Fasigyn (tinidazole) is a nitroimidazole antimicrobial used to treat certain protozoal infections and bacterial vaginosis. In Australia, tinidazole is used in clinical practice for conditions such as trichomoniasis, giardiasis, amoebiasis and bacterial vaginosis, in line with local prescribing guidance and the treating clinician's assessment.
Tinidazole should only be used for infections that are proven, or strongly suspected, to be caused by susceptible organisms. It does not work against viruses such as colds or flu, so do not use it for viral infections.
If you're unsure why these tablets have been prescribed, ask your doctor or pharmacist. Also keep in mind that in Australia, this medicine is only available with a doctor's prescription.
Tinidazole is used to treat trichomoniasis caused by Trichomonas vaginalis. Because trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted infection, sexual partners should be treated with the same dose at the same time to help prevent reinfection.
Tinidazole is used to treat bacterial vaginosis in non-pregnant adult women.
Tinidazole is used for giardiasis caused by Giardia duodenalis, and for intestinal amoebiasis and amoebic liver abscess caused by Entamoeba histolytica (in adults and in children aged 3 years and older).
Tinidazole may be used off-label as part of some Helicobacter pylori eradication regimens in combination with other medicines. Only use it for this purpose if it has been prescribed by a clinician.
In all of these uses, the active ingredient is tinidazole, so you may see this name often when looking for information about Fasigyn tablets.
Take tinidazole with food to help reduce stomach upset. Swallow the tablets with water (about 100 mL / about 3.4 fl oz). If you have trouble swallowing, ask your pharmacist or doctor for advice (the tablets may be crushed and mixed with syrup only if directed by a healthcare professional).
Here are some dos and don'ts for taking Fasigyn.

Don'ts
If you feel unwell while taking this medicine, even if the symptoms are not listed here, check with your Australian doctor. Some reactions can vary from person to person.
The most common side effects reported with a single 2 g dose include a metallic or bitter taste, nausea, weakness, tiredness or feeling generally unwell, stomach upset (dyspepsia, cramps or epigastric discomfort), vomiting, loss of appetite, headache, dizziness and constipation.
If you develop a severe rash, swelling, trouble breathing, or other signs of a serious allergic reaction, stop taking the medicine and seek medical help straight away.
Follow your doctor's instructions exactly. The dose depends on the condition being treated.
A dose of 4 tablets of tinidazole 500 mg taken at once equals 2 grams (2 g). When a clinician prescribes a 2 g single dose, it means taking all four 500 mg tablets at the same time (preferably with food to reduce stomach upset).
Do not take tinidazole if you have had a hypersensitivity or allergic reaction to tinidazole or other nitroimidazole derivatives.
Stop taking tinidazole and contact a clinician promptly if abnormal neurological symptoms develop (for example, numbness, tingling or seizures).
Tell your doctor about all medicines and supplements you take.
Avoid alcoholic drinks and products containing ethanol or propylene glycol during tinidazole treatment and for 3 days after the last dose, because a disulfiram-like reaction (flushing, abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting, headache) may occur. Do not take tinidazole if you have taken disulfiram within the last 2 weeks.
Do not use alcohol-containing medicines either (such as some cough syrups).
Tinidazole may increase the effect of warfarin and other coumarin anticoagulants, which can prolong prothrombin time/INR. The anticoagulant dose may need to be adjusted during treatment with tinidazole and for up to 8 days after stopping it.
Tinidazole may cause dizziness or other neurological side effects in some people. If you feel dizzy or unwell, avoid driving or operating machinery.
Do not dispose of the medicine by flushing it down the toilet. Ask a pharmacist about proper disposal.
I'm in Hobart and my tinidazole parcel was left outside during a very hot afternoon. What should I check before taking the tablets?
Check that the pack is intact, the tablets are dry and undamaged, and the label, lot number and expiry date are readable. Tinidazole should be stored at 25°C, with permitted excursions from 15°C to 30°C, protected from light and kept tightly closed.
I'm reordering from Adelaide because the last tablets suited me well. Will I receive the same manufacturer again?
We cannot guarantee that a repeat order will come from the same manufacturer. When your order arrives, verify the active ingredient, 500 mg strength, tablet dosage form, manufacturer, expiry date and lot details on the package before starting treatment.
I live in Broome and want to order tinidazole. How can I check whether delivery is available to my postcode before I pay?
Enter your Broome postcode at checkout and review the delivery options shown before completing payment. Delivery availability can vary by destination, so it cannot be confirmed here in advance.
My clinician has diagnosed me with trichomoniasis and prescribed tinidazole. Does my partner need treatment as well if they do not have symptoms?
Yes, sexual partners should be assessed and treated at the same time because trichomoniasis is often symptom-free and can be passed back and forth. Avoid sex until both partners have completed treatment and any symptoms have settled; the prescriber should confirm the appropriate regimen for each person.

I'll order again.
The tablet looked different from the pharmacy brand, but checking tinidazole reassured me.
The order for tinidazole arrived normally. It was within the expected delivery period.
After I corrected the address, support quickly confirmed the change before dispatch.
Ordering was easy.
