Furazolidone mainly exerts antibacterial effects by inhibiting bacterial acetyl CoA metabolism and interfering with DNA synthesis. It has been used clinically to treat gastrointestinal infections such as gastroenteritis, diarrhea, and cholera caused by sensitive bacteria. In veterinary medicine, it has been used as a growth promoter and anti coccidian drug. In addition, its activity against Helicobacter pylori makes it applicable in combination therapy for gastric diseases. However, due to the potential carcinogenicity of its metabolites, it is now mostly replaced by safer antibiotics and is only used under strict supervision. Dosage guidelines should be followed during use to avoid long-term exposure or abuse.
