Fifty patients stricken by giardiosis were treated by a single dose administration of Tinidazole -- 50 mg./kg. for children and 2 g. for adults per os. Fifteen days after treatment, 84 0/0 of the patients had negative coprologic exams for giardiosis. The product was well-tolerated by the digestive tract as was demonstrated by a coprologic examination for digested food reside; however, minor digestive inconveniences were noted in 87 0/0 of the patients. There were no perturbations of hematologic or hepatic tests. This product would thus appear to be a treatment of choice in the management of giardiosis.
