  1. Giardiasis: Nitazoxanide is effective against Giardia lamblia, a common intestinal parasite that causes giardiasis, a diarrheal illness.

  2. Cryptosporidiosis: Nitazoxanide is used to treat cryptosporidiosis, an infection caused by the protozoan parasite Cryptosporidium, which leads to diarrhea and gastrointestinal symptoms, especially in immunocompromised individuals.

  3. Amebiasis: Nitazoxanide can be prescribed for amebiasis, an infection caused by the protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica, which typically leads to dysentery (bloody diarrhea) and liver abscesses.

  4. Cyclosporiasis: Nitazoxanide may be used to treat cyclosporiasis, an infection caused by the parasite Cyclospora cayetanensis, which can cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as watery diarrhea, nausea, and abdominal cramps.

  5. Rotavirus Infections: Nitazoxanide has been shown to be effective against rotavirus infections, a common cause of viral gastroenteritis, especially in children.

  6. Norovirus Infections: Nitazoxanide has demonstrated activity against norovirus, another common cause of viral gastroenteritis, although its efficacy in treating norovirus infections in humans is still being investigated.

  7. Dosage and Administration: Nitazoxanide is usually taken orally in the form of tablets or suspension. The dosage and duration of treatment depend on the specific infection being treated and the patient's age and weight.

  8. Mechanism of Action: Nitazoxanide works by interfering with the energy metabolism of parasites and viruses, thereby inhibiting their ability to replicate and survive in the host organism.

  9. Adverse Effects: Common side effects of nitazoxanide may include gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Allergic reactions are rare but can occur.

  10. Precautions: Nitazoxanide should be used with caution in patients with pre-existing liver or kidney disease, as well as in pregnant or breastfeeding women. It is essential to follow the prescribed dosage and duration of treatment to minimize the risk of adverse effects and ensure efficacy.

  11. Drug Interactions: Nitazoxanide may interact with certain medications, particularly those that affect liver function or are metabolized by the liver. It is essential to inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are taking before starting nitazoxanide therapy.

  12. Resistance: Resistance to nitazoxanide is rare but can occur with prolonged or inappropriate use. It is essential to use nitazoxanide judiciously and as directed by a healthcare provider to minimize the risk of resistance.

Impacted of Nitazoxanide On Probiotics

Bacteria Impacted by Nitazoxanide

We extend modifiers to include items that changes the parent and child taxa. I.e. for a species, that would be the genus that is belongs to and the strains in the species.

Impact of Nitazoxanide on Conditions from US National Library of Medicine

A higher number indicates impact on more bacteria associated with the condition and confidence on the impact.

We have X bacteria high and Y low reported. We find that the modifier reduces some and increases other of these two groups. We just tally: X|reduces + Y|Increase = Positive   X|increases + Y|decrease = Negative.

Benefit Ratio:
Numbers above 0 have increasing positive effect.
Numbers below 0 have increasing negative effect.
