Uses of Tinidazole (Active Ingredient in Tiniba-300)

Tiniba-300 is an antibiotic used to treat specific vaginal infections like bacterial vaginosis and trichomoniasis, as well as certain parasitic infections such as giardiasis and amebiasis. It inhibits the growth of bacteria and parasites. However, it is not effective against viral infections like the common cold or flu.

How Tiniba-300 Works

Tiniba-300 acts as both an antiprotozoal and antibacterial agent. The nitro group in the drug is reduced by cell extracts of Trichomonas, and the resulting free nitro-radicals are responsible for its action. It also causes damage to bacterial DNA, leading to its antimicrobial effects.
