Florocid Injection is a medicine used to manage filariasis, a condition caused by parasitic worms that enter the body through mosquito bites. These worms can cause abnormal enlargement of body parts, especially the lower body, leading to pain and severe disability. Florocid Injection helps kill the worms and reduce the associated pain.

This medicine is administered through infusion and should only be taken under the supervision of a healthcare professional. It is important to follow the prescribed management schedule and attend all appointments with your doctor for proper management of filariasis.

Please consult your doctor before starting management with Florocid Injection, especially if you have liver, kidney, or heart disease. It is also advisable to avoid alcohol consumption while taking this medicine.

Directions for Use of Florocid Injection 1 ML

Florocid Injection should only be administered under the supervision of a healthcare professional.
Follow the instructions provided by your doctor or healthcare provider for proper administration.
Attend all scheduled appointments with your doctor to ensure proper management.
The usual method of administration is through infusion.
If you have any specific questions or concerns about using Florocid Injection, consult your doctor for personalised advice and guidance.

Florocid Injection is an injection medication. It is not taken orally or applied topically.

Florocid Injection may cause some side effects. Here are a few common ones:

Pain and irritation at the injection site: This is temporary and usually goes away on its own.
Nausea or vomiting: You may feel sick to your stomach, but it should subside soon.
Headache: If you experience a headache, try resting in a quiet, dark room.

Managing the Side Effects:

Here are some natural ways to manage the side effects of Florocid Injection:

For pain and irritation at the injection site, apply a cold compress or ice pack to the area for relief.
To ease nausea or vomiting, sip on clear fluids like ginger ale or chamomile tea.
If you have a headache, try relaxation techniques like deep breathing exercises or taking a warm bath to help alleviate the discomfort.

Florocid Injection contains two active ingredients: sodium fluoride and procaine.

Sodium fluoride kills the worms that cause filariasis.
Procaine works by blocking pain signals from the nerves to the brain, reducing the sensation of pain.
