Hi,
Giardia is a water borne parasitic infection found all over the world, it can be transmitted by drinking infected water, swimming in pools, or from another infected person.
There are several drugs for its treatment, but not everyone responds to them.
The most common drugs used for treatment are:
metronidazole
Tinidazole
Nitazoxanide
But you shouldnt take these medications without first referring to your doctor.
I hope this answered your question.
