About Nitzix Suspension

Nitzix Suspension is an antiprotozoal medicine used to treat diarrhoea in children. Loose, watery stools that happen more frequently than usual are called diarrhoea. A virus typically causes diarrhoea, though tainted food can also be the culprit. Less often, it may indicate the presence of another illness, like irritable bowel syndrome or inflammatory bowel disease.

Nitzix Suspension contains Nitazoxanide, which belongs to the class of drugs known as thiazolides. Nitazoxanide is a broad-spectrum anti-parasitic medication. This medicine works by inhibiting the chemical substances required for energy metabolism and the growth of protozoa, helminths (worm-like parasites), anaerobic (microbes that survive without oxygen), and microaerophilic (requiring little oxygen to survive) viruses.

Nitzix Suspension should be given to your child as advised by your paediatrician. Do not give more than the prescribed dose of Nitzix Suspension to the child. Nitzix Suspension should be given with food to your child. Your paediatrician will decide the dose of the medicine depending on the type and severity of the infection. Nitzix Suspension may cause certain side effects in your child, such as nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, and fever. These side effects typically do not require medical attention and usually resolve gradually over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen in your child, please consult your paediatrician.

The presence of other medical conditions or the use of other medications may interact with the use of Nitzix Suspension. Nitzix Suspension is not recommended for those who are hypersensitive to any substance in Nitzix Suspension. So, before using Nitzix Suspension, let your doctor know about all your children's medical conditions, sensitivities, and all medications used.
