Thank you for the question. If your doctor has prescribed, it may be necessary as solely Metronidazole only may not remove Giardia sometime.

metronidazole alone is effective in 85% of cases. Sometimes physician add another drug to eradicate giardia. Usually only one drug is prescribed and if the symptoms are clear, no need to add another one. Thanks for the querry!
