Pharmacodynamics. Nifuroxazide is a 5-nitrofuran derivative that acts exclusively in the intestinal lumen and is not absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. local activity and the lack of penetration into the organs and tissues of the body determines the uniqueness of nifuroxazide in comparison with other nitrofuran derivatives, since there are no systemic effects. the mechanism of action of nifuroxazide is not fully understood. the antimicrobial and antiparasitic properties of nifuroxazide and other nitrofurantoin derivatives are due to the no2-group, which is most effective in the treatment of intestinal infections. the preparation is especially effective against gram-positive bacteria: streptococcus pyogenes, staphylococcus pyogenes and gram-negative bacteria: escherichia coli, salmonella and shigella.

Suction. After oral administration, the absorption of nifuroxazide in the gastrointestinal tract is extremely low, since more than 99% of the taken preparation remains in the intestine.

Distribution. Nifuroxazide is practically not absorbed from the digestive tract, and ultimately absorption does not exceed 0.005%, since there is no distribution to organs and tissues.
