You only need one dose of Tinidazole, and you need 5 days of Flagyl.
The side effects of Tinidazole are way less.

BTW, DO NOT drink alcohol with either of these drugs........Ever, not
even a little bit

Also, if you are self diagnosing, intestinal parasites usually sneak
up on you slowly over several days. If you find yourself suddenly,
violently ill, then you don't have Giardiasis or Crypto, you probably
have Bacterial or  Viral Gastroenteritis, and these antibiotics won't
help you.

Yeah, I know, don't self diagnose, see a doctor, blah, blah, blah. It
is hard to find a clinic in the High Sierra, and self diagnosis may be
the only acceptable alternative. Just be smart about it.
