It is primarily used to treat infections caused by protozoa and helminths. Protozoal infections that nitazoxanide is effective against include Cryptosporidium parvum and Giardia lamblia, both of which commonly cause gastrointestinal illnesses characterized by diarrhea. These infections are prevalent in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised individuals, making nitazoxanide particularly valuable in treating these vulnerable populations.</p>
<p>In addition to protozoa, nitazoxanide has shown efficacy against certain helminthic infections, such as infections with intestinal worms like Enterobius vermicularis (pinworm) and Ascaris lumbricoides (roundworm). Its mechanism of action involves interfering with the energy metabolism of parasites, thereby disrupting their ability to survive and replicate within the host.</p>
<p>Nitazoxanide is generally well-tolerated with minimal side effects, making it a preferred treatment option for parasitic infections where resistance to other medications may be a concern. However, as with any medication, it should be used under medical supervision to ensure appropriate dosing and effectiveness.</p>
