Over the counter.

A derivative of 5-nitrofuran is a broad spectrum antimicrobial agent used to eliminate infections of the gastrointestinal tract. Nifuroxazide blocks the activity of dehydrogenases and inhibits the respiratory chains, the tricarboxylic acid cycle and other biochemical reactions in the bacterial cell. Destroys the membranes of sensitive bacteria, reduces the production of toxins by microorganisms. Activates immunity, increases the activity of phagocytes and complement titer.

Effective against gram-positive microorganisms:

• Staphylococcus spp.;
• Streptococcus spp.

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 the normal microflora of the human intestine. In acute bacterial diarrhea, it restores intestinal eubiosis. When the person is infected with enterotropic viruses, it prevents developing bacterial superinfection.
