How Safe Is Taking Ercefuryl For Ameoba In Stool?
Use of ercefuryl for amoeba - I've been diagnosed to have some trace of amoeba in my stool. Was perscribed a sulfamide (which I'm allergic to so haven't taken) then the chemist gave me ercefuryl instead. Is it effective on ameobas? What are the side effects & contracindications?
