Tinidazole is a nitroimidazole antibiotic, supplied as 500 mg tablets for oral use. Its active ingredient, tinidazole, treats giardiasis, trichomoniasis and anaerobic bacterial infections. The originator brand is Fasigyn, from Pfizer.
Within susceptible organisms it breaks DNA strands and blocks further DNA synthesis, clearing the infection. Effects start within about 2 hours and last 12 to 24 hours. It is not for people with hypersensitivity to nitroimidazoles or with neurological disorders, and peripheral neuropathy needs monitoring. Alcohol, including alcohol in medicines and propylene glycol, must be avoided during treatment and for 3 days afterwards: the combination can bring on flushing, sweating, headache, vomiting and abdominal cramps (MedlinePlus).
