In Asymptomatic intestinal infection treatment with metronidazol iodoquinol, paromomycin, or diloxanide furoate is required. More severe cases of amebic dysentery are treated by replacing lost fluid and blood. For hepatic abscess patient may use metronidazole and tinidazole. Intravenous therapy may be useful when the patient is vomiting and medications can’t be tolerated by mouth. Oral antiparasitic medication is also useful treatment for amebiasis.
