Nitazoxanide in the Treatment of Taenia Saginata and Hymenolepis nana Infections*

J. F. Rossignol AND H. Maisonneuve
Department of Internal Medicine, University of South Alabama College of Medicine, Mobile, Alabama 36688

Nitazoxanide, a nitrothiazole derivative, was tested in 22 patients infected with Taenia saginata and 18 infected with Hymenolepis nana. A single 25 mg/kg body weight dose was effective against T. saginata, while twice this dose level (50 mg/kg), also as a single dose, was required for treating H. nana infection. Tolerance of the drug was good at both dose levels used.

Accepted for publication December 14, 1983.
