• The most effective agents for therapy of giardiasis are single doses of tinidazole or ornidazole, 5 to 7 days of quinacrine, and 5 to 7 days of metronidazole.
• Therefore, the treatment of choice in the United States for both adults and children is metronidazole.
• A standard course of 5 to 7 days should effectively treat 90% or more of infected individuals.
• Furazolidone is an effective alternative but requires 7 to 10 days of treatment four times a day, which will probably affect compliance.
• Of the newer therapeutics, albendazole in a 5-day regimen seems most promising, but additional studies are needed.
• It can be expected that parasites will be cleared from the stool in 3 to 5 days and that symptoms will resolve in 5 to 7 days.
