Nitroxolinum is an antibiotic used to treat urinary tract infections caused by sensitive bacteria. This medication works by inhibiting bacterial DNA synthesis, thereby preventing the multiplication of pathogenic microorganisms.
Nitroxolinum is effective against a wide range of bacteria, including Escherichia coli, Proteus, and Klebsiella. It is primarily used for acute and chronic urinary tract infections, such as cystitis and pyelonephritis.
The drug is generally well-tolerated but may cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, or allergic reactions. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage to avoid the development of bacterial resistance.
Nitroxolinum is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless the benefits outweigh the risks. Consult your doctor before use.
