Tindamax contains the active ingredient tinidazole. It is a prescription antimicrobial medication used to treat certain infections caused by bacteria and parasites.
Tindamax is used to treat bacterial vaginosis in adult women.
Bacterial vaginosis occurs when the normal balance of bacteria in the vagina changes and certain bacteria grow excessively.
Symptoms may include unusual vaginal discharge, odor, or irritation, although some people may have no noticeable symptoms.
Tindamax is also used to treat trichomoniasis, a sexually transmitted infection caused by the parasite Trichomonas vaginalis.
Because trichomoniasis can be passed between sexual partners, partners are generally treated at the same time to help prevent reinfection.
Tindamax may be used to treat giardiasis, an intestinal infection caused by the parasite Giardia duodenalis, also called Giardia lamblia.
Giardiasis can cause symptoms such as diarrhea, stomach cramps, bloating, nausea, and fatigue.
Tinidazole is approved for this infection in adults and children older than 3 years.
Tindamax is also used to treat amebiasis caused by the parasite Entamoeba histolytica.
It may be used for:
Tinidazole is approved for these infections in adults and children older than 3 years.
It is not intended to treat people who are simply passing E. histolytica cysts without symptoms.
Tindamax belongs to a group of medications called nitroimidazole antimicrobials.
After tinidazole enters susceptible bacteria or parasites, it is converted into active compounds that damage their DNA.
This interferes with the organism’s ability to reproduce and survive, helping the body clear the infection.
Tindamax works against specific bacteria and parasites.
It does not treat viral infections such as the common cold or influenza.
It should only be used for infections that are known or strongly suspected to respond to tinidazole.
Tindamax is taken by mouth as a tablet.
Take each dose with food to help reduce stomach upset. Swallow the tablet with water and take it exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
The dose and length of treatment depend on the infection being treated, your age, and, for children, body weight.
For adults with trichomoniasis:
Recommended dose: 2 grams taken as a single dose with food.
Sexual partners should usually be treated at the same time to help prevent reinfection.
For adults with giardiasis:
Recommended dose: 2 grams taken as a single dose with food.
For children older than 3 years, the dose is based on body weight:
50 mg/kg as a single dose, up to a maximum of 2 grams.
For adults with intestinal amebiasis:
Recommended dose: 2 grams once daily for 3 days, taken with food.
For children older than 3 years:
50 mg/kg once daily for 3 days, up to a maximum of 2 grams per day.
For adults with an amebic liver abscess:
Recommended dose: 2 grams once daily for 3 to 5 days, taken with food.
For children older than 3 years:
50 mg/kg once daily for 3 to 5 days, up to a maximum of 2 grams per day.
For non-pregnant adult women with bacterial vaginosis, the recommended treatment may be either:
Take each dose with food.
If you are prescribed Tindamax for several days, take it at about the same time each day.
Continue treatment for the full prescribed period even if your symptoms improve before the medication is finished.
Stopping treatment too early may allow the infection to return or may make it harder to treat.
If you are taking Tindamax for several days and miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for your next scheduled dose.
If your next dose is approaching, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule.
Do not take two doses at the same time to make up for a missed dose.
If you miss a single-dose treatment, contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist for instructions.
Do not take more Tindamax, take it more frequently, or continue treatment longer than prescribed.
Contact your healthcare provider if your symptoms do not improve, become worse, or return after treatment.
Tindamax (Tinidazole) is available in the following forms and strength:
Tindamax carries a boxed warning about a potential risk of carcinogenicity.
Cancer has been seen in animals treated for long periods with other nitroimidazole drugs that are chemically related to tinidazole. Similar long-term cancer studies have not shown that tinidazole itself causes cancer.
Because of this potential risk, Tindamax should be used only for approved infections and chronic or unnecessary use should be avoided.
Tindamax can rarely cause serious nervous-system problems.
These may include:
Peripheral neuropathy and seizures have been reported during treatment.
Stop taking Tindamax and contact your healthcare provider promptly if you develop new numbness, tingling, weakness, seizures, or other unusual neurological symptoms.
Dizziness and headache can occur while taking Tindamax.
Avoid driving, operating machinery, or doing other activities that require full alertness until you know how the medication affects you.
Tinidazole can temporarily lower certain white blood cells, including leukocytes and neutrophils.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have a history of blood disorders.
If you require repeated courses of treatment, your healthcare provider may check your blood cell counts.
Do not drink alcohol or use products containing alcohol or propylene glycol while taking Tindamax and for 3 days after your last dose.
Combining tinidazole with alcohol may cause an unpleasant reaction that can include:
Wait at least 72 hours after your final dose before drinking alcohol.
Tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
Available human data are not sufficient to determine whether tinidazole increases the risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or other pregnancy problems.
Your healthcare provider will consider the benefits of treating the infection and any potential risks before prescribing Tindamax during pregnancy.
Breastfeeding is not recommended while taking Tindamax.
Tinidazole can pass into breast milk.
Breastfeeding should be stopped during treatment and for 72 hours after the last dose.
A dose adjustment is generally not required solely because of severe kidney impairment, because tinidazole levels are not significantly changed in these patients.
However, hemodialysis removes a significant amount of tinidazole from the body. If Tindamax is taken before dialysis on the same day, an additional dose may be needed afterward.
Follow the specific dosing instructions given by your healthcare provider if you receive dialysis.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have liver disease.
There is limited information about the use of tinidazole in people with impaired liver function, so the usual dose should be used cautiously in these patients.
Tindamax can interact with several medications.
Important examples include:
Warfarin’s blood-thinning effect may be increased, so closer monitoring and a dose adjustment may be needed during treatment and for several days afterward.
Tell your healthcare provider about all prescription medications, over-the-counter products, vitamins, supplements, and herbal products you take.
Do not take Tindamax if you have had a serious allergic reaction to tinidazole or another nitroimidazole medication.
Seek immediate medical attention if you develop:
Serious hypersensitivity reactions have been reported.
Diarrhea can occur while taking Tindamax.
Contact your healthcare provider if diarrhea becomes severe, persistent, bloody, or is accompanied by significant abdominal pain or fever.
Do not stop treatment on your own unless your healthcare provider tells you to, except when urgent medical attention is needed.
Take Tindamax only for the infection and length of time prescribed.
Using antimicrobial medications when they are not needed may increase the risk of side effects and contribute to antimicrobial resistance.
If you are taking Tindamax for several days and miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take two doses at the same time to make up for a missed dose. If your treatment was prescribed as a single dose and you miss it, contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist for instructions.
How quickly Tindamax works depends on the infection being treated. Some people may begin to feel better within a few days, while others may need more time for symptoms to improve. Even if you start feeling better, complete the full treatment course exactly as prescribed.
Yes. Tindamax can sometimes change the normal balance of microorganisms in the body, which may allow yeast to overgrow. This can lead to a vaginal yeast infection in some people. Symptoms may include itching, irritation, redness, or a thick vaginal discharge. Contact your healthcare provider if you develop symptoms of a yeast infection during or after treatment.
Yes. Tindamax should be taken with food. Taking it with food can help reduce stomach-related side effects such as nausea or abdominal discomfort.
Tindamax is approved to treat specific infections, including bacterial vaginosis, trichomoniasis, giardiasis, intestinal amebiasis, and amebic liver abscess. A healthcare provider may sometimes prescribe tinidazole for other infections when they determine that it is appropriate. Do not use Tindamax for an infection unless it has been prescribed for that specific condition.
