Tinidazole is available in oral tablet form (250 mg, 500 mg).

The typical starting dose of tinidazole varies depending on the type of infection being treated, the severity of the infection, and individual patient factors. It is crucial to follow your healthcare provider's instructions regarding dosage and administration.

For the treatment of bacterial infections, the typical starting doses may be:

• 2 g (2000 mg) taken orally as a single dose for certain infections.
  
  

For other infections or conditions, your healthcare provider will determine the most appropriate dose and duration of treatment based on your medical history, current medications, and response to the medication.

Tinidazole should be taken exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Do not exceed the recommended dose or duration of treatment without consulting your provider.

If you have any questions about your dosage, contact your healthcare provider. If you want to talk to a provider right away, book an online doctor appointment on Sesame to discuss your concerns.

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember it. If it's almost time for another dose of tinidazole, skip the missed dose and take your next dose as scheduled. Do not take or apply a double dose of tinidazole.

Do not discontinue or alter your tinidazole dosage without consulting with your healthcare provider. Follow your healthcare provider's instructions regarding dosing and other recommendations for taking tinidazole.

Store tinidazole as directed by your healthcare provider or pharmacist. Proper storage is essential to maintain the medication's effectiveness. Tinidazole should be stored at room temperature, away from excessive heat, light, and moisture.

Keep the medication out of the reach of children and ensure that the container is tightly closed.
