Etofamide is a luminal amoebicide acting principally on the bowel lumen with actions and uses similar to diloxanide furoate. Adverse drug reactions might include flatulence, vomiting, urticaria, pruritis. 100 patients suffering chronic intestinal amebiasis were treated with Etofamide, in a dose of 1,0 g per day, for three consecutive days. The tolerance of this antiamebic drug was excellent in all patients, and the parasitological cure rate obtained was 92%.
