Vulvovaginal Candidiasis: This may develop with SOLOSEC and require treatment with an antifungal agent. Potential Risk for Carcinogenicity: Carcinogenicity has been seen in mice and rats treated chronically with nitroimidazole derivatives, which are structurally related to secnidazole. It is unclear if the positive tumor findings in lifetime rodent studies indicate a risk to patients taking a single dose of SOLOSEC to treat bacterial vaginosis. Avoid chronic use. 5.1 Vulvovaginal Candidiasis The use of SOLOSEC may result in vulvovaginal candidiasis.
