Summary One hundred and twenty women with trichomoniasis were treated with 4 g. of metronidazole given over a period of two days in dosage of two 400 mg. tablets in the morning and three 400 mg. tablets at night. Thirty‐eight consorts were similarly treated simultaneously. Of 77 patients who fulfilled the criteria for admission to the trial four were not cured but three of them were almost certainly reinfected. Side effects were limited to nausea in nine patients, and vomiting in two others.
