€11.35 €9.93
Pharmacotherapeutic group: Antimicrobial agent – nitrofuran
ATC code: A07AX03
Pharmacodynamics:
Nifuroxazide is an antimicrobial agent derived from nitrofuran. It blocks activity of dehydrogenases and inhibits respiratory chain tricarboxylic acid cycle and several other biochemical processes in microbial cell. It destroys the membrane of the microbial cell and decreases production of toxins by microorganisms.
Highly active against Campylobacter jejuni Escherichia coli Salmonella spp Shigella spp; Clostridium perfringens Vibrio cholerae pathogenic Vibrions and Vibrio parahaemolytique Staphylococcus spp.
Low sensitivity to nifuroxazide: Citrobacter spp Enterobacter cloacae and Proteus indologenes.
Resistant to nifuroxazide: Klebsiella spp Proteus mirabilis Providencia spp. Pseudomonas spp.
Nifuroxazide does not disturb the balance of intestinal microflora. In acute bacterial diarrhea it restores intestinal eubiosis. In case of infection with enterotropic viruses it prevents development of bacterial superinfection.
Pharmacokinetics:
Nifuroxazide is practically not absorbed from digestive tract after oral administration and its antibacterial effect is produced only in intestinal lumen. Nifuroxazide is excreted by the intestine: 20% in unchanged form and the remaining amount of nifuroxazide – chemically changed.
Indications
Acute bacterial diarrhea occurring without worsening the general condition of increased body temperature and intoxication.

Pharmacokinetics:
After oral administration, nifuroxazide is practically not absorbed from the digestive tract and exerts its antibacterial effect exclusively in the intestinal lumen. Nifuroxazide is excreted by the intestines: 20% unchanged and the remaining amount of nifuroxazide is chemically modified.
