When to Use Nitazoxanide for Intestinal Infections
6 days ago by emmadosending
Nitazoxanide 200 mg is recommended for treating intestinal infections caused by parasites like Giardia lamblia and Cryptosporidium parvum, especially in children and immunocompromised individuals. It is particularly useful when diarrhea is persistent or severe and linked to these protozoal infections. Nitazoxanide may also be considered when first-line treatments like metronidazole are ineffective or not well-tolerated. It works by interfering with the energy production of the parasites, helping to reduce symptoms like watery diarrhea, abdominal pain, and cramping. Always use Nitazoxanide under medical supervision, with proper diagnosis to ensure the infection is susceptible to this antiparasitic treatment.
