 * Yes, your group did a good job of showing a neutral point of view throughout the sections.
 * The phrasing "second line treatment (paromomycin is preferred)" was used often and it would be nice to see "Paromomycin is considered first line treatment while diloxanide is used as a second line when symptoms occur. (or phrasing similar to that). Stephwong (talk) 06:58, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Overall Edits: "90% of each dose is excreted in the urine; the other 10% is excreted in the feces.[8]" "Dloxanide furoate works only in the digestive tract; it is a lumenal amebicide.[1][3] "
