Description

NITAZOXANIDE belongs to the class of ‘antiprotozoal and antiviral’ drugs, primarily used to treat diarrhoea caused by parasite infections of the intestines (Cryptosporidium parvum and Giardia lamblia). NITAZOXANIDE also treats protozoa infections caused by single-cell parasites that live in moist places like lakes, streams, and soil. Diarrhoea is a condition that causes the frequent passing of loose or watery stools.

NITAZOXANIDE contains Nitazoxanide, which belongs to the class of drugs known as thiazolides. Nitazoxanide is a broad-spectrum anti-parasitic medication. It inhibits the production of chemical substances required for energy metabolism and growth of protozoa, helminths (worm-like parasites), anaerobic (microbes that survive without oxygen), and microaerophilic (requires little oxygen to survive) and viruses. Nitazoxanide is effective in the treatment of gastrointestinal infections.

Please take NITAZOXANIDE in the dose and duration prescribed by your doctor based on your medical condition. NITAZOXANIDE is generally safe to use. However, some may experience side effects like nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, fever, hair loss, dizziness, giddiness, and headache. Most of these side effects of NITAZOXANIDE do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. If these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.

Inform your doctor if you have any liver or kidney diseases asthma, and weakened immune system before starting NITAZOXANIDE. If you are allergic to NITAZOXANIDE or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. Do not suddenly stop this medicine to avoid unpleasant side effects and sudden withdrawal symptoms. Intake of probiotics, prebiotics, and plenty of fluids is recommended if you are suffering from diarrhoea. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should use NITAZOXANIDE with proper consultation and caution. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery after taking NITAZOXANIDE as it may cause dizziness.
