenocide 50mg Used For?

Cenocide is primarily indicated for the treatment of:

• Lymphatic Filariasis (Elephantiasis): Caused by Wuchereria bancrofti or Brugia malayi.
• Loiasis (African Eye Worm): Caused by Loa loa, which often presents with itchy "Calabar swellings."
• Tropical Pulmonary Eosinophilia: A condition involving cough and breathing difficulties due to worms.
• Toxocariasis: Infections from animal roundworms.

Can Cenocide Stop Itching?

Yes, Cenocide is effective at stopping itching when the cause is a filarial infection. Parasitic worms in the blood or skin can cause intense, persistent itching and a sensation of movement under the skin. By killing the microfilariae (larval worms), Cenocide addresses the root cause of the irritation.

Note on Scabies: While some search for Cenocide as a "scabies treatment," it is specifically for filarial worms. If you suspect you have scabies (caused by mites), please consult a GoMed pharmacist for the appropriate topical treatment like Permethrin.

Adult Dosage Instructions

The dosage of Cenocide must be determined by a healthcare provider based on the type of infection and body weight.

• Standard Adult Dose: Typically 2mg to 3mg per kg of body weight, taken three times daily.
• Duration: The treatment course usually lasts for 21 days (3 weeks).
• Administration: Tablets should be taken after meals to reduce stomach upset.

Always complete the full course of medication even if symptoms like itching stop early.

Side Effects & Precautions

• Mazzotti Reaction: As the worms die off, you may experience temporary fever, headache, or skin rashes. This is a sign the medication is working.
• Pregnancy: Not recommended for use during pregnancy unless strictly advised by a doctor.
• Medical Supervision: This is a prescription-only medication. Consult a GoMed pharmacist or your doctor before starting treatment.
