Enteroquinol 250mg Strip Of 20 Tablets
Description
Enteroquinol tablets are used to treat protozoal infections such as intestinal amoebic dysentery, amoebic colitis, giardiasis, and vaginitis. They contain quiniodochlor as the active ingredient, which works by destroying the cysts that develop into adult parasites within the intestine. By eliminating these parasites, Enteroquinol helps control infections that can cause serious discomfort and complications. Amoebic dysentery and colitis occur when amoebae infect the intestine, while giardiasis spreads through contaminated food or water. Vaginitis may also result from protozoal infections, causing itching, pain, and foul-smelling discharge.
This tablet should always be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Overuse or misuse can be dangerous, as high doses of Enteroquinol may damage peripheral nerves or the optic nerve, leading to serious complications. Therefore, it is very important not to self-medicate and to follow your doctor’s advice regarding dose and duration.
Like any medication, Enteroquinol may not suit everyone. People with a known allergy to quiniodochlor or any other component of the tablet should not take it. Stopping the medication early without medical guidance can result in incomplete treatment and a recurrence of symptoms. For the best outcome, always complete the prescribed course, even if you start feeling better.
Before beginning treatment with Enteroquinol, inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to conceive, or breastfeeding. The medicine should be used with caution in such cases, only if the potential benefits outweigh the risks. Your doctor may also adjust your dose or suggest alternatives based on your health condition and stage of pregnancy or lactation.
It is also important to share your full medical history and details of all medicines, supplements, or herbal products you are currently taking. This helps your doctor avoid harmful drug interactions and ensures that Enteroquinol works safely and effectively. When used properly under medical supervision, Enteroquinol tablets are an effective treatment for protozoal infections, helping to relieve symptoms and restore overall well-being.
