Secnidazole is a nitroimidazole antimicrobial agent primarily used for the treatment of protozoal infections including amoebiasis, giardiasis, and trichomoniasis. It is similar to metronidazole but has a longer half-life, enabling single-dose oral therapies. Secnidazole is approved for use in several countries.
