    This document discusses antiparasitic drugs and the treatment of amebiasis. Amebiasis is caused by ingesting the cyst form of Entameba histolytica, which can survive outside the body. The cyst transforms into the trophozoite form inside the body, which reproduces and invades the large intestine and liver, potentially causing ulcers. Trophozoites then transform back into the cyst form to be excreted in feces.
