Nitazoxanide Pharmacokinetics and Tolerability: A Phase IB Study

This study investigated the pharmacokinetics and tolerability of nitazoxanide (N), a broad-spectrum intestinal antiparasitic agent. The study involved a Phase IB clinical trial in healthy volunteers, where N was administered for 7 days at two different dosages. The study found that N was well-tolerated and that the major circulating metabolites, deacetyl-N (tizoxanide) and its glucuronide, exhibited predictable pharmacokinetic profiles.

Navigating the Desert of Parasitic Infections: A Pharmacokinetic Journey
