Nifuroxazide

Nifuroxazide is a drug that has an antimicrobial effect. It was synthesized more than half a century ago, but is still very actively used. The basis of the drug is derivatives of the nigrofuran series, and more specifically, it is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial drug for bacterial intestinal infections.

Outside the country, this medicine was sold under different trade names and still exists in several pharmacological lines: 5 - neomycin, dioxin, tetracycline, and also furazine. It is prescribed for the complex treatment of diseases caused by infection. The medicine is used externally, so its name indicates the external effect. The antibiotic does not belong to the systemic group that causes overdose or specific damage to the liver and kidneys; it is also used for local injections to moisturize and treat skin diseases and external infections. Here are some of them: conjunctivitis, inflammation of the ears and sinuses, lung disease and others.

The effect of nifuroxazidiu indicates the ability to reduce the activity of pathogenic microbes and stimulate the body's production of antibodies. When carrying out antibacterial therapy, it is necessary to inject the medicinal composition directly onto the area where there is an accumulation of bacteria that cause harm to the body. Once in the body, the bactericidal substance is fixed in the cell and begins to disrupt the production and reproduction of the protein substance that holds the microbial cell together and ensures the stability of its vital functions. Taking the medicine is part of complex therapy in the fight against infectious diseases.

Usually prescribed one tablet or 1 measuring spoon per day, or half a tablet at a time or 0.5 tablets three times a day. Treatment is carried out from 7 to 14 days. The duration of medication is determined by the doctor; it may vary depending on the individual characteristics of the patient, his age and susceptibility to treatment. There are also nuances to using the drug in children.

The main advantages of this drug are its low cost and availability. It is suitable for both hospital and home treatment and continues to be used in patients when infectious diseases occur. The drug is easily sold in pharmacies without a prescription and usually does not cause unwanted reactions.
