TINIBA 500mg Tablet 10’s

TINIBA 500mg Tablet contains Tinidazole, an antibiotic and antiprotozoal agent used to treat a variety of infections caused by bacteria and parasites. It is commonly prescribed for amoebiasis, giardiasis, trichomoniasis, bacterial vaginosis, and certain anaerobic bacterial infections.
