Eofil Forte Tablet is an anti-parasitic medication that works by killing worms and inhibits the action of histamine (a natural chemical released by the body) responsible for causing allergic reactions in the body during parasite infection. Besides this, it also reduces the levels of eosinophil count (white blood cells), which increases during parasitic infection and thus controls breathlessness, cough, and cold associated with it.
