<p><strong>Trichomoniasis</strong>: Tinidazole is indicated for the treatment of trichomoniasis caused by&nbsp;Trichomonas vaginalis. The organism should be identified by appropriate diagnostic procedures. Because trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted disease with potentially serious sequelae, partners of infected patients should be treated simultaneously in order to prevent re-infection.<br />
<br />
<strong>Giardiasis</strong>: Tinidazole is indicated for the treatment of giardiasis caused by&nbsp;Giardia&nbsp;duodenalis in both adults and pediatric patients older than three years of age. Sections or subsections omitted from the full prescribing information are not listed.<br />
<br />
<strong>Amebiasis</strong>: Tinidazole is indicated for the treatment of intestinal amebiasis and amebic liver&nbsp;abscess&nbsp;caused by&nbsp;Entamoeba histolytica&nbsp;in both adults and pediatric patients older than three years of age. It is not indicated in the treatment of&nbsp;asymptomatic&nbsp;cystpassage.<br />
<br />
<strong>Bacterial Vaginosis</strong>: Tinidazole is indicated for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis (formerly referred to as&nbsp;Haemophilus&nbsp;vaginitis, Gardnerella vaginitis, nonspecific&nbsp;vaginitis, or&nbsp;anaerobic&nbsp;vaginosis) in non-pregnant women.<br />
<br />
Other pathogens commonly associated with vulvovaginitis such as Trichomonas vaginalis, Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Candida albicans&nbsp;and&nbsp;Herpes&nbsp;simplex&nbsp;virus should be ruled out.<br />
<br />
To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of Tinidazole and other&nbsp;antibacterialdrugs, Tinidazole should be used only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria. When culture and susceptibility information are available, they should be considered in selecting or modifying antibacterial therapy. In the absence of such data, local epidemiology and susceptibility patterns may contribute to the empiric selection of therapy.</p>
