Generic / Salt Name Diloxanide Furoate – 500 mg per tablet (active ingredient). Dosage Form & Strength Tablet: 500 mg of Diloxanide Furoate (per tablet). Therapeutic Class Antiprotozoals / luminal amoebicide — acts on parasites within the intestinal lumen. Mechanism of Action Diloxanide remains largely in the intestinal lumen due to poor absorption. It disrupts metabolic processes of Entamoeba histolytica and similar protozoa, killing them and clearing the infection. Indications / Uses AMICLINE 500 mg is primarily used for: Intestinal amoebiasis (amoebic dysentery) — infection of the gut by Entamoeba histolytica. Asymptomatic cyst carriers — helps eliminate cysts to prevent spread of infection. AMICLINE 500 mg is an antiprotozoal medication, mainly acting in the intestines. Its main uses are: Intestinal Amoebiasis (Amoebic Dysentery) Caused by Entamoeba histolytica. Symptoms: Diarrhea, abdominal pain, sometimes mucus in stool. AMICLINE kills the protozoa residing in the gut. Asymptomatic Cyst Carriers People who carry Entamoeba histolytica cysts but do not have symptoms. Helps eliminate cysts to prevent spreading the infection to others. Other Luminal Amoebic Infections Infections confined to the intestinal lumen (not systemic or liver infection). Amicline 500 tablet (active ingredient diloxanide furoate) is used to treat intestinal infections like amoebic diarrhea (intestinal amebiasis) and parasitic worm infections, working by killing the amoebas and worms in the gut, relieving symptoms like diarrhea and cramps, and preventing further spread, especially in asymptomatic carriers. It's crucial to complete the full prescribed course to eliminate all parasites and prevent resistance. Intestinal Amebiasis: Treats infections caused by the Entamoeba histolytica parasite, often from contaminated food or water, resolving diarrhea, stomach pain, and bloating. Worm Infections: Helps eliminate various parasitic worms by killing them, allowing them to pass in stools. Asymptomatic Carriers: Used to clear the infection in people carrying the parasite without symptoms, preventing transmission. How It Works Diloxanide Furoate acts locally in the intestine. Disrupts the metabolism of amoebic protozoa → kills them → allows natural clearance via stool.
