Fasigyn (tinidazole) is a nitroimidazole antimicrobial used to treat certain protozoal infections and bacterial vaginosis. In Canada, tinidazole is used in clinical practice for infections such as trichomoniasis, giardiasis, amebiasis, and bacterial vaginosis, depending on the prescribing context and patient factors.
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 the flu, so it should not be used for viral infections.
If it seems unusual that a specialist in Canada has prescribed these tablets, don't hesitate to ask questions. Also keep in mind that in Canada, this medicine is only available with a doctor's prescription.
Tinidazole is indicated for the treatment of 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 re-infection.
Tinidazole is indicated for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis in non-pregnant adult women.
Tinidazole is indicated for giardiasis caused by Giardia duodenalis and for intestinal amebiasis and amebic liver abscess caused by Entamoeba histolytica (in adults and in children age 3 and older).
Tinidazole may be used off-label as part of some Helicobacter pylori eradication regimens in combination with other medications. Use it only if a clinician has prescribed it for this purpose.
In all of these uses, the active ingredient is tinidazole, so you may often see this name 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 a healthcare professional tells you to do so.
Here are some do's and don'ts for taking Fasigyn.

If you have any discomfort while taking this medicine, even if it is not listed here, check with your 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, fatigue or malaise, 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 get medical help right away.
Follow your doctor's prescription 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 help 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 you develop unusual neurologic signs such as numbness, tingling, or seizures.
Tell your doctor about all medications and supplements you take.
Avoid alcoholic beverages and products containing ethanol or propylene glycol during tinidazole treatment and for 3 days after the last dose because a disulfiram-like reaction may occur. This can include flushing, abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting, and headache. Do not take tinidazole if you have taken disulfiram within the last 2 weeks.
Do not take medications that contain alcohol 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 while taking tinidazole together and for up to 8 days after stopping it.
Tinidazole may cause dizziness or other neurologic side effects in some people. If you feel dizzy or unwell, avoid driving or operating machinery.
Do not dispose of the medication by flushing it down the toilet. Ask a pharmacist about proper disposal.
I'm in Saskatoon, and my tinidazole parcel arrived after several very cold days. What should I check before I start the tablets?
Check that the outer package and container are intact, dry, and properly labelled, and that the tablets are not cracked, wet, discoloured, or otherwise unusual. The labelled storage range is 15°C to 30°C.
I live in Yellowknife and travel out of town for pharmacy errands. How can I find out whether you can ship tinidazole to my address before I order?
Enter your complete Yellowknife address and postal code at checkout. The shipping options shown there will confirm whether the order can be sent to your address before payment.
I'm ordering from Vancouver. Can I use my postal code to check shipping availability before I pay?
Yes. Enter your postal code and delivery address at checkout to see the available shipping options before completing payment. Availability is determined for the address entered.
I finished taking disulfiram about 10 days ago and have now been prescribed tinidazole. Is that combination a concern?
Yes. Tinidazole should not be taken during disulfiram treatment or within 2 weeks of stopping it because the combination can cause confusion or psychotic reactions. Contact the prescriber or pharmacist before starting tinidazole so the treatment timing can be reviewed.

I'd order again.
The order for tinidazole was lost in transit, but after I reported it, the store checked and refunded me.
I needed to add my apartment number to the order for tinidazole. Support updated it before dispatch, and it worked out well.
