Prevention medicine for Filaria
Hi,
Some of my family members have Filaria. Hence I'm afraid if other members of the family like me may get infected. I heard that preventive medicine is available for filariasis and some governments give free medicines to citizens. So please suggest me which preventive medicine should I consume and dosage. I am from Kerala State of India.
Thank you
