Hi & Welcome.

"Trich" or Trichomonas vaginalis infection can be effectively treated with 2 g
( 4 pills) orally as a single dose of Metronidazole at once. Or it may also be taken as 1 g (2 pills) twice (12 hrs apart) in the same day.

Remember you should see that your sexual partner also gets treated with the same drug simultaneously and you and your partner should abstain from sex until treatment has been completed and both of you have no symptoms.

Hope these answer your queries.
