Important Information:

Before using Entamizole DS, or any medication, it’s essential to carefully consider the following:

• Potential Side Effects: While generally safe when used as prescribed, Entamizole DS can cause some side effects in certain individuals. These can include gastrointestinal upset (such as nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea), changes in taste, a decrease in white blood cells (which can weaken the immune system), skin reactions (rashes, hives, or angioedema—a serious allergic reaction), and, in rare cases, neurological problems. If you experience any unusual or concerning side effects, contact your doctor immediately.

• Drug Interactions: Entamizole DS can interact negatively with several other medications, including anticoagulants (blood thinners), phenobarbital (a sedative), lithium (used to treat bipolar disorder), alcohol, and phenytoin (an anti-seizure medication). It’s vital to inform your doctor about all other medications, supplements, or herbal remedies you are currently taking to avoid potential harmful interactions.

• Contraindications: There are certain situations where Entamizole DS should not be used. Do not take this medication if you are allergic to any of its ingredients, have liver disease, have a history of seizures or a low seizure threshold (meaning you are more prone to seizures), or are experiencing tingling or pain in your hands or feet. Alcohol consumption should also be strictly avoided while taking Entamizole DS.

• Pregnancy: The use of Entamizole DS during pregnancy should only be considered if the potential benefits significantly outweigh the potential risks to the developing fetus. This decision should be made in close consultation with your doctor.

• Storage: To maintain the effectiveness and safety of the medication, always store Entamizole DS at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat.
