Nifunal capsules are an antimicrobial medication specifically used to treat gastrointestinal infections. These capsules contain the active ingredient nifuroxazide at a concentration of 200 mg. Nifuroxazide belongs to a class of medications called intestinal antiseptics. This medication works locally in the intestine, where it has a killing or inhibiting effect on the growth of bacteria that cause diarrhea and gastrointestinal infections, without being significantly absorbed into the bloodstream.

Indications for Use
Nifunal capsules are used to treat:
Infectious diarrhea in children and adults: caused by bacterial infections sensitive to nifuroxazide.
Chronic colitis: which may be accompanied by diarrhea or disturbances in bowel function.
Enterocolitis: to relieve symptoms and control infection.
As an adjunct to combined therapy for intestinal dysbiosis: to help restore the balance of bacteria in the intestine.
The goal of treatment is to eliminate the microorganisms that cause diarrhea and inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract, and to relieve associated symptoms.
What are the dosages of Nifunal?
Nifunal capsules should be taken as directed by your doctor. The usual dose for adults and children (depending on age and weight) is one capsule (200 mg) 2 to 4 times daily.
Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water. The medicine can be taken with or without food. It is very important to adhere to the prescribed dosage and treatment duration specified by your doctor, which is usually short (not exceeding 7 days), as prolonged use may alter the balance of natural bacteria in the intestine.
