I am 5 weeks pregnant and have filariasis. Can I continue taking the banocide tablet? ## Hello, Joyce! How are you? There haven't been any noted problems in pregnant women, but the U.S. FDA does recommend that treatment in pregnant women be deferred to be safe. Its typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, stomach pain and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?

I have been prescribed banocide for filariasis treatment.I am 62 kg by weight.What should be the dosage for me and does it cure chyluria which has affected me. ## Banocide Forte contains the active ingredient Diethylcarbamazine, it is used to several Filarial Diseases. And yes, it may also help with the Chyluria, because this can be caused by the parasite associated with the Filariasis. What dosage has your doctor advised? It usually varies from 2 to 3mgs, per kg of body weight and is taken 3 times a day. Therefore, yours should range from 124mgs to 186mgs, 3 times daily. However, if your doctor has instructed otherwise, then please follow their advice. ## Thanks a lot for promptly replying .I value your suggestion,but right now I am suffering from passing of white urine.
