Tinidazole is generally taken as a single dose, but your doctor might prescribe a longer course depending on your infection. Always follow your doctor’s instructions precisely.
Dosage and Administration
The specific dosage varies depending on the infection being treated and your individual health. Never adjust your dosage without consulting your doctor. They will determine the right amount for your needs.
Side Effects
Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Less common, but more serious, side effects can include allergic reactions. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience a severe allergic reaction, such as difficulty breathing or swelling of your face, lips, or tongue.
Drug Interactions
Tinidazole can interact with certain medications, including warfarin (a blood thinner). Inform your doctor about all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements, before starting tinidazole treatment.
Alcohol Consumption
Avoid alcohol consumption while taking tinidazole and for at least three days after completing your treatment. Combining tinidazole with alcohol can cause severe nausea and vomiting.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
Consult your doctor before taking tinidazole if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant. Tinidazole may not be suitable during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Store tinidazole at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep it out of reach of children.
