[Indications of the macmiorora
Release form
Produced Macmirror in the form of convex tablets, covered with a soluble protective coating.
The active ingredient of the medicament is a nifuratel, the content of which in one tablet is 0.2 g.
Tablets are packed in blister plates of 10 pieces each.
The cardboard box contains two blister plates.
Pharmacodynamics
The active substance of the drug Macmiore is a nitrofuran drug nifuratel.
Studies have confirmed the extensive antimicrobial effect of the nifuratel, which is especially evident in infectious diseases of the urinary and reproductive system. The principle of the drug's action has not been thoroughly studied. Nevertheless, it is determined that McMiore metabolic pathway influences the enzymes that promote the development and growth of bacteria. Similarly, the drug acts on the Trichomonas.
Macmirror can be used as an antimicrobial agent for exposure to gram (+) and gram (-) aerobes and anaerobes. The lowest effective dosage can be from 2.5 to 5 μg per ml.
Macmirror has a powerful oppressive effect on chlamydia and a weaker one on ureaplasma and mycoplasma. Antifungal effect is less noticeable if you compare the drug with ketoconazole or flutrimazole.
The extensive antimicrobial effect of MacMiore allows it to be used in any infection of the genital and urinary organs. At the same time, the nafuratel does not inhibit the lactobacilli entering into the natural composition of the qualitative bacterial flora: due to this, recovery is accelerated in vaginal inflammatory pathologies, and re-reinfection is also excluded.
A good effect shows the drug in the treatment of patients with intestinal diseases - amoebiasis or giardiasis. There is also information about the significant antiprotozoal ability of MacMyor.
Macmirror does not lead to the development of cross-resistance of bacteria to other antimicrobial drugs.
Pharmacokinetics
After oral administration, 0.2 g of Macmiore is rapidly digested in the digestive tract. The level of the active ingredient in the blood plasma 120 minutes after the administration was about 9.48 μg per ml.
