General Info:

Tinidazole is a second generation synthetic nitroimidazole. Tinidazole is prescribed to treat infections caused by different parasites:

Trichomoniasis, a common sexually transmitted disease that affects men and women. It can contribute to reduced fertility in both sexes and may enhance the acquisition and transmission of HIV. Trichomoniasis has also been linked to cervical cancer, preterm birth, and postoperative infection.

Giardiasis, an intestinal infection caused by drinking untreated water. Symptoms include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, cramping, bloating, and weight loss.

Intestinal amebiasis (commonly known as dysentery), an infection caused by consuming contaminated water or food. Symptoms may include loose stools, stomach pain, and cramping. In more severe cases, symptoms can include severe stomach pain, weight loss, bloody stools, and fever.

Amebic liver abscess, a severe and potentially life-threatening infection caused by the same parasite that causes intestinal amebiasis.

Tinidazole is chemically similar to Metronidazole.

Tinidazole is sold under the brand names: Tindamax, Fasigyn.
