Having Side Effects with Trichomoniasis Treatment?


Some women are having side effects with trichomoniasis treatment because they are overly sensitive to the two standard drugs used - metronidazole and tinidazole.



Metronidazole side effects

A study of 59 women revealed that the two most common symptoms were itching (urticaria) and swelling of the face (facial edema.)1

Doctors can treat this metronidazole hypersensitivity quite successfully. Fifteen women were treated to desensitize them and the treatment got rid of the trich in all cases. Compare this against the seventeen women who were treated with alternative vaginal treatments and in those cases only five of the infections were successfully treated.1

The doctors concluded that "metronidazole desensitization was effective in the management of women with nitroimidazole hypersensitivity."1

So if you're having a bad reaction to trich treatment, talk to your doctor about this desensitization program.
