Metronidazole for Trichomoniasis

Metronidazole is an antimicrobial medication used to treat infections caused by certain parasites and harmful bacteria. On this page, the focus is metronidazole for trichomoniasis (sometimes called “trich”). Trichomoniasis is a parasitic infection that can spread from person to person through sexual contact.

Flagyl is a well-known brand-name version of metronidazole. Your provider may prescribe the generic form or issue a Flagyl prescription based on your medical history and what is appropriate for your symptoms.

Metronidazole may be used for:

• Trichomoniasis

• Bacterial vaginosis

• Certain gastrointestinal tract infections

• A wide variety of infections caused by susceptible organisms

Metronidazole does not treat viral infections. If your signs and symptoms may be caused by another sexually transmitted infection, a respiratory tract infection, a skin infection, a bacterial infection, or another condition, your provider may recommend testing, in-person care, or a different prescription medication.

Metronidazole is an antibiotic in the nitroimidazole class, effective against various bacterial and parasitic infections. It stops the growth of microorganisms, making it a crucial treatment for conditions like Trichomoniasis.
