Product Details:

Nitazoxanide tablets 500mg are used to treat diarrhoea caused by infection with the parasitic protozoal (single cell) organism Giardia lamblia, causing Giardiasis or Cryptosporidium parvum, causing Cryptosporidiosis.  Both organisims live in the intestines and are passed in the faeces and can survive outside the body for long periods of time.  Infection is usually from food or water contaminated with faeces and is easily spread by contact and lack of good hygiene.  Symptoms of Giardiasis usually develop 9-15 days after infection and can last up to 6 weeks; they include diarrhoea, gas, greasy stools that tend to float, stomach or abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting and dehydration due to loss of fluids, although in some cases there are no symptoms.  Symptoms of cryptosporidiosis usually develop 2-10 after infection and last for 1-2 weeks; they include watery diarrhoea, stomach cramps or pain, dehydration, nausea, vomiting, fever and weight loss.  Nizonide tablets 500mg kill the parasite and relieve the symptoms of infection.
