Nanazoxid 500 Mg 18 Tablets

Description:

Nanazoxid 500 mg 18 tablets is an oral prescription antiparasitic medicine containing nitazoxanide. It is used for the treatment of a wide range of intestinal parasitic infections that cause acute or persistent diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and digestive upset. Nanazoxid works by disrupting the energy metabolism of susceptible parasites, helping to clear the infection and restore normal bowel function. It is suitable for adults and adolescents as directed by a healthcare professional.

Indications:

• Treatment of intestinal helminth infections (helminthiasis) caused by susceptible worms.
• Treatment of giardiasis (Giardia lamblia infection) associated with diarrhea, bloating, and abdominal discomfort.
• Treatment of intestinal amoebiasis (Entamoeba histolytica) presenting with abdominal pain and diarrhea.
• Treatment of trichomoniasis caused by Trichomonas species (as directed by a physician).
• Treatment of fascioliasis (liver fluke infection) as prescribed by a specialist.
• Treatment of cryptosporidiosis (Cryptosporidium parvum infection), especially in immunocompetent patients with watery diarrhea.
• Relief of symptoms associated with these infections such as watery or loose stools, abdominal cramps, nausea, and general digestive discomfort.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Nitazoxanide – 500 mg per film-coated tablet.
• Excipients: film-coating and tablet core excipients (exact excipient list and concentrations , please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website; please refer to the package insert for full details).

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Nanazoxid 500 mg is for oral use only and should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
• Typical adult dose (for many parasitic diarrheal infections): 500 mg (1 tablet) twice daily for 3 days. However, the exact dose and duration may vary depending on the type and severity of infection and the patient’s condition. Always follow your physician’s instructions.
• Tablets are usually taken with food to improve absorption and reduce the risk of stomach upset, unless your doctor advises otherwise.
• Swallow the tablet whole with a sufficient amount of water. Do not crush, break, or chew the film-coated tablet unless instructed by a healthcare professional.
• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed dose.
• Complete the full course of treatment even if symptoms improve early, to ensure complete eradication of the infection and reduce the risk of recurrence or resistance.
• Use in children: dosing in children is weight- and age-dependent and should only be determined by a pediatrician. Do not give this medicine to children without medical supervision.

Clinical Benefits:

• Broad-spectrum antiparasitic action against multiple intestinal protozoa and helminths, helping to treat mixed parasitic infections.
• Helps control and reduce acute and persistent diarrhea associated with parasitic infections, supporting better hydration and recovery.
• Improves gastrointestinal comfort by reducing abdominal cramps, bloating, and discomfort caused by parasites.
• Targets parasite energy metabolism through inhibition of pyruvate-ferredoxin oxidoreductase–dependent electron transfer, helping to clear the infection effectively.
• Supports overall digestive health and well-being by eliminating the underlying parasitic cause of symptoms.
