Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

  • Unicarbazan Forte tablet contains a combination of diethylcarbamazine and chlorpheniramine as active substances.
  • Diethylcarbamazine alters the metabolic process in the cells of the parasite, which makes them more prone to killing by the human defense system. Thus it helps in killing the parasite causing the infection.
  • The killing of the parasite releases a chemical called histamine which produces allergic symptoms like skin redness, itching, swelling, and watering of the eyes. Chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine medicine, which blocks the effect of histamine and relieves the allergic symptoms associated with it.
