Safety and effectiveness[edit]
Side effects include flatulence, itchiness, and hives. In general, the use of diloxanide is well tolerated with minimal toxicity. Although there is no clear risk of harm when used during pregnancy, diloxanide should be avoided in the first trimester if possible.

A 13-year study conducted by the United States Center for Disease Control between 1977 and 1990 found that diloxanide furoate had a low incidence of side effects and was successful in treatment of 86% of people with Entamoeba histolytica but without symptoms.[3]
