Antiprotozoals

Antiprotozoals are medications used to treat infections caused by protozoa, which are tiny single-celled organisms that can lead to diseases in humans, such as malaria and giardiasis. These drugs work by targeting specific processes in the protozoa, effectively stopping their growth or killing them. Different types of antiprotozoals are used depending on the type of infection and the organism involved. They are an important part of public health, especially in regions where protozoal infections are common, helping to reduce illness and promote overall health.
