Nitrofurazone is an antibacterial medication commonly used topically to prevent or treat bacterial infections in wounds, burns, and skin ulcers. It belongs to the nitrofuran class of antibiotics.
Nitrofurazone works by inhibiting bacterial enzymes and interfering with bacterial DNA synthesis. Specifically, once inside the bacterial cell, it gets reduced by bacterial flavoproteins to reactive intermediates. These reactive metabolites then: Bind to bacterial ribosomal proteins, Interfere with enzymes involved in carbohydrate metabolism,Cause DNA damage. This multi-targeted action disrupts bacterial growth and replication, making Nitrofurazone effective against a broad spectrum of bacteria.

Nitrofurazone is generally recommended for superficial wounds and burns. It should be used cautiously on deep or large wounds because of potential systemic absorption and toxicity. Always consult a healthcare professional before applying it on extensive damaged skin.
Nitrofurazone is mainly effective topically due to its poor absorption and potential toxicity if taken internally. Systemic use is limited because safer, better-absorbed antibiotics are available for internal infections.
While both belong to the nitrofuran class, Nitrofurazone is primarily topical, used for skin infections, whereas Nitrofurantoin is mainly an oral antibiotic used to treat urinary tract infections.
