Table of contents:

Tindamax is an antibiotic medication used to treat sexually transmitted infection caused by bacteria and parasites, including bacterial vaginosis, trichomoniasis, giardiasis, and amebiasis. Tindamax contains an active ingredient called tinidazole. Tinidazole is a nitroimidazole antibiotic. It works by stopping the growth and spreading of these microorganisms.

Tindamax treats only certain bacterial and parasitic infections. It cannot be used for viral infections (such as common cold, flu). Using Tindamax when it is not needed can cause it to not work for future infections.

The dosage of Tindamax is determined by your medical condition and response to treatment. For children, the dosage is also based on weight.

To ensure the best possible effect, take Tindamax at evenly spaced times. To help you remember, take the tablet at the same time(s) every day.Ttake the full prescribed amount of Tindamax tablet, even if symptoms improve quickly. Stopping the medication too early may cause the infection to return.
