Nitacure 100 mg Suspension

Nitacure 100 mg Suspension is an oral suspension that contains nitazoxanide 100 mg in each bottle unit as labeled for this product. It belongs to the anthelmintic/anti-worm and antiprotozoal class and is used to treat certain intestinal infections caused by parasites and protozoa. Nitacure 100 mg Suspension is taken by mouth and may be chosen when a liquid form is preferred for children or adults who have trouble swallowing tablets. It should be used only when a clinician has confirmed that this specific treatment is appropriate for the infection.

How it works: Nitazoxanide works by interfering with the parasite’s ability to use energy, which helps stop the organism from surviving and multiplying. In suspension form, Nitacure 100 mg can be shaken and measured accurately so the prescribed dose is easier to take by mouth.

The 100 mg suspension is a lower-dose liquid form of Nitacure, which can make dose adjustment easier for patients who need small, carefully measured amounts. Because it is a suspension, it is often selected for people who cannot swallow pills or who need flexible dosing based on age and weight, and a doctor may choose it to help match the prescribed milligram dose more precisely.

• Treatment of giardiasis
• Treatment of cryptosporidiosis
• Treatment of certain intestinal protozoal infections
• Doctor-directed treatment of parasite-related diarrhea

• Shake the bottle well before each dose so the medicine is evenly mixed.
• Measure the suspension carefully with a proper oral syringe or medicine cup; do not use a kitchen spoon.
• Take Nitacure 100 mg Suspension exactly as prescribed, with food if your doctor or label advises it, since food may improve tolerance.
• Finish the full course even if symptoms improve early.
• If a dose is missed, take it when remembered unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.
• Keep the cap closed tightly after each use and follow the pharmacy’s mixing or reconstitution instructions if provided.

Each labeled bottle of Nitacure 100 mg Suspension provides 100 mg of nitazoxanide per dose unit as supplied for this product. The exact frequency depends on the infection, age, and body weight, and this strength may be taken more than once a day as directed by the prescriber; the doctor determines the maximum daily amount for the patient. Do not guess the dose with this strength, because the 100 mg suspension is intended for individualized dosing rather than self-directed use.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
