Zstop Suspension

Zstop Suspension is an oral nitazoxanide medicine in suspension form, supplied as labeled in each bottle by Maneesh Pharmaceuticals Ltd. It belongs to the anthelmintic and anti-worm group, and it is used to treat certain parasitic infections in the intestine. Because it is a liquid suspension, Zstop Suspension can be easier to swallow than tablets or capsules and can be measured to the dose prescribed by a doctor.

How it works: Nitazoxanide works by interfering with the energy production systems that some parasites need to survive and multiply. In suspension form, the medicine is already dispersed in liquid, which makes it easier to measure and take by mouth, especially for patients who cannot use tablets.

Zstop Suspension is a liquid formulation, so it is useful for people who have trouble swallowing solid dosage forms or who need a doctor-adjusted dose. Since there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand, this product should be used exactly as directed on the label and by the prescriber, with the dose measured carefully before each use.

• Treatment of certain intestinal parasitic infections
• Anti-worm therapy prescribed by a doctor
• Symptomatic relief when the infection is causing diarrhea or stomach upset
• Infection treatment when a liquid dosage form is preferred

• Shake the bottle well before each dose so the medicine is evenly mixed.
• Measure the dose carefully with an oral syringe or medicine spoon, not a kitchen spoon.
• Take Zstop Suspension exactly as prescribed, usually with food unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• Swallow the measured suspension by mouth; do not mix it into a full meal unless instructed.
• Finish the full course even if you start feeling better before it is completed.
• If a dose is missed, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.

The amount in each bottle is as labeled for Zstop Suspension, and the exact dose is based on the prescribed milliliter amount rather than a fixed tablet strength. It may be taken once or twice daily depending on the infection and the doctor’s instructions, and the maximum daily amount should not be exceeded unless a prescriber specifically directs it. Your doctor decides the correct dose, duration, and whether this suspension is the right nitazoxanide form for you.

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

• This suspension must be measured accurately; dosing errors are more likely with liquid medicines than with tablets.
• Do not use it for a condition your doctor has not diagnosed, because not all diarrhea is caused by parasites.
• Tell your prescriber about any other medicines, especially those that may affect the liver or stomach.
