Pharmacological action

Furamag – an antimicrobial agent with a wide spectrum of action, belonging to the group of nitrofurans.

Furamagu resistance develops slowly and does not reach a high degree.

Active against gram-positive cocci: Streptococcus spp., Staphylococcus spp. gram-negative rods: Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus mirabilis, Klebsiella spp., Enterobacter spp. protozoa: Lamblia intestinalis and other antibiotic-resistant microorganisms.

In relation to Staphylococcus spp., Escherichia coli, Aerobacter aerogenes, Leuconostoc citrovorum, Proteus mirabilis, Proteus morganii Furamag ®, in comparison with other nitrofurans, is more active.

Against most bacteria, the bacteriostatic concentration is from 1: 100,000 to 1: 200,000. The bactericidal concentration is about 2 times greater.

Under the influence of nitrofurans in microorganisms, the respiratory chain and the tricarboxylic acid cycle (Krebs cycle) are suppressed, as well as the inhibition of other biochemical processes of microorganisms, resulting in the destruction of their membrane or cytoplasmic membrane.

As a result of the action of nitrofurans, microorganisms produce less toxins, and therefore an improvement in the general condition of the patient is possible even before the marked suppression of microflora growth. Nitrofurans activate the body’s immune system: increase the titer of complement and the ability of leukocytes to phagocytize microorganisms. Furazidine in therapeutic doses stimulates leukopoiesis.
