“Physicians play an important role in educating their patients about the disease, symptoms and the benefits of Humatin, which is why we work with them to help maximize the therapeutic opportunity for treating intestinal amebiasis,” says Donovan Quill, president and CEO, Optime Care. “For the patients, our dedicated Humatin Total Care coordinator works with insurance companies to verify coverage and reimbursement benefits, provide access to financial assistance and arrange drug delivery.”

People become infected with intestinal amebiasis by ingesting contaminated food or water, or cysts (eggs) through contact with fecal matter of a person infected with the protozoan. Of those infected, approximately 10-20% become sick.

Intestinal amebiasis is a parasitic infection of the intestines caused by a protozoan E. histolytica that can affect anyone, although it is more common in people who live in or who have traveled to tropical areas with poor sanitary conditions. Symptoms include loose stool, stomach pain and abdominal cramping, which usually develop within 2-4 weeks and are generally mild.

Quill concludes, “Humatin Total Care exemplifies how our patient-first focus helps every stakeholder group impacted by this disease.”
