Amicline 500mg Tablet (Diloxanide)

This medicine is usually prescribed for conditions such as:

• Intestinal amoebiasis
• Amoebic infection of the bowel
• Asymptomatic amoebic infection in the intestine
• Persistent intestinal infection caused by amoeba after initial treatment, when advised by a doctor

Current medicine references describe it as a luminal amebicide used for intestinal amoebiasis. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

This medicine works inside the intestine where it acts against amoebic organisms living in the bowel. By damaging the infection-causing amoeba and stopping its survival in the intestine, it helps clear the infection and reduce the chance of continued spread inside the gut. Its role as a luminal anti-amoebic agent is reflected in current drug references. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
