Composition

1 g of the drug contains:

active ingredient: nosiheptide – 5 mg;

excipient - semolina.

Pharmacological properties

АТСvet: QA07A - Intestinal anti-infectives.

Nosiheptide is an antibiotic of the polypeptides group. It makes bactericidal effect upon gram-positive microorganisms (Clostridium perfringens, Streptococcus spp., Staphylococcus spp.), as well as certain gram-negative (Pasteurella multocida, Neisseria catarrhalis). Nosiheptide makes effect upon bacterial synthesis of proteins, that is – upon 50S ribosomal subunits, and tightly binds the 23S-rRNA complex to the ribosomal protein L11. It is not absorbed from the digestive tract, therefore, it makes impact exclusively upon intestinal microflora. It inhibits growth of microorganisms producing ammonia, facilitating reduction of the ammonia level in digestive tract.

The resistance of bacteria to the active ingredient develops slowly. No resistance of Clostridium perfringens is observed. No cross-resistance with other antibacterial preparations is observed in microorganisms.

High concentration of nosiheptide formed in the digestive tract contributes to long-term antibacterial effect. It is not accumulated in body tissues and is excreted unchanged.
