The nizonide 500mg tablet, containing nitazoxanide, is an antiparasitic and antiviral medication used primarily to treat infections caused by protozoa and certain viruses. It is commonly prescribed for treating diarrhea caused by Giardia lamblia and Cryptosporidium parvum infections, especially in patients with a compromised immune system. Nitazoxanide works by inhibiting the growth of parasites and viruses, helping to alleviate symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhea. Typically, the dosage and duration are determined by a healthcare professional, depending on the condition and patient profile. Side effects may include nausea, vomiting, and stomach pain. It's essential to complete the prescribed course to prevent reinfection.
