Indication: | For the specific and symptomatic treatment of bacterial or protozoal diarrhea and enteritis caused by susceptible organisms. |
Pharmacology: | Furoxone has a broad antibacterial spectrum covering the majority of gastrointestinal tract pathogens including E. coli, staphylococci, Salmonella, Shigella, Proteus, Aerobacter aerogenes, Vibrio cholerae and Giardia lamblia. Its bactericidal activity is based upon its interference with DNA replication and protein production; this antimicrobial action minimizes the development of resistant organisms. |
Mechanism_of_action: | Furazolidone and its related free radical products are believed to bind DNA and induce cross-links. Bacterial DNA is particularly susceptible to this drug leading to high levels of mutations (transitions and transversions) in the bacterial chromosome. |
Organisms_affected: | Microbes (bacteria, parasites) |
