Medications for amoebiasis are used to treat amoebic infections. Some can also treat bacterial infections and other parasitic diseases. They work by killing the parasites or bacteria causing the infection. Common classes include certain nitroimidazoles and macrolides. Nitroimidazoles like metronidazole (Flagyl) and tinidazole (Tindamax) are usually taken as oral pills. Macrolides, such as erythromycin (Ery-Tab), come in oral forms like tablets and suspensions. Another option is chloroquine phosphate (Aralen), which is typically taken as an oral pill. These medications offer different ways to effectively treat amoebiasis and other infections.
