WARNING: POTENTIAL RISK FOR CARCINOGENICITY WARNING: POTENTIAL RISK FOR CARCINOGENICITY Carcinogenicity has been seen in mice and rats treated chronically with metronidazole, another nitroimidazole agent [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)].

Carcinogenicity has been seen in mice and rats treated chronically with metronidazole, another nitroimidazole agent (13.1).

Severe irreversible hepatotoxicity/acute liver failure with fatal outcomes have been reported after initiation of metronidazole, another nitroimidazole drug, structurally related to tinidazole, in patients with Cockayne syndrome [see Adverse Reactions (6.2)] Prior history of hypersensitivity to tinidazole or other nitroimidazole derivatives (4, 6.1, 6.2)

The following drug interactions were reported for metronidazole, a chemically-related nitroimidazole and may therefore occur with tinidazole: Warfarin and other oral coumarin anticoagulants: Anticoagulant dosage may need adjustment during and up to 8 days after tinidazole therapy ( 7.1 )

Potential Effects of Tinidazole on Other Drugs Warfarin and Other Oral Coumarin Anticoagulants: As with metronidazole, tinidazole may enhance the effect of warfarin and other coumarin anticoagulants, resulting in a prolongation of prothrombin time.
