See above post - my son was just put on Alinia .. is that similar ?

I hope you feel better soon.  We don't have confirmed lab stools back yet, but they started him on his 2 weeks' worth of severe symptoms not getting better.

Metronidazole is the antimicrobial agent most commonly used in the treatment of giardiasis in the United States. But I believe Tindamax may also be used.
