I'm looking for information on Eskapar Nifuroxazida. My girlfriend gave me some to help me recover from an illness and I'm wondering what it does and is it good for me to take it. Thanks Mike Hoey

Sorry, since this is a foreign item, I cannot tell you anything about it.
It's a synthetic drug derived from the nitrofuranos (sorry, that's Spanish and I don't know what the equivalent English name for the drug is), It's an intestinal antibiotic, for treatment of intestinal infections and diarrhea caused by intestinal infection.
It has been demonstrated to be effective against Staphylococcus and Streptococcus and against some other bacterias such as Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp, Shigella, Klebsiella spp and Proteus spp.
It is not effective against Salmonella typhi or Typhoid Fever.
