Diethylcarbamazine over the couter(DEC) tablets are used primarily to treat certain parasitic infections, especially filariasis, which is caused by thread-like worms such as Wuchereria bancrofti and Brugia malayi. These parasites cause lymphatic filariasis, a disease that can lead to significant swelling and inflammation, particularly in the limbs. DEC from dosepharmacy works by attacking the parasites, paralyzing and killing the worms within the body.
