Description and Uses
Nitrofurazone is an antibacterial agent used in animal feed. Occupational dermatitis was reported in cattle breeders and farmers.
Nitrofurazone is a topical anti-infective and bactericide for most pathogens commonly causing surface infections; in the adjunctive therapy of patients with second and third degree bums when bacterial resistance to other agents is areal or potential problem; in skin grafting where bacterial contamination may cause graft rejection and/or donor-site infection; antibacterial agent for the treatment or prevention of infections in a variety of conditions involving skin, eyes, ears, nose and genito-urinary tract; used on pyodermas, ulcers, and wounds; affects some protozoa and is an effective prophylaxis against nosocomial infections; antiseptic lubricant for trans urethral resection; anti-microbial in veterinary medicine.
