Pharmacological action

Pharmacodynamics

Antimicrobial agent, a derivative of the nitrofuran group, primarily for the treatment of urinary tract infections. It disrupts the synthesis of proteins in bacteria and the permeability of the cell membrane. It is active against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria (Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., Shigella dysenteria spp., Shigella flexneri spp., Shigella boydii spp., Shigella sonnei spp., Escherichia coli., Proteus spp.).

Pharmacokinetics

Absorption from the gastrointestinal tract is good. Bioavailability - 50% (food increases bioavailability). The absorption rate depends on the size of the crystals (microcrystalline form is characterized by rapid solubility and absorption rate, short time to reach maximum concentration in the urine). Communication with plasma proteins - 60%. Metabolized in the liver and muscle tissue. The elimination half-life is 20-25 minutes. Penetrates through the placenta, the blood-brain barrier, excreted in breast milk. It is excreted completely by the kidneys (30-50% - unchanged).

Indications

Bacterial infections of the urinary tract (pyelitis, pyelonephritis, urethritis, cystitis), prevention of infections during urological operations or examination (cystoscopy, catheterization, etc.).

Drug Interaction

Concomitant administration of nalidixic acid and magnesium trisilicate-containing antacids reduces the antibacterial effect.

Incompatible with fluoroquinolones.

Drugs blocking tubular secretion reduce the antibacterial effect (by reducing the concentration of nitrofurantoin in the urine) and increasing the toxicity (increasing the concentration in the blood) of the drug.

Overdose

Symptoms: vomiting.

Treatment: Ingestion of a large amount of fluid leads to increased excretion of the drug in the urine. Effective dialysis.

Storage conditions

Store in a dry, dark place at a temperature not exceeding 25 РC.
