A member asked:
Is 250mg of paromomycin (x3) for 10 days enough to kill amebiosis? would my doctor know from the anascopy/stool/blood test if it is invasive?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: After use of Metronidazole , yes 10 days of paromycin is recommended for amebiosis . Disease is invasive to local tissue ( colon ) , absence in of repeat examination is needed.
