*Note: Our medical team must review your online consultation before approving this treatment. They will determine if the requested treatment and quantity are safe, appropriate, and effective for you.

Tinidazole is an oral antibiotic used to treat certain bacterial infections, including bacterial vaginosis (BV). BV is an infection caused by an overgrowth of harmful bacteria in the vagina. Tinidazole belongs to a group of medicines called nitroimidazoles. It works by killing the organisms that can cause infection.

Tinidazole is approved by the FDA. At SpeedyHealth, our doctors are able to prescribe Tinidazole for BV after you complete an online consultation.

Tinidazole works by interfering with the DNA of harmful microorganisms. Once it is inside the body, it causes the DNA strands to break, which stops the organism from copying its DNA or making new cells. This damage ultimately kills the bacteria or protozoa and treats the infection.

There are many benefits of using Tinidazole to treat BV:

Broad-spectrum action

Tinidazole is effective against both bacteria and protozoa. It treats a wide range of infections apart from BV, such as:

• Giardiasis (an intestinal infection caused by contaminated water or food)
• Amebiasis (a parasitic infection of the intestines or liver)
• Trichomoniasis (a sexually transmitted infection)

Rapid action

The drug is quickly absorbed in the body and begins acting on the infection soon after taking the first dose.

Convenient dosing

Tinidazole has a long half-life which means it stays active in the body for longer. This reduces the need for frequent doses, as such, the tablet only needs to be taken once daily.

Tinidazole has been proven to be effective in treating bacterial vaginosis.

In 21 clinical studies looking at how well Tinidazole works for treating BV, researchers found that Tinidazole was very effective in getting rid of the signs and symptoms of BV compared to a placebo.

The cure rate for patients treated with Tinidazole at a dose of 1g daily for 5 days was 91%.

Tinidazole is an effective option for many women suffering from BV however, it may not be suitable for everyone.

Who can take it?

Tinidazole tablets are suitable for adult women suffering from bacterial vaginosis who prefer using a tablet.
