About TINVISTA 300MG TABLET

TINVISTA 300MG TABLET belongs to a class of antibacterial medications called 'nitroimidazoles', which kill infection-causing germs, mainly protozoans & bacteria. TINVISTA 300MG TABLET is used to cure certain infections caused by microbes, especially bacteria/Protozoa, such as infection of the intestines or vagina. It is also used to treat certain sexually transmitted infections. Microbes are minute living creatures that can cause harmful effects on human beings when they enter our bodies. They induce damage by producing harmful chemicals called toxins or multiply inside healthy cells leading to their death in the process. TINVISTA 300MG TABLET does not work against infections caused by the virus, including cold and flu.

TINVISTA 300MG TABLET is selectively harmful to germs that don't require oxygen to survive, especially protozoa and bacteria. TINVISTA 300MG TABLET kills microbes by entering their cells and generating harmful molecules that damage germ's DNA (Protozoans & bacteria) & hence kill them.

The dose and duration of TINVISTA 300MG TABLET can vary depending on your condition and the severity of the infection. In some cases, you may experience common side effects such as nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, dizziness, tremors and headaches. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Consult your doctor before taking TINVISTA 300MG TABLET if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Avoid alcohol consumption while taking TINVISTA 300MG TABLET as it may cause increased dizziness. TINVISTA 300MG TABLET may cause dizziness and vision problems, so be cautious while driving. TINVISTA 300MG TABLET is not recommended for use in children.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • It would be best to take probiotics after taking the full course of TINVISTA 300MG TABLET to restore some healthy bacteria in the intestine that may have been killed. Taking probiotics after antibiotic treatment can reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Certain fermented foods like yoghurt, cheese, sauerkraut and kimchi can help restore the intestine's good bacteria.
  • Include more fibre-enriched food in your diet, as it can be easily digested by gut bacteria which helps stimulate their growth. Thus fibre foods may help restore healthy gut bacteria after taking a course of antibiotics. Whole grains, like whole-grain bread, and brown rice, should be included in your diet.
  • Avoid taking too much calcium-enriched foods and drinks as it might affect the working of TINVISTA 300MG TABLET.
  • Avoid intake of alcoholic beverages with TINVISTA 300MG TABLET as it can make you dehydrated and affect your sleep. This can make it harder for your body to aid the TINVISTA 300MG TABLET in fighting off infections.

Special Advise

  • If a patient needs to take TINVISTA 300MG TABLET for longer than ten days, the doctor will want him to do some tests. The patient should make sure to keep any appointments that the doctor holds.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Bacterial/Protozoal infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria/protozoa enter, multiply and infect the body. They can target any part of the body and multiply very quickly. These infections vary from minor illnesses like sore throat and ear infections to severe brain, liver & intestinal infections like meningitis, encephalitis or colitis. When you get infected with these germs, you can experience generalized symptoms, like fevers, chills and fatigue. Few harmful bacteria that commonly cause infections include Streptococcus, Staphylococcus and E. coli, whereas few harmful protozoa include amoeba, giardia etc. Anyone can get a bacterial/protozoal infection, but people with a weak immune system or taking immunosuppressive medicines like steroids are more prone to infections.
