[Stephanie] Does the draft submission reflect a neutral point of view? If not, specify…

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)[reply]

Overall Edits:

Some sentences seemed choppy since it included ";" in them. Maybe these statements can be edited into a complete sentence without the break in the middle.

"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] "

Any drug interactions with this medication? Stephwong (talk) 20:57, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
