Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Giardia Zambia is the most common cause of parasitic gastrointestinal disease and most common symptoms of guardians are diarrhea, abdominal pain, particularly cramping, bloating, nausea with or without vomiting, malaise, and fatigue. The guardians is diagnosed by detecting an antigen in the soothe most common treatment for guardians is metronidazole for 5-10 days. It has an efficacy rate of 75% to 100%. Tinidazole is highly effective at treating guardians (>90%). It also can be given as a single dose and is well tolerated. The single tab in a dose of 500 mg is sufficient in management of guardians. Thank you.
