What is nitazoxanide 500mg used for?

Nitazoxanide 500 mg is an antiparasitic and antiviral medication used to treat infections caused by certain parasites and viruses. It is commonly prescribed for treating giardiasis (a parasitic infection of the intestines) and cryptosporidiosis (a diarrheal disease caused by Cryptosporidium). In some cases, it is also used to manage viral gastroenteritis and has been studied for its potential effectiveness against certain viral infections, including influenza and hepatitis C. The nitazoxanide 500mg works by interfering with the energy production of the parasite or virus, ultimately leading to their death and alleviating symptoms like diarrhea.
