Enterofuryl, 200 mg capsules 16 pcs

Entrofuryl^® is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial drug with no systemic action used for treatment of diarrhea of infectious etiology. The drug Entherofuryl ^® contains the active substance nifuroxazide, a drug of the group of 5-nitrofuran derivatives.

The drug has a bactericidal and bacteriostatic effect against most pathogens of acute intestinal infections. Antimicrobial action of nifuroxazide is dose-dependent: thus, low and medium doses of the drug have a bacteriostatic effect against pathogenic microflora, and high – bactericidal.

Bacteriostatic mechanism of action of the drug is associated with inhibition of activity of the enzyme dehydrogenase, which leads to disruption of the normal course of synthesis of vital compounds in the cell of the microorganism.

Thus, due to the effect of nifuroxazide on a microorganism cell the respiratory chain is broken and the tricarboxylic acid cycle is suppressed. In addition, Enterofuryl^® inhibits protein synthesis in the microorganism cell and inhibits other biochemical processes in the bacterial cell. Thus, the microorganism cell loses its ability to reproduce.
