ABSTRACT
Furazolidine (also called furazolidone) is a synthetic nitrofuran derivative with broad-spectrum antiprotozoal and antibacterial activity. It is closely related to nitrofurantoin (see Chapter 97, Nitrofurans: Nitrofurazone, Furazidine, and Nitrofurantoin), an antibiotic used principally for the treatment of urinary tract infections (Chamberlain, 1976; Goodman et al., 1985).
