How long does it take for Flagyl to cure trich???


Question:
They only gave me 8 white pills to take and i took them Friday...and no they didn't give me a prescription???

Answers:
Actually trichomoniasis can usually be cured with the prescription drug, metronidazole (Flagyl), given by mouth in a single dose.

It can take several days though for the symptoms to completely disappear and a person should not have sex again until all the symptoms have gone away. Trich is sometimes referred to as the "ping pong" disease because couples can pass it back and forth to each other before the STD is fully cured.

A large single dose of Flagyl is as effective as longer term treatment, but if treatment with a single dose fails your doctor may try multi-dose therapy.
