Tinidazole (Generic Tindamax)
What is Tinidazole?
Tinidazole is an antibiotic that belongs to the nitroimidazole antimicrobials class of medication.
It is mostly recognized for its antiprotozoal and antibacterial properties and is used to treat various types of infections caused by bacteria and protozoa.
Generic brand names for tinidazole include Tindamax, Fasigyn, and Simplotan.
What is Tinidazole used for?
Tinidazole is used to treat specific bacterial and protozoal infections. This antibiotic is mainly used to treat bacterial infections such as trichomoniasis, giardiasis, and amebiasis. It may also be prescribed to treat anaerobic infections like abscesses and bacterial vaginosis.
Primary uses:
- Trichomoniasis: It’s prescribed for the treatment of trichomoniasis, a sexually transmitted infection caused by the protozoan parasite Trichomonas vaginalis.
- Giardiasis: Tinidazole is used to treat infections caused by the protozoan parasite Giardia lamblia, a common cause of waterborne diarrheal disease.
- Amebiasis: It’s effective against infections caused by the protozoan Entamoeba histolytica, which includes both intestinal amebiasis and amebic liver abscess.
- Bacterial vaginosis: This is a condition where there’s an imbalance in the types of bacteria in the vagina, often with an overgrowth of harmful bacteria. Tinidazole can be prescribed to treat bacterial vaginosis, mostly in cases where other treatments may not have been effective.
It may also be utilized for other purposes not listed in the list above. Also, it can be used as a therapeutic alternative in the setting of metronidazole intolerance.
How does Tinidazole work?
Tinidazole kills certain bacteria and protozoa by damaging their DNA, preventing them from reproducing and ultimately causing their death.

Follow the instructions provided by your doctor and always read the patient information leaflet.
The dosage and duration of treatment will depend on the type and severity of your infection, as well as other factors like your age, medical history, and weight.
Overall, you should take this antibiotic with food to avoid an upset stomach. You should also take it with a full glass of water, also remember to take your medicine at regular intervals.
