Tinidazole is an antibiotic used to treat certain types of bacterial and parasitic infections. It belongs to the nitroimidazole class of antibiotics and works by disrupting the DNA of the microorganisms, leading to their death. It is effective against protozoa such as Trichomonas vaginalis, Entamoeba histolytica, and Giardia lamblia, as well as anaerobic bacteria like Bacteroides fragilis.
Used to treat bacterial and parasitic infections such as trichomoniasis, giardiasis, amebiasis, and bacterial vaginosis.
