In India, 60 children with symptomatic giardiasis diagnosed by stool examination were treated with a single dose of 50 mg/kg body-weight of either tinidazole or metronidazole. Tinidazole was significantly more effective than metronidazole with respect to parasitological cure rates (97% compared to 50%) and to relief of clinical symptoms. Both drugs were well tolerated.
