We are travellers and obtained this medication ( local pharmacy) for diarhoea which contains diloxanide furoate / metronidazole. is it suitable?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: This is treatment for amoebic dysentery. It is not appropriate to take for travelers diarrhea. Rifaximen or Azithromycin are the best antibiotics to take for travelers diarrhea.
