Nitrofurazone

Nitrofurazone is a topical antimicrobial agent. Nitrofurazone exerts its antimicrobial activity by interfering with bacterial protein synthesis and damaging bacterial cell membranes. It is effective against various gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, as well as some protozoa.

 

  • Nitrofurazone is indicated for the treatment of various skin infections, including burns, wounds, and ulcers.
  • It is used to prevent or treat infection in minor cuts, scrapes, and other skin injuries.

 

  • Nitrofurazone is for external use only and should be applied topically to the affected area.
  • The specific dosage and frequency of application may vary depending on the severity of the infection and the healthcare provider's recommendation.

 

Adverse reactions to Nitrofurazone are generally rare but may include:

  • Skin irritation, redness, or itching at the application site
  • Allergic reactions, such as rash or hives
  • In rare cases, severe allergic reactions may occur, leading to difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, lips, or tongue, and severe skin reactions.

 

  • Nitrofurazone is for external use only and should not be ingested or applied to open wounds that communicate with body cavities or the peritoneum.
  • If irritation or allergic reactions occur, the use of Nitrofurazone should be discontinued, and medical advice should be sought.
  • Nitrofurazone should be used with caution in individuals with known sensitivities to nitrofurazone or other nitrofuran derivatives.
  • Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and mucous membranes. In case of accidental contact, rinse thoroughly with water.
  • The use of Nitrofurazone should be avoided in pregnant or breastfeeding individuals unless prescribed by a healthcare professional.

 

Contraindication

Nitrofurazone is contraindicated in individuals with a known hypersensitivity to nitrofurazone or any of its components.

 

It should not be used on deep or puncture wounds, animal bites, or serious burns without medical supervision.
