ANS: B
The metronidazole concentration in the stomach remains low, therefore some amoebas survive. Using iodoquinol as the subsequent drug achieves high concentrations, killing the remaining amoebas.
Pentamidine, atovaquone, and nitazoxanide are indicated for treatment of diseases other than amebiasis.
