Medicine Description uvamin-retard 100 mg
uvamin retard 100 mg capsules is a medication that contains furazolidone, which functions as an antibacterial agent by inhibiting the enzyme monoamine oxidase (MAO) and disrupting nucleic acid synthesis in bacteria. This mechanism leads to the suppression of bacterial growth by preventing the metabolism of key cellular components, thereby interfering with the bacteria's ability to reproduce and survive. Furazolidone is effective against a variety of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, particularly those that are sensitive to this specific antibiotic. It is also utilized for its antiprotozoal properties, making it beneficial in treating certain infections caused by protozoa.
