Understanding Tinidazole: Uses and Dosage

Tinidazole treats bacterial vaginosis, giardiasis, and amebiasis. Your doctor determines the appropriate dosage based on your specific infection and health.

For bacterial vaginosis, a single 2-gram dose is often sufficient. Giardiasis usually requires a 2-gram dose once or twice, taken at 12-hour intervals. Amebiasis treatment varies; consult your physician for the precise regimen.

Always follow your doctor’s instructions precisely. Take medication with food to minimize stomach upset. Complete the full course of treatment, even if symptoms improve before finishing the prescribed medication. This prevents relapse and ensures complete eradication of the infection.

Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Report any severe or persistent side effects to your doctor immediately. Do not use Tinidazole if you’re allergic to it or pregnant/breastfeeding without consulting your doctor.
