Stopdiar, 100 mg 24 pcs.

Stopdiar has antimicrobial action.

Pharmacodynamics

. Nifuroxazide is a nitrofuran derivative and has antibacterial effect against gastrointestinal Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus and Streptococcus) and some Gram-negative bacteria (Salmonella, Shigella, Klebsiella, Escherichia coli). It does not affect the composition of normal bacterial flora of the large intestine. The detailed mechanism of action of the drug is unknown.

Nifuroxazide presumably inhibits dehydrogenase activity and protein synthesis in bacterial cells. It does not cause the emergence of drug-resistant strains; cross-resistance with other antibacterial drugs has not been observed either.

The effectiveness of nifuroxazide does not depend on the pH existing in the intestinal lumen or on the sensitivity of microorganisms to antibacterial drugs. The drug is practically not absorbed from the digestive tract and acts exclusively in the intestinal lumen.

Pharmacokinetics

Nifuroxazide is hardly soluble. After oral administration, it is practically not absorbed from the digestive tract and has no systemic effect. It is excreted through the intestine.

Indications

Acute and chronic diarrhea caused by intestinal gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., Haemophilus influenzae), as well as some gram-negative bacteria (Salmonella, Shigella, Klebsiella, Escherichia coli, Proteus spp., Enterobacter spp.).

Interaction

Due to the fact that nifuroxazide is not absorbed from the digestive tract, the possibility of interaction with other drugs is unlikely.
