For Amebiasis "Tinidazole was found effective in my treatment for an intestinal infection I had used metronidazole for. I started having proper bowel movement and can visit the bathroom regularly as opposed to my prior treatment."

For Trichomoniasis "I got prescribed 2g a day for 7 days for Trich. I knew that I couldn’t handle Flagyl due to trying it before for a stomach infection, so I know I needed something different. Tinidazole, I take it on a full stomach, and the only side effects were insomnia, headache, restless leg syndrome, and an awful taste in the mouth. I never had symptoms and caught Trich from a road trip from using pubic areas. Yes, I know it is sexually transmitted, but you can also get it from toilet seats, wet towels, poorly treated pools/tubs. I’m 100% sure mine wasn’t transmitted sexually."

For Bacterial Vaginosis "I used to take 2 pills as a single dosage. It made me nauseous, and it made anything I ate or drank taste horrible. I was taking this pill for bacterial vaginitis, and 2 days later I had a yeast infection! Worse and even frightening that the mild itch I was having, accompanied with stomach ache and cramps."

For Bacterial Vaginosis "I just finished my 2nd/final day of taking tinidazole. Both times, I took all 4 pills with a big meal to try and avoid side effects. The only thing I experienced was a sour taste in my mouth when taking the pills and a really bad headache. I was worried about any gastrointestinal side effects and that didn’t happen! It also seemed to help my BV after day 1. I did not drink any alcohol during my days taking it because I'm scared of the risks lol. I’d definitely recommend this because it’s such a short amount of time of taking it and it works pretty much immediately! Don’t be scared of what you read online because realistically it probably won’t happen to you."

For Bacterial Vaginosis "I had my appointment on Monday at 4 p.m. Was diagnosed with BV and was prescribed 500 mg pills to take twice a day for 5 days. I took one that evening. On Tuesday evening (after 2 pills) I had a headache and metallic taste. I took the 3rd pill that night. This morning I woke up with heartburn and still a headache. Now I'm on pill 4 and my vagina is itchy and I'm sleepy. I'm going to take a Zyrtec."

For Bacterial Vaginosis "For me, tinidazole is really bad. Other than the stated symptoms, my lips totally become so infected, like I had an allergy. They are swollen and feel injured. So gross and painful. Can't even take more than one tablet. But very effective."

For Bacterial Vaginosis "I'm 28 weeks pregnant, and my doctor did a Pap smear on me, saying that I had a bacterial infection, so she prescribed me tinidazole, and she told me to take 4 pills the first day and take 4 pills the next day. So I did, and I was feeling something was wrong, my baby wasn't moving that much. Then the next day, I started throwing up a lot. I was wondering how I can stop throwing up."

For Bacterial Vaginosis "I haven’t actually taken this yet, they prescribed it when I tested positive for trich, and I have been too afraid to take it. I tried clearing it with organic cranberry, which worked for a while, but symptoms came back months later. Here I am today and just got rechecked and prescribed this again, and I’m just deathly afraid because I’m only 100 pounds and I’ve never taken thousands of milligrams of anything before!"
