Endodontic surgery (apicoectomy) is contraindicated in several situations: 1) Medically compromised patients with uncontrolled diabetes, bleeding disorders, immunocompromised states, or severe cardiovascular disease pose surgical risks, 2) Mandibular lingual molar area has high risk of lingual nerve damage and difficulty in access due to anatomical constraints, 3) Tooth close to maxillary sinus has risk of creating oro-antral communication or pushing infected material into the sinus. All these conditions make endodontic surgery inadvisable.

Nitazoxanide and furazolidone are both indicated for the treatment of giardiasis caused by Giardia lamblia.
