Brief Answer:
No, you should not take this drug.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Benocide is diethyl carbamazine (DEC).
It is anti helmenthic (filariasis) drug.
Symptoms of filariasis are totally different.
And eosinophilia is not only seen with filariasis.
Eosinophilia can be seen with simple nasal allergies like allergic rhinitis.
Treatment of allergic rhinitis is different.
It includes intranasal steroid spray (fluticasone) and oral combination of montelukast and fexofenadine.
So don't take benocide.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
