Nizonide 500 Tablet is used to treat diarrhoea caused by gut parasites, such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium. It is a single-ingredient medicine containing nitazoxanide, which belongs to a class of medicines called antiprotozoals.
This medicine is also used to treat amoebiasis and other intestinal parasitic infections picked up from contaminated food or water. It helps clear the parasites, easing diarrhoea, stomach cramps and bloating. Take the tablet with food, in the dose and for the full course prescribed by your doctor.
Drinking oral rehydration solution (ORS) and plenty of clean, safe water helps replace fluids lost through diarrhoea. Washing your hands well, especially before eating and after using the toilet, helps prevent the infection spreading.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you have liver or kidney disease, and about other medicines you take. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. This medicine may turn your urine a brighter yellow colour, which is harmless. Contact your doctor if diarrhoea is severe or bloody, you show signs of dehydration, or symptoms do not improve. Do not stop taking this medicine unless your doctor advises you to do so.
