Kindly advise whether any other medication will help in clearing this problem and how do i know whether it is completely cured
My age is 45, Height is 5'8 feet and i weigh 77 kgs
Would highly appreciate if you could mail me on my email address: YYYY@YYYY or YYYY@YYYY

Hi & Welcome to HCM.
I appreciate your concern for the treatment of cysts of E.histolytica.
Nizonide-O contains Nitazoxanide (effective only for the trophozoites of E.histolytica responsible for diarrhea or dysentery) and Ofloxacin (antibiotic used to treat bacteria infection like E.coli, salmonella, etc).
This combination however is not effective to eradicate the cyst forms of E.histolytica which are responsible for the recurrence of amebiasis.
Diloxanide furoate should be given (three times dailyfor 10 days) along with Nizonide-O for complete treatment of acute amebiasis.
Hope the suggestion given above could be useful in total eradication of E.histolytica infection involving your intestines.
