Khp 300 mg Tablet

Khp 300 mg Tablet is a prescription antibiotic tablet that contains 300 mg of tinidazole in each tablet. Tinidazole belongs to the nitroimidazole class and is used to treat certain infections caused by susceptible parasites and bacteria. Khp 300 mg Tablet may be prescribed for conditions such as giardiasis, trichomoniasis, bacterial vaginosis, and some amoebic infections, depending on your doctor’s diagnosis. It is made by Zoic Lifesciences and comes in a strip/box of 10 tablets.

How it works: Tinidazole works by entering certain microorganisms and damaging their DNA, which stops them from growing and multiplying. In tablet form, Khp 300 mg Tablet delivers the medicine by mouth so it can be absorbed into the bloodstream and reach the site of infection.

Khp 300 mg Tablet is a lower-strength tablet than Khp 500 mg Tablet, so it may be chosen when a doctor wants a smaller per-tablet dose or needs more flexible dosing. This strength does not work faster than higher strengths, but it can make it easier to match the exact amount prescribed for a particular infection or patient.

• Giardiasis
• Trichomoniasis
• Bacterial vaginosis
• Amoebic infections
• Other susceptible anaerobic infections

• Swallow Khp 300 mg Tablet whole with water unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• Take it with food if it upsets your stomach.
• Take the tablet at the same time each day if you are on a multi-day schedule.
• Finish the full course even if you start feeling better.
• Do not drink alcohol during treatment and for the period your doctor tells you after the last dose.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.

Each Khp 300 mg Tablet provides 300 mg of tinidazole per tablet. The exact dose and how often you take it depend on the infection being treated, your age, and your doctor’s instructions; in some cases tinidazole is taken once, while in others it may be taken once daily for a short course. Do not take more tablets per day than prescribed, because the maximum daily amount must be set by a clinician for your specific condition.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
