What is Entosec (Secnidazole) used for?

Entosec (Secnidazole) is an anti-infective prescribed to treat trichomoniasis, giardiasis, amoebiasis, or bacterial vaginosis. The medication operates by destroying and preventing the reproduction of microorganisms allowing the immune system to eliminate the infection naturally. Your doctor may also prescribe it to treat other conditions that are not listed here.

How should I use Entosec (Secnidazole)?

Follow your doctor`s instructions while using Entosec (Secnidazole) to get the most effective results. It is normally taken once each day for a cycle of medicine lasting one or two weeks, but your dosage and frequency of administration will depend on your health condition and the severity of your symptoms. The tablets should be swallowed whole along with a full glass of water. Never alter the medication by chewing, crushing, or splitting them as this may destroy or change the effects of the contents. Never stop using the medicine before being told to do so as the infection may not be gone and can return stronger or more resistant to treatment. If you have any questions about the medicine, ask your pharmacist or doctor to ensure the correct application.
