Medicine Description mepafuran-uae 50mg
mepafuran 50mg 20 capsules - rosheta uae is a medication that acts as an antibacterial agent by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. Nitrofurantoin, the active ingredient, is rapidly absorbed and transformed into reactive intermediates within bacterial cells.

Its selective toxicity ensures that it targets bacteria while having minimal effects on human cells.
