Secnidazole tablets

The mechanism of action is similar to other 5-nitroimidazole drugs.

Toxicological effects: Animal experiments have not shown that this product has teratogenic effects, but like other 5-nitroimidazole drugs, this product should be avoided as much as possible in the first three months of pregnancy.
