Pharmacological properties

Pharmacodynamics

Ornidazole is an antimicrobial and antiprotozoal drug from the group of 5-nitroimidazole derivatives. The action of the active substance is aimed at biochemical recovery by intracellular transport proteins of anaerobic bacteria and protozoa 5-nitro group of ornidazole. After restoration, the latter begins to interact with the DNA cells of these microorganisms, suppressing the production of their nucleic acids and causing the death of bacteria.

Quinisol is active against Giardia lamblia (Giardia intestinalis), Trichomonas vaginalis, Entamoeba histolytica, as well as some anaerobic bacteria - Fusobacterium spp., Clostridium spp., Bacteroides spp. (including Bacteroides fragilis, Bacteroides ovatus, Bacteroides distasonis, Bacteroides vulgatus, Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron) and anaerobic cocci Peptostreptococcus spp.

Aerobic microorganisms are resistant to ornidazole.

Pharmacokinetics

After oral administration of Quinisol, the active substance is rapidly absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), by about 90%. In plasma, the maximum concentration of ornidazole is reached within 3 hours after administration. About 13-15% bind to plasma proteins. Quinisole is distributed in most tissues, penetrates into the cerebrospinal fluid and other body fluids, crosses the placenta and the blood-brain barrier, and is detected in breast milk. Plasma concentrations of ornidazole are determined in the range of 6–36 mg / l. The cumulation coefficient after repeated administration at a dose of 500/1000 mg every 12 hours is 1.5–2.5.

Ornidazole is metabolized in the liver with the formation, mainly, of 2-hydroxymethyl- and α-hydroxymethylmetabolites. The resulting metabolites show less activity against anaerobic bacteria and Trichomonas vaginalis than the unchanged base substance. The half-life (T _1/2) is about 13 hours. After a single oral administration, 85% of the dose is excreted from the body during the first 5 days, mainly in the form of metabolites through the intestines and kidneys. Approximately 5% of the administered dose is excreted unchanged by the kidneys and 20–25% - by the intestines.

Indications for use

Quinisol is indicated for the treatment of infections caused by bacteria and protozoa sensitive to ornidazole.

Film-coated tablets are prescribed for the treatment of the following diseases / conditions:

The rate of intravenous drip is 5 ml per minute, the interval between infusions is 12 hours.

The course of therapy is set individually, taking into account the clinical condition of the patient. According to the indications, depending on the nature and severity of the infection, the patient should be transferred to maintenance therapy with oral medications of ornidazole as soon as possible.

Recommended dosing regimen of Quinisol:

• intestinal amebiasis and amoebic liver abscess: for adults - at an initial dose of 500–1000 mg, with further administration every 12 hours at 500 mg; children - 2-30 mg / kg per day; course - 3-6 days;
• anaerobic bacterial infections: for adults - at an initial dose of 500–1000 mg, with a further transition to infusions every 12 hours at 500 mg; children - with an interval of 12 hours at a dose of 10 mg / kg; course - 5-10 days;
• prevention of infections caused by anaerobic bacteria: once 500–1000 mg 30 minutes before surgery.

Side effects

• blood and lymphatic system: infrequently - neuropathy, suppression of bone marrow hematopoiesis;
• nervous system: often - dizziness, drowsiness, fatigue, headache; rarely - tremor, temporary loss of consciousness, impaired coordination of movement, muscle rigidity, sensory / mixed peripheral neuropathy, convulsions; extremely rarely - a change in taste;
• immune system: infrequently - skin rash, itching, urticaria, hypersensitivity reactions, Quincke's edema;
• digestive system: very often - metallic taste in the mouth, nausea, vomiting; rarely - loss of appetite, diarrhea, changes in the activity of liver enzymes;
• violations at the injection site: pain at the injection site.

Overdose

Symptoms of ornidazole overdose may be aggravation of dose-dependent adverse reactions.

In this condition, symptomatic treatment is carried out, in case of the development of seizures, diazepam is prescribed. The specific antidote is unknown.

special instructions

The solution for infusion should not be mixed with other drugs in the same bottle.

In the treatment of mixed infections, Quinisol in the form of an infusion solution can be used in combination with oral antibiotics.

During the period of treatment, there may be an aggravation of the course of diseases of the peripheral nervous system. If dizziness, ataxia, symptoms of peripheral neuropathy, confusion occur, the use of Quinisol must be suspended.

In patients undergoing hemodialysis treatment, a shortened T _1/2 is recorded, and therefore a dose adjustment of ornidazole may be necessary.

When using lithium preparations against the background of ornidazole therapy, it is necessary to monitor the plasma content of lithium, electrolytes and creatinine in the blood.

Influence on the ability to drive vehicles and complex mechanisms

During therapy with Quinisol, you should not drive a car or engage in other activities that require increased concentration of attention and speed of psychomotor reactions.

Application during pregnancy and lactation

Quinisol therapy is contraindicated in the first trimester of pregnancy and during breastfeeding. Ornidazole in the experiment did not show teratogenic or toxic effects on the fetus. However, in pregnant women, controlled studies have not been carried out, therefore, the use of ornidazole in the II and III trimesters of pregnancy is allowed only when the expected benefit of treatment for the mother outweighs the potential threat to the fetus.

If it is necessary to prescribe Quinisol during lactation, it is required to refuse breastfeeding. Breastfeeding can be resumed no earlier than 48 hours after using the last dose of ornidazole.

Pediatric use

For patients under 3 years of age and with a body weight of less than 20 kg, Quinisol tablets are contraindicated. Children over 3 years old and with a body weight of more than 20 kg should be used with caution.

For violations of liver function

In the presence of functional disorders of the liver, Quinisol should be used with caution.

Use in the elderly

Elderly patients are advised to treat with the drug with caution.

Drug interactions

• hepatic enzyme inducers, including phenobarbital: lower T _{1/2 of} ornidazole from blood plasma;
• indirect anticoagulants of the coumarin series: ornidazole enhances the effectiveness of these funds, which may require a change in their dose;
• vecuronium bromide: combined use with Quinisol prolongs its muscle relaxant effect;
• inhibitors of liver microsomal enzymes, including cimetidine: increase the plasma concentration of ornidazole;
• ethanol: the incompatibility of ornidazole with this alcohol is not detected, since, in contrast to other nitroimidazole derivatives, the drug does not inhibit the activity of aldehyde dehydrogenase.

Analogs

Quinisol analogues are Dazolik, Gayro, Ornidazole, Ornidazole-OBL, Ornidazol-Vero, Ornisid, Tiberal, Ornisid Forte, etc.

Terms and conditions of storage
