Study of Nitazoxanide in Adults With Acute Uncomplicated Influenza

Summary

This is a randomized clinical trial designed to evaluate oral nitazoxanide compared to a placebo in the treatment of acute uncomplicated influenza in adults. We hypothesize that treatment with nitazoxanide will reduce the duration of symptoms in patients with confirmed influenza infection. Secondarily, we hypothesize that treatment with nitazoxanide will reduce the complications of influenza, severity of symptoms, time lost from work, time to return to normal daily activities, and viral shedding.
