  1. Acute Diarrhea: Nifuroxazide is commonly prescribed to treat acute diarrhea, particularly when it is caused by enterotoxigenic strains of bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Salmonella, Shigella, and other pathogens commonly associated with traveler's diarrhea and food poisoning.

  2. Gastrointestinal Infections: In addition to diarrhea, nifuroxazide may also be used to treat other gastrointestinal infections caused by susceptible bacteria, including gastroenteritis and enterocolitis.

  3. Antibiotic-associated Diarrhea: Nifuroxazide may be used to treat diarrhea associated with the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, particularly when the diarrhea is mild to moderate and not caused by Clostridium difficile infection.

  4. Children's Diarrhea: Nifuroxazide is often prescribed for children with acute diarrhea, as it is generally well-tolerated and has a favorable safety profile in pediatric patients.

  5. Dosage and Administration: Nifuroxazide is typically administered orally in the form of tablets, capsules, or suspensions. The dosage and duration of treatment depend on the severity of the diarrhea and the patient's age and weight.

  6. Mechanism of Action: Nifuroxazide works by inhibiting the growth and replication of bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract, thereby reducing the symptoms of diarrhea and promoting recovery.

  7. Adverse Effects: Common side effects of nifuroxazide are generally mild and may include nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort, and allergic reactions such as rash or itching. Serious adverse effects are rare but may include severe allergic reactions or liver toxicity.

  8. Precautions: Nifuroxazide should be used with caution in patients with pre-existing liver or kidney disease, as well as in pregnant or breastfeeding women. It is essential to follow the prescribed dosage and duration of treatment to minimize the risk of adverse effects and antibiotic resistance.

  9. Drug Interactions: Nifuroxazide may interact with other medications, particularly those that affect liver function or are metabolized by the liver. It is essential to inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are taking before starting nifuroxazide therapy.

  10. Resistance: Like all antibiotics, resistance to nifuroxazide can develop with prolonged or inappropriate use. It is essential to use nifuroxazide judiciously and as directed by a healthcare provider to minimize the risk of resistance.

Impacted of nifuroxazide (antibiotic) On Probiotics

Bacteria Impacted by nifuroxazide (antibiotic)

We extend modifiers to include items that changes the parent and child taxa. I.e. for a species, that would be the genus that is belongs to and the strains in the species.

Impact of nifuroxazide (antibiotic) on Conditions from US National Library of Medicine

A higher number indicates impact on more bacteria associated with the condition and confidence on the impact.

We have X bacteria high and Y low reported. We find that the modifier reduces some and increases other of these two groups. We just tally: X|reduces + Y|Increase = Positive   X|increases + Y|decrease = Negative.

Benefit Ratio:
Numbers above 0 have increasing positive effect.
Numbers below 0 have increasing negative effect.
