Secnil Forte is an antibiotic that fights off infections like bacterial vaginosis (BV). BV is a vaginal infection resulting from an imbalance in the normal bacteria present in the vagina. Secnil Forte belongs to a group of drugs known as nitroimidazoles, which are good at stopping the growth of bacteria and other tiny organisms.
Apart from bacterial vaginosis, Secnil Forte is also used to treat trichomoniasis, a sexually transmitted condition caused by the trichomonas vaginalis parasite. In some cases, Secnil Forte may also be prescribed to treat bacterial or parasitic gastrointestinal infections.
The way Secnil Forte works in treating bacterial vaginosis (BV) is by disrupting the DNA structure of the bacteria responsible for the infection. When the DNA structure of the bad bacteria is compromised, they can no longer replicate. This ultimately leads to their death and clearance from the body.
Secnil Forte helps with BV symptoms such as atypical vaginal discharge, odour and pain by preventing the growth of bad bacteria and restoring the natural balance of the vaginal environment.
Each tablet of Secnil Forte contains 1 gram of secnidazole. The usual recommended dosage to treat bacterial vaginosis is 2 grams of secnidazole a day. So your doctor will usually recommend taking Secnil Forte twice a day. However, it is best to speak with your doctor before taking the medication.

Like with any antibiotic, try to take Secnil Forte with food for better absorption. Swallow it whole with a glass of water without breaking or chewing it. Try to take it at the same time to ensure you have a steady flow of the medication in your body.
The time it takes for Secnil Forte to work can differ depending on how bad your infection is and how your body reacts to the medication.
Make sure you complete the entire course so that the infection doesn’t come back and is completely out of your system.
If you forget to take your medicine at the scheduled time, try to take it whenever you recall. But if it is almost time for you to take your next dose, skip the missed dose.
Speak to your doctor if you miss more than two doses because this may have reduced the effectiveness of the medicine and you may have to repeat the dose.
