Nifuroxazide by Gedeon Richter is an oral antimicrobial medication used to treat acute and chronic diarrhea of bacterial origin. Each coated tablet contains 100 mg of nifuroxazide, an intestinal antiseptic that works locally in the gut without being absorbed into the bloodstream.
Nifuroxazide targets bacteria responsible for gastrointestinal infections while maintaining the natural intestinal flora. It is suitable for both children (depending on age and weight, usually over 6 years old) and adults. The formulation is intended for short-term use and should be taken according to the instructions provided by your doctor or pharmacist.
