Patient: I am suffering from amoebaiasis for last four days . I am 36 yrs male ; body wt 70 kgs . Iam using tab Ciprofloxacin 500 mg only . I have strong allergy on Tinidazole / Metronidazole . what should be my alternative drugs for cure. Please suggest me. Doctor: Hi bandow, Welcome to healthcare Magic! How were you able to know that it is Amebioasis. If proven by stool examination then you must get a proper treatment under the supervision of a qualified physician. There are many drugs apart from tinidazole/metronidazole which are effective against amebiasis like Quiniodochlor, Diloxanide Furoate etc. to name a few. The dose and regimen your clinician would know. I do not agree with your choice of taking ciprofloxacin for amebiasis, you are harming yourself by self medication. I hope the advise would be informative and useful for you. Take Care!
