NITAZOXIDE ORAL 

Nitazoxanide oral Suspension (100mg/5ml)

Nitazoxide Oral contains Nitazoxanide Oral Suspension (100mg/5ml), which is an antiparasitic and antiviral medication commonly used to treat various infections. This suspension is especially effective in managing protozoal infections, viral gastroenteritis, and helminth infections in both adults and children. Its broad-spectrum activity and well-tolerated profile make it a valuable addition to any treatment regimen.

How Does It Work?

 It inhibits the enzyme pyruvate

oxidoreductase (PFOR) which is essential for the anaerobic energy metabolism of certain protozoa and anaerobic bacteria. This disruption leads to an accumulation of metabolic intermediates within the cells, ultimately causing cell death. Additionally, Nitazoxanide has been shown to modulate immune responses, which contributes to its antiviral properties.

Uses

Nitazoxide Oral is utilized for a variety of conditions:

Protozoal Infections

• Giardiasis: Effective against Giardia lamblia, reducing the duration and severity of the infection.
• Cryptosporidiosis: Particularly useful in immunocompromised patients, such as those with HIV/AIDS, by reducing symptoms and clearing the infection.

Viral Gastroenteritis

• Rotavirus and Norovirus: Helps in managing viral gastroenteritis in children, reducing the severity and duration of diarrhea.

Helminth Infections

• Effective against certain intestinal worms, contributing to the clearance of helminthic infections.

Other Infections

• May be used off-label for other protozoal infections and has potential applications in treating viral hepatitis and influenza.
