Drug

D0376 | Nitazoxanide

Molecular Formula C12H9N3O5S
Molecular Weight 307.28
Structure
State solid
Clearance Nitazoxanide is cleared in the urine and feces. The metabolite, tizoxanide, is also found in the urine, plasma, and breastmilk [L1424]. The drug is not found unchanged in the urine [L1424].
Route of elimination Tizoxanide is excreted in the urine, bile and feces, and tizoxanide glucuronide is excreted in urine and bile. Approximately 2/3 of the oral dose of nitazoxanide is excreted in the faeces and 1/3 in the urine [FDA label, A31981].
Protein binding Very High (greater than 99%), bound to proteins in the plasma [FDA label, A31981].
Half life 7.3h [L1422]
Absorption The relative bioavailability of the suspension compared to the tablet was 70%. When administered with food the AUC and C<sub>max</sub> increased by two-fold and 50%, respectively, for the tablet and 45 to 50% and &le; 10%, respectively, for the oral suspension [FDA label].
