Antiprotozoal agents

Antiprotozoal agents are medications used to treat infections caused by protozoa—single-celled organisms that can cause diseases in humans, such as malaria, amoebiasis, and giardiasis. These drugs work by targeting specific parts of the protozoa's biology, disrupting their growth or killing them, which helps eliminate the infection. They are prescribed based on the type of protozoan involved and the severity of the illness. Proper use and dosage are important to effectively clear the infection and prevent resistance.
