Furazolidone Tablets

Active Ingredients: Furazolidone

Furazolidone Tablets are an antibiotic drug used to prevent and treat bacterial infections. It is effective against infections such as bacterial and protozoal enteritis and urinary tract infections, salmonellosis and E.coli infections in pigs, dogs, cats, calves, and poultry and coccidiosis and giardiasis in birds and poultry.

Furazolidone is classified as a nitrofuran antibiotic. It works by interfering with the enzyme system of bacteria, but the mechanism of action against protozoa isn't well understood. This drug shows efficiency towards certain strains of Giardia, Vibrio cholerae, Trichomonas, Coccidia, and many strains of E. coli, Enterobacter, Campylobacter, Salmonella, and Shigella.

Since Furazolidone is a Nitrofuran antibiotic, its use in food animals is currently prohibited by the FDA under the Animal Medicinal Drug Use Clarification Act of 1994.
