Solosec
What is Solosec?
Solosec (secnidazole) is an antimicrobial agent that fights bacteria.
Solosec is a prescription medicine used in women to treat bacterial vaginal infections.
Solosec is also used to treat trichomoniasis, a common sexually transmitted infection (STI), in adults. Sexual partners should be treated at the same time. People should avoid having sex until they and their sex partners are treated (for example, when therapy has been completed and any symptoms have resolved) to help prevent reinfection.
Secnidazole will not treat fungal (yeast) infections.
Warnings
You should not breast-feed while using Solosec and for at least 4 days after your last dose.
