About Nitazet 200mg Tablet DT

NITAZOXANIDE belongs to the class of 'antiprotozoal and antiviral' drugs, primarily used to treat diarrhoea caused by parasite infections of the intestines (Cryptosporidium parvum and Giardia lamblia). NITAZOXANIDE also treats protozoa infections caused by single-cell parasites that live in moist places like lakes, streams, and soil. Diarrhoea is a condition that causes the frequent passing of loose or watery stools.

NITAZOXANIDE contains Nitazoxanide, which belongs to the class of drugs known as thiazolides. Nitazoxanide is a broad-spectrum anti-parasitic medication. It inhibits the production of chemical substances required for energy metabolism and growth of protozoa, helminths (worm-like parasites), anaerobic (microbes that survive without oxygen), and microaerophilic (requires little oxygen to survive)  and viruses. Nitazoxanide is effective in the treatment of gastrointestinal infections, including Cryptosporidium parvum and Giardia lamblia.
