Alinia (Nitazoxanide) is a relatively new anti-parasitic specifically in the treatment of children diagnosed with Giardia or Cryptosporidium. Both are water-borne bacteria. This is a relatively safe anti-parasitic. As per the Alinia website, 7.8% of patients did experience some abdominal pain, while only 2% experienced diarrhea, 1% vomiting, and 1% headache. Recommended age is 1-11 years. Benefits: It does have a pleasant strawberry flavor, and it does not have to be taken for as long as Flagyl. The current treatment guidelines are 1 tsp. 2x/day for 3 days.
