Uses for furazolidone
Furazolidone is used to treat bacterial and protozoal infections. It works by killing bacteria and protozoa (tiny, one-celled animals). Some protozoa are parasites that can cause many different kinds of infections in the body.
Furazolidone is taken by mouth. It works inside the intestinal tract to treat cholera, colitis, and/or diarrhea caused by bacteria, and giardiasis. Furazolidone is sometimes given with other medicines for bacterial infections.
Furazolidone may cause some serious side effects when taken with certain foods, beverages, or other medicines. Check with your health care professional for a list of products that should be avoided.
Furazolidone is available only with your doctor's prescription.
Proper use of furazolidone
Do not give furazolidone to infants up to 1 month of age, unless otherwise directed by your doctor. Furazolidone may cause anemia in these patients.
Furazolidone may be taken with food to lessen the chance of an upset stomach.
To use the oral suspension:
- Use a specially marked measuring spoon or other device to measure each dose accurately. The average household teaspoon may not hold the right amount of liquid.
To help clear up your infection completely, keep taking furazolidone for the full time of treatment, even if you begin to feel better after a few days. If you stop taking furazolidone too soon, your symptoms may return. Do not miss any doses.
