A single dose of 50 to 75 mg/kg body-weight tinidazole (Fasigyn) cured 34 of 36 children aged 4 months to 15 years (half of the children were under 5 years) of Giardia lamblia. The remaining 2 children were cured by a 2nd treatment. Tinidazole cured one patient, in whom metronidazole had failed. 6 children suffered mild side-effects of vomiting, stomach ache and anorexia.
