Entamizole SS Tablets (3x10s) is a high-quality pharmaceutical product used for the treatment of mild to moderate amoebic and bacterial gut infections, available for home delivery at PakMeds.

Entamizole SS Tablets Ingredients and Usage

Entamizole SS (Standard Strength) Tablets are a combination therapy used in Pakistan for managing intestinal amoebiasis and associated bacterial infections. Each tablet contains 250 mg of Diloxanide Furoate and 200 mg of Metronidazole. This strength is typically used for mild to moderate cases of diarrhea and dysentery.

It is effective against both the active (trophozoite) and dormant (cyst) stages of Entamoeba histolytica. By providing a balanced dose, it helps relieve the pain of intestinal cramping and helps normalize bowel movements. PakMeds provides Entamizole SS to ensure you have a reliable and effective treatment for common foodborne and waterborne infections.

The SS formulation is often preferred for older children or adults with less severe symptoms who still require the dual-action protection of these two active ingredients.

How Does Entamizole SS Tablets Work?

The medication works by targeting the biological functions of anaerobic bacteria and protozoa. Metronidazole enters the pathogen’s cells and creates toxic byproducts that damage its DNA, effectively killing the organism. This action is crucial for clearing systemic infections that may have spread to the gut wall.

Diloxanide Furoate works as a luminal agent, remaining in the bowel to destroy the hardy cysts of the amoeba. Since these cysts can survive in the environment and cause reinfection, killing them is a key part of the treatment protocol. This combination ensures a “thorough” treatment of the entire gut environment.

By reducing the microbial load in the intestines, the inflammation in the bowel lining begins to heal, which leads to the cessation of diarrhea and a reduction in abdominal pressure and pain.

Entamizole SS Tablets Side Effects

Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, and a persistent metallic taste in the mouth. Some users may experience mild headaches or a loss of appetite. These effects are generally manageable and resolve quickly after the medication is discontinued.

In rare cases, users may develop a skin rash or hives. If you notice any unusual neurological symptoms like tingling or numbness, PakMeds recommends contacting a doctor. It is always best to take these tablets during or after a meal to reduce the possibility of an upset stomach.
