Pharmacodynamics

After taking ornidazole orally, the substance is fully and quickly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract (about 90%). Blood Cmax values are recorded after 3 hours. Intraplasmic synthesis with protein is insignificant (about 13%). The drug passes well into any fluids with tissues.

The accumulation coefficient in the case of taking the drug in courses in a 0.5 g portion or after 12 hours is 2.5. Metabolic processes are realized inside the liver; in this case, hydroxymethyl and α-hydroxymethyl metabolic components are formed, which have a weaker medicinal activity against anaerobes and vaginal trichomonas than the unchanged active element of the drug.

Excretion (mainly in the form of metabolic components) is realized with urine. The half-life is 13 hours.
