Diloxanide + Tinidazole

Introduction

Diloxanide + Tinidazole is a combination medicine mainly used to treat amoebiasis and other intestinal infections. Amoebiasis is caused by contaminated food or water and can lead to symptoms like diarrhea, stomach pain, cramps, weakness, and sometimes blood in stools.
