Choosing and using these medicines

The active ingredient and listed uses separate one product from another. A medicine for one parasitic condition is not interchangeable with a product that has a different listed use. Side effects and interactions belong to the individual medicine, so check that product’s information before use. A product is not intended for a condition that is absent from its listed uses.
