Hello

Indicated for W. Bancrofti, W. malayi, filarial infection Tropical eosinophilia ( as you have tropical eosinophilia).
Filsriasis , toxocariasis . loiasis ( aslo for prophylaxis).
Doses as follow;
Day one : 1 mg / kg body weight in three divided doses. Thereafter increase gradually to 6 mg / kg body weight daily for 2-3 days ---for 21 days .
But this can be used for 6-12 months period .
Since you E S R is very high , serum creatinine is also elevated with blood urea and urine also contains enteococcus with low level of D3 .
