Pharmacological action

Enterofuril® is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial drug that does not have a systemic effect and is used to treat diarrhea of infectious etiology. Enterofuril®contains the Active ingredient nifuroxazide, a drug of the 5-nitrofuran derivative group. The drug has a bactericidal and bacteriostatic effect against most pathogens of acute intestinal infections. The antimicrobial effect of nifuroxazide is dose-dependent: for example, low and medium doses of the drug have a bacteriostatic effect on pathogenic microflora, and high doses have a bactericidal effect. The bacteriostatic mechanism of action of the drug is associated with inhibition of the activity of the dehydrogenase enzyme, which leads to a violation of the normal course of synthesis of vital compounds in the cell of the microorganism. Thus, due to the effect of nifuroxazide on the cell of the microorganism, there is a violation of the respiratory chain, inhibition of the tricarboxylic acid cycle. In addition, Enterofuril inhibits protein synthesis in the microbial cell and inhibits other biochemical processes in the bacterial cell. Thus, the cell of the microorganism loses its ability to reproduce.
