Will Taking Tinidazole Cause Passing Of Black Tarry Stool With Odour?
After taking 2 g single dose tinidazole for a self diagnosed giardia infection (I'm living in Nepal and have had giardia 8 times before so i'm pretty sure it was giardia). I am having black, tarry and foul smelling stools. Is this a normal reaction to tinidazole? I'm also still feeling extremely weak in my limbs. I don't remember this happening before. It is significantly difficult for me to get to an actual doctor. Can i wait this out or do I need to make the journey.
