Metronidazole, Diloxanide

Metronidazole and Diloxanide is a combination medication used to treat certain intestinal infections caused by parasites or bacteria. Metronidazole is an antibiotic that works by stopping the growth of bacteria and parasites, while Diloxanide is an anti-parasitic agent that targets the parasites causing the infection.
This combination medication is primarily used for treating infections of the large intestine, such as those caused by Giardia lamblia or Entamoeba histolytica. Complete the entire course of treatment as prescribed by your healthcare professional, even if you start feeling better before the treatment is over. This will ensure that the infection is fully eradicated and prevent it from returning.
The medication is typically taken orally in the form of tablets or capsules, with or without food. Dosage and duration of treatment may vary depending on the severity of the infection, age, and overall health of the patient. Follow the instructions given by your healthcare professional to achieve the best results.
Possible side effects of Metronidazole and Diloxanide include nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, or headache. These side effects are generally mild and temporary, but if they persist or worsen, consult your healthcare professional for advice.
