Description: Nitazoxanide is a broad-spectrum medicine commonly used to treat parasitic infections and, in some cases, certain viral infections. It works by interfering with the energy-producing processes of parasites, which helps stop their growth and allows the body to clear the infection. Doctors often prescribe nitazoxanide for intestinal parasites such as Giardia lamblia and Cryptosporidium, which can cause persistent diarrhea in both children and adults. In addition to its antiparasitic action, nitazoxanide has shown antiviral activity in some infections. It may help reduce the severity and duration of symptoms in certain viral illnesses by blocking viral replication and supporting the body’s immune response. However, it is not a general antiviral medicine and should only be used for viral infections when specifically advised by a doctor. Nitazoxanide is usually taken for a short course, often 3 days, and is best taken with food to improve absorption and reduce stomach upset. Most people tolerate it well, with mild side effects like nausea, abdominal pain, or headache. Using nitazoxanide exactly as prescribed ensures effective treatment while minimizing side effects and resistance.
