Co-existence of trichomoniasis and BV-related pathogens is common2
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) provides a high pH, creating a favorable environment for T. vaginalis.3
Vaginal pH

SOLOSEC effectively treats both BV and trichomoniasis with just one oral dose1.


Non-compliance to a multiple-day metronidazole regimen is a contributing factor to persistent trichomoniasis or BV4,5
As many as 50%
of patients are non-compliant with a 7-day BID metronidazole regimen.6
SOLOSEC provides complete treatment for trichomoniasis and/or BV with a single oral dose.1
Untreated or inadequately treated trichomoniasis is associated with serious health risks and reproductive morbidity5,7:
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)8
Acquisition of STIs ((gonorrhea, chlamydia, HPV and HSV)9
Acquisition or transmission of HIV9
Cervical cancer10
Pregnancy
complications 11,12
(pre-term birth, low birth weight, premature rupture of membranes, chorioamnionitis)

CDC recommends screening for trichomoniasis in all women seeking care for vaginal discharge.7

Trichomoniasis is highly recurrent, likely due to reinfection by infected partners7
Trichomoniasis Recurrence13


Left untreated, trichomoniasis can persist for months—or years.



With SOLOSEC, patients and partners can complete treatment for trichomoniasis with a single, effective 2 g oral dose



SOLOSEC delivers potent antimicrobial dosing in a single 2 g oral dose.1
A single 2 g oral dose achieves maximum plasma concentration 4 hours after dosing, with fast systemic absorption.1


* Assumes complete adherence to 500 mg BID metronidazole regimen. This is a pictorial representation of 2 products' pharmacokinetic profiles. There is no peer-reviewed study directly comparing the pharmacokinetics of SOLOSEC and metronidazole.
