Brief Answer:
You need to take nitroimidazole drugs

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Welcome to HealthcareMagic .

For trichomoniasis you need to take nitroimidazole group of antibiotics like metronidazole , tinidazole or ornidazole etc.

If you can't tolerate metronidazole and tinidazole then you may discuss with your doctor and take ornidazole.

Hi,

Other ordinary antibiotics are not much useful to control the organism causing trichomoniasis. So nitroimidazole group of antibiotics are used which I mentioned in last answer.
