Medium and low dosages have a bacteriostatic effect on the pathogenic microflora, high doses are bactericidal. Thus, the antimicrobial effect of the drug is dose-dependent.

Bacteriostatic effect is due to the ability of the active substance to inhibit dehydrogenase activity. This provokes irregularities in the normal synthesis of vital compounds in the cells of pathogens. Thus, as a result of the activity of the active component (nifuroxazide), there is a change in the respiratory chain, as well as inhibition of the activity of tricarboxylic acids.
