Other antiprotozoal drugs - what does this mean

Other antiprotozoal drugs are medications used to treat protozoan infections, which are caused by single-celled organisms such as amoebas, giardia, and trichomonas. these drugs work by disrupting the protozoan's metabolism, preventing it from replicating and spreading throughout the body.

What happens during the disease - other antiprotozoal drugs

Other antiprotozoal drugs are used to treat infections caused by protozoa, which are single-celled organisms. these drugs work by interfering with the protozoa’s ability to multiply and spread throughout the body. they may also target specific metabolic pathways of the protozoa, such as inhibiting the formation of its cell wall, or interfering with its ability to take up nutrients. in some cases, they may even directly kill the protozoa.
