1. Drug of choice for Trichomoniasis is Metronidazole. 2. Treatment for Trichomoniasis : Metronidazole 400mg TDS for 7 days or 2g single dose, (or) Tinidazole 600mg daily for 7 days or 2g single dose, (or) Secnidazole 2g single dose. 3. Treatment failures owing to the presence of Metronidazole-resistant strains of T. vaginalis are becoming increasingly common.
