can i try tinidozal wiyhout doctor precrption?

Tini is a powerful ABX. In my opinion the benefits out way the risks. Cancer is probably easier to treat than Lyme and Co's anyway.

Just kidding. I pulsed Tini on two consecutive days per week for around 10 months during the peak of my treatment on IV's. The first few times taking it hit something in my gut pretty hard, but got better with each dose after that.

FYI - The studies on rodents and cancer were done on Flagyl (same class), not Tinidazole. I haven't seen anything on Tinidazole increasing cancer risk.


I also found this:


." Matthew Falagas, of New England Medicine Center and Tufts University School of Medicine, reported data on patients who received the drug as outpatients between 1975 and 1983. The 30,000 users included 21,000 females and 9,000 males (usually, the sexual partners of women treated for vaginal infections). Patients were compared with matched controls (nonusers).

The all-site incidence of cancer after the first 7 years of follow-up was 652 per 100,000 person-years for metronidazole users, compared with 662 for nonusers. No site was associated with an increased risk for cancer, and in the first 7 years after use, nonusers actually had a higher cancer rate, Dr. Falagas reported."

Yes, BBM - I wouldn't take Tini daily....

I took it two days a week.

I have added it back in occasionally in the last few months...just to keep 'them' guessing. lol
