Typical costs:

• For patients covered by health insurance, out-of-pocket costs for trichomoniasis treatment typically consist of a doctor visit copay of $5-$30 or more and a prescription drug copay of $10-$85 or more, depending on the plan and whether the drug is generic, preferred or non-preferred. Trichomoniasis treatment typically is covered by health insurance.
• For patients not covered by health insurance, the cost of trichomoniasis diagnosis typically includes a doctor visit and laboratory test. And treatment typically costs $20-$25 for a generic antibiotic or $45-$125 for a brand-name antibiotic, depending on the brand and the dose.
• For example, GetSTDTested.com charges $90 for a trichomoniasis test^[1] . Drugstore.com charges about $20 for a one-week course of generic 250 mg metronidazole and about $80 for the brand-name equivalent Flagyl.

And Drugstore.com charges about $45 for a 2-grams dose of the brand-name drug Tindamax.

Or, it can be treated with the antibiotic, tinidazole^[3] (brand name Tindamax) at a one-time dose of 2 grams.
