Ornidazole, Diloxanide

Ornidazole and Diloxanide are combination medications used for treating infections caused by parasites in the gastrointestinal tract, particularly giardiasis and amoebiasis.
Ornidazole is an antibiotic and antiprotozoal medication that works by inhibiting the growth of certain parasitic organisms, while Diloxanide is an anti-amebic medication that is active against Entamoeba histolytica, the organism responsible for amoebic dysentery.
Together, these two medications provide a more comprehensive treatment approach, targeting multiple stages of the parasite’s life cycle and increasing the chances of complete elimination of the infection. The medication is usually prescribed for a duration of 10 days, with careful follow-up necessary to confirm eradication of the infection.
As with all medications, follow the prescribed dosage and duration to ensure effective treatment and reduce the risk of developing antibiotic-resistant strains. In case of side effects or persistent symptoms, consult with a healthcare professional for guidance.
