Nitazoxanide is a biosynthetic antigen for oral administration. The antigenic activity of nitazoxanide is thought to interfere with the enzyme Pyruvate Ferredoxin Oxido Reductase (PFOR)-dependent electron transfer reaction. This reaction is essential for protozoa anaerobic energy metabolism. Nitazoxanide and its metabolite, tizoxanide, act in vitro to inhibit the growth of spores and oocytes of Cryptosporidium parvum and the nutrients of Giardia lamblia.

Known hypersensitivity to Nitazoxanide or any other ingredient in the formulations.
Nitazoxanide is generally well tolerated. However abdominal pain, diarrhoea, vomiting and headache have been reported rarely.
The US FDA pregnancy drug category for nitazoxanide is B. However, there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Since animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human response, this medicine should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed. Nitazoxanide has been shown to be excreted in human milk. Therefore, caution should be exercised when nitazoxanide is used during lactation.
Nitazoxanide should be administrated with caution to patients with hepatic, renal and biliary disease.
