Is diethylcarbamazine citrate an antibiotic?

[Davidbrownm05]

No, Diethylcarbamazine citrate is not an antibiotic. It is an antiparasitic drug used to treat a variety of parasitic infections, including filariasis, onchocerciasis, and loiasis.

Antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections. Parasites are different from bacteria and antibiotics are not effective against them.

If you are unsure whether an antibiotic is the right treatment for you, please consult a doctor.
