About Dizet suspension 250mg / 200mg

Dizet Suspension Uses

• Intestinal amoebiasis
• Amoebic cyst carriage
• Amoebic dysentery
• Giardiasis

Dizet Suspension Benefits

• Clears active infection and cysts together
• Lowers relapse risk versus single agent therapy
• Suits children who cannot swallow tablets

Doctors across Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad and Rawalpindi prescribe Dizet suspension for amoebic infections linked to contaminated water.

Metronidazole kills active amoebae, while diloxanide furoate clears the cyst form left in the intestine.

Complete the full course even after symptoms improve, since stopping early lets the infection return.
