Frequently asked questions about tinidazole

Tinidazole is a prescription antimicrobial drug which is used to treat infections caused by protozoa (tiny single-celled organisms), such as trichomoniasis, bacterial vaginosis, giardiasis, and amebiasis. It can also be used to treat urinary tract infections (UTIs).

Tinidazole is currently available under the brand name Tindamax. It can come in the form of a tablet or a solution that is prepared by your pharmacist.

Tinidazole is used to treat infections including trichomoniasis (one of the most common curable sexually transmitted diseases), bacterial vaginosis (a common vaginal condition caused by bacterial overgrowth and imbalance), giardiasis (a gastrointestinal infection), and amebiasis (a gastrointestinal infection that can spread to other organs). It can also be prescribed to treat urinary tract infections (UTIs).

It is important to only use medicines like tinidazole when prescribed, as taking medicines when they are not needed can be harmful in the long run.

Tinidazole is in a class of medications called antiprotozoals. Antiprotozoals work by damaging the DNA of protozoa (tiny, single-celled organisms). Certain parasitic protozoa are the cause of infections such as trichomoniasis and giardiasis, and antiprotozoals like tinidazole are able to limit the spread of infections by stopping the protozoa’s growth.

Some of the common side effects of tinidazole include a metallic taste in the mouth, headache, decreased appetite, and gastrointestinal issues such as stomach cramps, vomiting or nausea, gas, diarrhea, and constipation.

This is not a complete list of adverse effects – though these are among the most common. Seek medical attention right away if you experience symptoms such as:

  • Seizures
  • Numbness or tingling of hands or feet
  • Rash
  • Hives
  • Swelling of the face, throat, tongue, lips, eyes, hands, feet, ankles, or lower legs
  • Hoarseness
  • Difficulty swallowing or breathing

As with all prescription medication, be sure to inform the prescribing doctor about any medical conditions you have been previously diagnosed with and any medication/ supplements you are currently taking before starting treatment with tinidazole. Tinidazole can interact with other forms of medication and substances, causing potentially serious side effects.

In addition, let your doctor know if you are pregnant or plan on becoming pregnant before starting treatment with this medication, and do not breastfeed while you are taking tinidazole and for 3 days after you finish your treatment.

Tinidazole comes in the form of a tablet or a liquid solution to be taken orally. Although usage will vary depending on the age of the patient and their body weight, it is usually taken with food as a single dose or once a day for 2 to 5 days. If you are taking the solution, be sure to the liquid to ensure that the medication is well-mixed. Take the medication exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Do not discontinue or increase your dosage of tinidazole without consulting with your provider first. If you begin to experience adverse side effects while taking this medication, like those listed above, inform your provider right away.

Tinidazole should be stored in a closed container at room temperature, away from extreme heat, extreme cold, moisture, and direct light, and keep it out of the reach of children.

Tinidazole is currently only available via prescription. This means the use of this drug must be authorized by a licensed health care provider.
