Trichomoniasis can be treated with one large dose (megadose) of either metronidazole (Flagyl), tinidazole (Tindamax) or secnidazole (Solosec). Either Men or Women can take this regimen. Different doctors have different regimens that they are comfortable with. there is no evidence that one is better than the other.
