What is Tinicide 300 mg
Tinicide 300 mg Tablet is an antibiotic medicine used to treat bacterial and parasitic infections. It is manufactured by Blue Cross Laboratories Ltd in WHO-GMP-certified facilities. It contains 300 mg of Tinidazole, which is FDA-approved for the treatment of Trichomoniasis, Bacterial Vaginosis, Giardiasis, and Amebiasis.
Tinidazole belongs to the Nitroimidazole antimicrobial drug class. It kills susceptible organisms by damaging their DNA and stopping them from surviving. It is therefore effective against several anaerobic bacteria and protozoa that cause intestinal, vaginal, and urogenital infections.
Tinicide Tablet is to be swallowed after meals, either as a single dose or once daily for 3-5 days. For children over 3 years of age, body-weight dosing is advised under pediatric supervision. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible. But skip it if it is almost time for the next one.
Common side effects of Tinidazole tablets include a bitter taste, nausea, poor appetite and stomach cramps. These are mild and resolve on their own. Alcohol and propylene glycol products must be avoided during and 3 days after treatment as they can worsen your symptoms. Seek urgent medical help if seizures, swelling or numbness in hands or feet, or breathing difficulty develop.
Tinicide 300 mg Tablet should be avoided in patients with severe kidney disease, seizures, nervous system or blood disorders, and Cockayne Syndrome (a rare neurodegenerative disorder). Breastfeeding is not recommended during treatment and for 3 days after the last dose. Discuss alternatives with your doctor if you are allergic to Tinidazole, pregnant or planning to conceive. Store these tablets at room temperature, protected from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
