Abstract

The 5-nitroimidazole antimicrobial agents are considered as the treatment of choice for managing the amebic, protozoal and anerobic infections since 1969. With the advancement in medical field certain preference of drugs in this group were given. Tinidazole is now considered as a better one as compared to metronidazole because of specific pharmacokinetic & pharmacodynamics properties. Therefore the current study was hypothesized that tinidazole is a better option for managing anaerobic, amebic and protozoal infection as compared to metronidazole.
