Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. You are possibly suffering from filarial infection, which has caused increased eosinophil count and banocide is being prescribed for this.
2. The eosinophil count will take a bit longer to reduce. Usually you need to take treatment for 3-4 weeks, then restart after 6 months, once again for 3-4 weeks.
3. Now you can discontinue and restart it after 6 months again.
4. The eosinophil count will slowly fall. Not to worry.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
