How is cyclosporiasis managed or treated?

Cyclosporiasis may be treated with an antibiotic when necessary. Trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, also called TMP/SMX (Bactrim®, Septra®, or Cotrim®) is the most commonly used treatment. The doctor may also recommend an anti-diarrheal medication, rest and fluids.

In many cases, people who have healthy immune systems will get better on their own, and do not need treatment.
