Tinidazole is used to treat a variety of infections which can be caused by types of germs known as anaerobic bacteria and micro-organisms (protozoa). These types of organisms often cause infections in areas of the body such as the gums, the pelvic cavity, and the tummy (abdomen) because they do not need oxygen to grow and multiply. It is also prescribed before gynaecological surgery and surgery on the intestines, to prevent infection from developing. Tinidazole can be taken by people who are allergic to penicillin.
