Metronidazole extended-release tablets

Function and Efficacy

After entering the body, metronidazole is acted upon by intracellular ion transporters, which form a concentration gradient that promotes the transport of drugs into cells. The drug forms free radicals in the cell, which in turn react with intracellular components and eventually lead to the death of microorganisms. Gram-positive anaerobic bacteria: Clostridium, Eubacterium, Peptococcus nigra, Peptostreptococcus. Gram-negative anaerobic bacteria: Bacteroides fragilis (type species, Bacteroides divaricata, Bacteroides ovatus, Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron and Bacteroides vulgaris), Prevotella (Prevotella biloba, Prevotella buccalis, Prevotella saccharolyticus), Porphyromonas, Fusobacterium. Parasitic protozoa: Entamoeba histolytica, Trichomonas vaginalis.
