Hello Doctor,

 

Is metronidazole suitable for both males and females to treat trichomoniasis, or is it recommended for one gender more than the other?

 

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

The suitability of metronidazole for treating trichomoniasis depends on the severity of your infection. Both males and females can be prescribed metronidazole, but the dosage and duration of treatment may vary based on individual factors, such as the extent of the infection. It's important to follow your healthcare provider's instructions and complete the full course of treatment to ensure the infection is fully cleared.

 

Thanks
