About Nozoa 100mg Syrup

Nozoa 100mg Syrup belongs to the class of 'antiprotozoal and antiviral' drugs, primarily used to treat diarrhoea caused by parasite infections of the intestines (Cryptosporidium parvum and Giardia lamblia). Nozoa 100mg Syrup also treats protozoa infections caused by single-cell parasites that live in moist places like lakes, streams, and soil. Diarrhoea is a condition that causes the frequent passing of loose or watery stools.

Nozoa 100mg Syrup contains Nitazoxanide, which belongs to the class of drugs known as thiazolides. Nitazoxanide is a broad-spectrum anti-parasitic medication. It inhibits the production of chemical substances required for energy metabolism and growth of protozoa, helminths (worm-like parasites), anaerobic (microbes that survive without oxygen), and microaerophilic (requires little oxygen to survive)  and viruses. Nitazoxanide is effective in the treatment of gastrointestinal infections.

  • Eat fibre rich food like whole grains, beans, lentils, berries, broccoli, peas, and bananas.
  • Avoid foods rich in calcium, grapefruit, and grapefruit juice as they might hinder antibiotic's absorption.
  • If you have diarrhoea try to drink appropriate amounts of fluids to avoid dehydration. 
  • If you have minor diarrhoea (less than four stools daily) drinking caffeine-free soft drinks, juices or sport rehydration drinks can be sufficient. 
  • If the diarrhoea is more severe, specially formulated rehydration drinks should be taken.
