A member asked:

I was on an antibiotic, nitazoxanide for giardia infection. i had blood work done 12 hours after my last dose... i had an lp(a) test done, my results were good i think, low at 14.3 nmol. would the sickness / antibiotics provide these low results?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

One study showed that it protected hamsters & mice from elevated serum lipids when fed high fat diets. I have seen serum cholesterol & ,ldl temporarily plummet when patients were quite ill in the hospital only to rise up again weeks after recovery from illness.
