Pharmacodynamics

Nifuroxazide - intestinal antiseptic, a derivative of 5-nitrofuran, highly active against Campylobacter jejuni, Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp, Shigella spp; Clostridium perfingens, Vibrio cholerae, pathogenic Vibrions and Vibrio parahaemolytique, Staphylococcus spp. Weakly sensitive to nifuroxazide: Citrobacter spp, Enterobacter cloacae and Proteus indologenes. Resistant to nifuroxazide: Klebsiella spp, Proteus mirabilis, Providencia spp, Pseudomonas spp.

Nifuroxazide presumably inhibits the activity of dehydrogenases and the synthesis of proteins in bacteria cells. Does not cause the emergence of drug-resistant strains, was not observed as cross-resistance with other antibacterial drugs. The effectiveness of nifuroxazide does not depend on the pH that exists in the intestinal lumen, nor on the sensitivity of microorganisms to antibacterial drugs. Does not affect the composition of the normal bacterial flora of the digestive tract. In acute bacterial diarrhea, it restores intestinal eubiosis. When infected with enterotropic viruses prevents the development of bacterial superinfection.

Pharmacokinetics

After oral administration, nifuroxazide is practically not absorbed from the digestive tract and exerts its antibacterial action exclusively in the intestinal lumen. Nifuroxazide is eliminated by the intestines: 20% unchanged, and the rest is nifuroxazide - chemically modified.

Indications

Acute bacterial diarrhea, occurring without deterioration of the general condition, fever, intoxication.
