Treatment for Chagas’ Disease
There are currently two drugs, nifurtimox and benznidazole which may be helpful in the acute stages of the infection. Both medications, however, have serious side effects limiting their use. Once the disease progresses to the chronic stage there is no known treatment.

I had my dog tested for Chagas and found out he is positive with Chagas.
Is there any treatment for dogs ? He is 3 years old and looks normal and shows no signs of being sick. Our female just died of Chagas and she was 20 months old and had an enlarged heart.
