It is primarily prescribed for treating diarrhea caused by protozoa like Giardia lamblia and Cryptosporidium parvum, especially in children and immunocompromised individuals. Nitazoxanide works by interfering with the energy production of the parasites, effectively stopping their growth. Additionally, it has shown effectiveness against certain viral infections, such as rotavirus and norovirus, though its use in these cases is less common. Nitazoxanide is generally well-tolerated, with mild side effects like nausea or abdominal pain being most common.
