Iodoquinol

Iodoquinol is an antiparasitic medication used to treat certain intestinal infections caused by parasites such as amoebae. It works by killing the parasites residing in the digestive tract, helping to alleviate symptoms like diarrhea, abdominal pain, and cramping. Iodoquinol is typically taken orally and is often used in combination with other medications for comprehensive treatment. As with all medications, it should be used under medical supervision to ensure safety and effectiveness, especially because it can affect iodine levels and thyroid function if not used appropriately.
