tinidazole and Urethritis

tinidazole has been researched along with Urethritis in 10 studies

Tinidazole: A nitroimidazole alkylating agent that is used as an antitrichomonal agent against TRICHOMONAS VAGINALIS; ENTAMOEBA HISTOLYTICA; and GIARDIA LAMBLIA infections. It also acts as an antibacterial agent for the treatment of BACTERIAL VAGINOSIS and anaerobic bacterial infections.
tinidazole : 1H-imidazole substituted at C-1 by a (2-ethylsulfonyl)ethyl group, at C-2 by a methyl group and at C-5 by a nitro group. It is used as an antiprotozoal, antibacterial agent.

Urethritis: Inflammation involving the URETHRA. Similar to CYSTITIS, clinical symptoms range from vague discomfort to painful urination (DYSURIA), urethral discharge, or both.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Men with non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU) were divided into two groups and treated with either lymecycline or tinidazole; anaerobic cultures were performed before and after treatment."3.65The possible role of anaerobic bacteria in the aetiology of non-gonococcal urethritis in men. ( Hallén, A; Rydén, AC; Schwan, A; Wallin, J, 1977)
"Therefore the possibility of trichomoniasis shoudl be taken into account not only when discharge is found in females or persistent urethritis in males, but also in other affections."1.26[Trichomoniasis. Physiopathology and therapy]. ( Walther, H, 1977)
