Nitazoxanide（Cat No.:A000628）is a broad-spectrum antiparasitic and antiviral medication used to treat gastrointestinal infections caused by protozoa and helminths, such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia. It works by inhibiting the pyruvate oxidoreductase enzyme-dependent electron transfer, disrupting energy metabolism in parasites. Nitazoxanide is also being studied for its antiviral properties, including potential activity against viruses like rotavirus, norovirus, and influenza. It is well-tolerated with minimal side effects, such as mild gastrointestinal discomfort. Available in tablet and oral suspension forms, Nitazoxanide is a versatile and effective treatment for various parasitic and viral infections.
