UTICHEK SR 100MG TABLET 10'S

How UTICHEK SR 100MG TABLET 10'S Works

• UTICHEK SR 100MG TABLET 10'S contains Nitrofurantoin, an antibiotic that specifically targets urinary tract infections (UTIs). It works by damaging bacterial DNA, preventing the bacteria from multiplying and effectively clearing the infection.
• Nitrofurantoin's mechanism of action involves its reduction by bacterial enzymes to reactive intermediates. These reactive intermediates then bind to and damage bacterial ribosomal proteins, DNA, RNA, and other essential macromolecules. This broad-spectrum damage disrupts multiple bacterial processes, leading to cell death.
• The selective toxicity of Nitrofurantoin towards bacteria in the urinary tract is due to its rapid excretion and concentration in the urine. After oral administration, Nitrofurantoin is quickly absorbed and eliminated by the kidneys, resulting in high concentrations in the urine where it can effectively target the bacteria causing the UTI. This minimizes its systemic effects and reduces the risk of affecting beneficial bacteria in other parts of the body.
• The sustained-release (SR) formulation of UTICHEK SR 100MG TABLET 10'S ensures a slow and steady release of Nitrofurantoin into the body. This helps to maintain a consistent level of the drug in the urine over a longer period, which can improve its effectiveness in eradicating the infection and reduce the frequency of dosing. This sustained release also minimizes gastrointestinal side effects compared to immediate-release formulations.
• By interfering with multiple bacterial processes, Nitrofurantoin is effective against a wide range of bacteria commonly responsible for UTIs, including Escherichia coli (E. coli), Enterococcus, Klebsiella, and Staphylococcus. Its broad-spectrum activity makes it a valuable treatment option for both uncomplicated and recurrent UTIs. Regular use should be as per doctor's advice to prevent resistance.
