It works by interfering with the energy production of the parasites, leading to their death. The Nitazoxanide is effective for both children and adults and is often prescribed when other treatments have failed. It is typically taken orally with food to enhance absorption. Apart from diarrhea, it is also investigated for its potential in treating various viral infections. Side effects may include nausea, headache, and abdominal pain. Always use under medical supervision.
