Secnidazole

Anti protozoal

Description

Secnidazole is used to treat vaginal infection (vaginosis) caused by bacteria in adult women and trichomoniasis (an infection of the sex organs in men or women caused by protozoa)

Mechanism of action

Secnidazole is selective against many anaerobic Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria as well as protozoa. Once it enters bacteria and parasites, secnidazole is activated by bacterial or parasitic enzymes to form a radical anion, thereby damaging and killing the target pathogen
