Sprot syrup is used to treat certain intestinal infections caused by amoebas or giardia, including amoebic diarrhoea, dysentery and liver abscess. It contains a combination of metronidazole and diloxanide. The metronidazole component damages the genetic material of susceptible organisms, while the diloxanide component acts in the large intestine to clear amoebas that may remain after symptoms improve.

How does this medicine work?

Sprot syrup contains a combination of metronidazole and diloxanide. The metronidazole component damages the genetic material of susceptible organisms, stopping them from surviving. The diloxanide component acts mainly in the large intestine to clear amoebas that remain there. Their combined action treats the infection and helps clear continued carriage.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

Some medicines can affect the way Sprot syrup works. Tell your doctor about all the medicines, vitamins and supplements you take. In particular, warfarin and other blood thinners may increase bleeding risk; lithium may reach harmful levels; disulfiram may cause mental or behaviour changes; seizure medicines and medicines affecting the nervous system may alter effects; and medicines processed by the liver may need review.

Interactions with food items

Avoid alcohol during treatment and for the period advised after the last dose because metronidazole can cause severe nausea, flushing, vomiting or headache with alcohol.
