Pharmacological action
Broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent – derivative of 5-nitrofuran.
Used to treat infections of the gastrointestinal tract. Nifuroxazide blocks the activity of dehydrogenases and inhibits the respiratory chain, the tricarboxylic acid cycle and other biochemical reactions in the bacterial cell. Destroys membranes of sensitive bacteria, reduces the production of toxins by microorganisms. Activates immunity, increases phagocyte activity and complement titer.
Effective against gram-positive microorganisms:
Staphylococcus spp.
Streptococcus spp.
and gram-negative microorganisms:
Salmonella spp.
Klebsiella spp.
Enterobacter spp.
Escherichia coli
Shigella spp.
Proteus spp.
Haemophilus influenzae
Campilobacter spp.
Edwarsiella spp.
Citrobacter spp.
Vibrio cholerae
Yersinia enterocolitica.
Nifuroxazide does not affect the state of normal microflora of the human intestine. In acute bacterial diarrhea, intestinal eubiosis is restored. When infected with enterotropic viruses, it prevents the development of bacterial superinfection.
Pharmacokinetics
After oral administration, nifuroxazide is practically not absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract and has no systemic effect. It exhibits antibacterial activity against sensitive bacterial species only in the intestinal lumen. Unchanged, it is excreted by the intestines. The elimination rate depends on the dose of the drug and the motility of the gastrointestinal tract.
Indications

Chronic colitis and enterocolitis.
