Amebiasis is treated with medications that kill the Entamoeba histolytica parasite. One effective option is nitazoxanide, an antiparasitic drug that disrupts the parasite’s metabolism. Doctors may also prescribe metronidazole or tinidazole, followed by a luminal agent like paromomycin to clear remaining parasites from the intestines. Maintaining proper hygiene, drinking clean water, and avoiding contaminated food help prevent reinfection. Symptoms like diarrhea, abdominal pain, and fatigue should be monitored, and hydration is essential. In severe cases, hospitalization may be needed. Always consult a healthcare professional before taking nitazoxanide or any other medication for amebiasis treatment.
