Secnidazole is an antibacterial medication used to treat vaginal infections caused by bacteria. It is also used to treat parasitic and bacterial infections such as amoebiasis.
Its primary function is to kill an overgrowth of bacteria in the vagina, which can lead to symptoms such as vaginal itching, foul odor, burning during urination, and vaginal discharge. Secnidazole is also used to treat trichomoniasis, a protozoal infection in both men and women.
