Description
Arilin Rapid is an antibiotic used to treat trichomoniasis, a sexually transmitted infection caused by the parasite Trichomonas vaginalis. It contains the active ingredient metronidazole, which is effective against anaerobic organisms, including protozoa and certain bacteria. The medication works by interfering with the DNA of the microorganism, stopping its growth and clearing the infection from the body.
Trichomoniasis is a common yet often overlooked infection that can affect both men and women. Symptoms in women may include unusual vaginal discharge, itching, discomfort during urination or sex, and irritation. In men, it can cause urethral discharge or irritation, though many people may be asymptomatic. Treating the infection promptly helps relieve symptoms and prevent complications, as well as transmission to sexual partners.
Arilin Rapid is typically administered as a single or double high-dose vaginal pessary treatment, which makes it a convenient option for patients. However, in some cases, a short course of lower daily oral doses with metronidazole may be prescribed instead. The rapid-acting formula is available only as a vaginal pessary and ensures high concentrations of the active ingredient to effectively target the infection.
Patients are generally advised to avoid alcohol during treatment and for at least 48 hours afterwards due to the risk of a severe interaction known as a disulfiram-like reaction. Side effects may include a metallic taste, nausea, dizziness, or stomach discomfort, which are usually mild and temporary.
To prevent reinfection, it is important that sexual partners are treated at the same time, even if they have no symptoms. Abstaining from sex until the infection is fully cleared is also recommended.
