the active substance:
Metronidazole – 250 mg.
Pharmacological properties:
Metronidazole belongs to the 5-nitroimidazole group. The mechanism of action of metronidazole consists in biochemical reduction of 5-nitrogroup of metronidazole by intracellular transport proteins of anaerobic bacteria and protozoa. The reconstructed 5-nitro group of metronidazole interacts with the microbial cell DNA, inhibiting the synthesis of its nucleic acids, which leads to the death of the microorganism. It is effective against Trichomonas vaginalis, Gardnerella vaginalis, Giardia intestinalis, Entamoeba histolytica, Bacteroides spp. (Bacteroides fragilis, Bacteroides distasonis, Bacteroides ovatus, Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, Bacteroides vulgatus), Fusobacterium spp, Veillonela spp., some gram-positive bacteria (Eubacterium spp., Clostridium spp., Peptococcus spp., Peptostreptococcus spp.).
