Secnidazole (trade names Flagentyl, Sindose, Secnil, Solosec) is a nitroimidazole anti-infective. Effectiveness in the treatment of dientamoebiasis has been reported.[1] It has also been tested against Atopobium vaginae.[2]

In the United States, secnidazole is FDA approved for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis and trichomoniasis in adult women.[3]
