Diloxanide Furoate Tablets IP (Amicline)

How it Works: Diloxanide furoate, the active ingredient in Amicline tablets, is an antiprotozoal medication used to treat infections caused by protozoa, particularly Entamoeba histolytica, the parasite responsible for amoebiasis. Amoebiasis is a gastrointestinal infection that can cause symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, and fever. Diloxanide furoate works by inhibiting the growth and reproduction of Entamoeba histolytica in the intestines, thereby helping to eliminate the parasite from the body and treating the infection.
