Antiparasitic.
Giardia is a protozoan parasite, so drugs that specifically target parasites (antiprotozoals/antiparasitics) — e.g., metronidazole, tinidazole, or nitazoxanide — are used to destroy it. Anti-inflammatories, pain relievers, and antihistamines only relieve symptoms and do not kill the parasite.
