What is Fasigyn (Tinidazole) used for?

The medication operates by slowing or stopping the reproduction of bacteria cells making it easier for the immune system to control or destroy the infection. This action may also make it useful for treating bacterial infections of the abdomen, blood, skin, soft tissues, or respiratory tract. Your doctor may also prescribe this medication to be used along with others or for the treatment of other unlisted conditions, as well.
