About Tonid DF 250mg/300mg Tablet

DILOXANIDE+TINIDAZOLE belongs to a class of medication called 'antiprotozoals' used to treat diarrhea and amoebic dysentery. Diarrhea is characterized by loose, watery stools or a frequent need to have a bowel movement. Amoebic dysentery is an infection caused by any of the amoebae of the Entamoeba group. It causes intestinal inflammation, primarily of the colon. It can lead to mild or severe stomach cramps and severe diarrhea with mucus or blood in the feces.

DILOXANIDE+TINIDAZOLE is a combination of two medicines, namely: Diloxanide and Tinidazole. Diloxanide (amoebicide) works inside the large intestine to kill the infection-causing amoeba (parasites). Tinidazole (antibiotic) works by damaging the DNA (genetic material) of bacteria and protozoa and inhibits the formation of new DNA essential for bacteria's survival. Thereby, it kills microorganisms and prevents the spread of infection.

You are advised to take DILOXANIDE+TINIDAZOLE for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you based on your medical condition. Swallow it as a whole with a glass of water. Do not chew, crush or break it. DILOXANIDE+TINIDAZOLE is to be taken with food. You may experience common side effects like nausea, headache, dryness in the mouth, metallic taste, and flatulence in some cases. Most of these side effects of DILOXANIDE+TINIDAZOLE do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to DILOXANIDE+TINIDAZOLE or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. Avoid taking DILOXANIDE+TINIDAZOLE and consult a doctor before taking DILOXANIDE+TINIDAZOLE, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding as it may harm the baby. DILOXANIDE+TINIDAZOLE should be used with caution in kidney diseases, liver diseases, peripheral neuropathy, epilepsy, blood disorders, G-6 phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, and sexually transmitted diseases.
