My name is archana, 34 years old. I was suffering with intermiitent loose motion and stomach pain, and I was diagnosed with \"Amoebic Infection\" from food. I was taking NIZONIDE 500 and CYCLOPAM since the last 5 days as per the doctors prescription and no relief yet for the abdominal pain. Can you please look into and suggest a solution?
Hello, Thanks for posting on Chat Doctor, If indeed the cause of your diarrhea is amoebic infection then the treatment your doctor indicated should have been effective (i.e. within the number of days that you started taking them) but if you still have similar symptoms, then it might be probably that your amoebic infection has developed resistance against the antiprotozoal agent dioxide, and you might require another type of antibiotics such as metronidazole (or common brand name Flagyl) which usually is very effective with amoebic infections. I also suggest you start oral rely Chat Doctor.  If after taking the metronidazole, and you still have similar symptoms it will be best to do another stool test + antibiotics sensitivity (stool exams + culture). Another microbial organisms could be present and therefore require more extensive testing to determine them. Hope this helps and wish you the best.
