TabletsClinical Overview
Tinidazole is a second-generation 5-nitroimidazole antimicrobial agent with a significantly longer elimination half-life (12-14 hours) than metronidazole, allowing once-daily dosing. It diffuses into microorganisms where its nitro group is reduced, creating free radicals that cause DNA strand breakage. Indicated for intestinal and hepatic amoebiasis, giardiasis, trichomoniasis, bacterial vaginosis, and prevention/treatment of postoperative anaerobic infections.

Ciprofloxacin 250mg + Tinidazole 300mg Tablets
Ciprofloxacin and Tinidazole is a broad-spectrum dual antimicrobial combination. Ciprofloxacin, a fluoroquinolone, inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, targeting aerobic Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, while tinidazole, a second-generation nitroimidazole, generates free nitro-radicals that damage protozoal and anaerobic DNA. Indicated for mixed aerobic-anaerobic bacterial and protozoal infections, including amoebiasis, giardiasis, bacterial dysentery, pelvic inflammatory disease, and dental abscesses.

Norfloxacin 400mg + Tinidazole 600mg Tablets
Norfloxacin (400mg) and Tinidazole (600mg) Tablets is a fixed-dose broad-spectrum antibacterial and antiprotozoal combination. Norfloxacin is a second-generation fluoroquinolone that inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase (topoisomerase II) and topoisomerase IV. Tinidazole is a second-generation nitroimidazole that causes DNA strand breakage in anaerobic bacteria and protozoa. Indicated for acute infectious diarrhea, amoebic dysentery (Entamoeba histolytica), mixed bacterial-protozoal enteritis, and giardiasis.
