Khp 500 mg Tablet

Khp 500 mg Tablet is a prescription antibiotic and antiprotozoal medicine that contains 500 mg of tinidazole in each tablet. It belongs to the nitroimidazole class and is used to treat certain bacterial and protozoal infections, such as some vaginal, intestinal, and dental infections, when a clinician decides tinidazole is appropriate. This exact Khp 500 mg Tablet strength is made by Zoic Lifesciences and comes as a tablet in a strip/box of 10 tablets.

How it works: Tinidazole works by entering susceptible bacteria or parasites and damaging their DNA, which stops them from growing and surviving. As a swallowed tablet, Khp 500 mg Tablet delivers the medicine into the body so it can work against the infection at the site your prescriber is targeting.

Khp 500 mg Tablet is the higher tablet strength listed for this brand, so it is generally chosen when a prescriber wants a 500 mg dose rather than the lower 300 mg option. Because each tablet delivers more tinidazole, this strength may fit dosing plans that use fewer tablets per dose, but it is not meant to be split into a self-chosen regimen. A doctor selects this strength based on the infection being treated, age, weight, and other health factors.

• Bacterial vaginosis
• Trichomoniasis
• Giardiasis
• Amebiasis
• Certain dental or anaerobic bacterial infections

• Swallow Khp 500 mg Tablet whole with a glass of water unless your prescriber gives different instructions.
• Take it exactly at the time and for the number of days prescribed, even if you start feeling better early.
• Take with food if it upsets your stomach; food can help reduce nausea for some people.
• Do not drink alcohol during treatment and for at least 3 days after the last dose.
• Do not double up doses unless your healthcare professional specifically tells you to do so.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not take two doses close together.

Each Khp 500 mg Tablet contains 500 mg of tinidazole, so the number of tablets per dose depends on the infection being treated. Some regimens use a single dose, while others use once-daily dosing for several days; the exact schedule and maximum daily amount must be set by the prescriber. Because this is a higher-strength tablet, it should be used only as directed and not substituted for the lower 300 mg tablet without medical guidance.

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