黄粉、呋喃唑酮、痢特灵的关系

常见的黄粉是呋喃西林，痢特灵=呋喃唑酮，国产黄粉比较杂，多数厂家对外宣称主料是呋喃西林，辅以其他呋喃类药物(包括呋喃唑酮)，效果一般。

推荐使用上野黄粉，主料据称是呋喃苯稀酸钠，药效较快，并且药性相对温和。
呋喃唑酮就是药店的痢特灵，一般作为内部系统杀菌药物。另外建议能用甲基蓝 庆大霉素解决的细菌性疾病就不要用黄粉，呋喃类药物对鱼造成的伤害持续时间是很长的。

呋喃西林粉：为柠檬黄色粉末，无臭，味微苦，可溶于水中，是防治烂鳃病、皮肤充血病、鱼鳍腐烂病、松鳞病等的有效药物，也是热带鱼幼鱼期水质消毒的常用药品。因其药性较和，常用于金鱼或热带鱼长途运输时的水体处理。

痢特灵：又名呋喃唑酮。色黄味苦，有片状和粉末状两种。易溶于水，是一种杀菌药，对防治皮肤溃烂和烂鳃病较适用，也是治疗热带鱼肠炎的良好药品。

黄粉：里就有呋喃唑酮,也一起用过,未见异常。黄粉、呋喃西林、利特灵、甲硝唑黄粉：能预防和治疗烂腮、烂尾、弧菌病(皮肤及鳍发红、充血、脓肿)脱鳞、白皮病等细菌性感染病而且在运输当中具有预防受伤后感染的作用。

呋喃西林：腐皮病(打印病)、细菌性烂鳃病、赤皮病(出血性腐败症)、竖鳞病、蛀鳍烂尾病、皮肤发炎充血症、水痘病、洞穴病、白头白嘴病。

利特灵(呋喃唑酮)：为硝基呋喃类抗菌药。对革兰阳性及阴性菌均有一定抗菌作用，包括沙门菌属、志贺菌属、大肠杆 菌、肺炎克雷伯菌、肠杆菌属、金葡菌、粪肠球菌、化脓性链球菌、霍乱弧菌、弯曲菌属、拟杆菌属等，在一定浓度下对毛滴虫、贾第鞭毛虫也有活性。其作用机制 为干扰细菌氧化还原酶从而阻断细菌的正常代谢。主要用于敏感菌所致的细菌性痢疾，肠炎、霍乱，也可以用于伤寒、副伤寒、贾第鞭毛虫病、滴虫病等。与制酸剂 等药物合用于治疗幽门螺杆菌所致的胃窦炎。

甲硝唑：用于治疗肠道和肠外阿米巴病(如阿米巴肝脓肿、胸膜阿米巴病等)。还可用于治疗阴道滴虫病、小袋虫病和皮肤利什曼病、麦地那龙线虫感染等。目前还广泛用于厌氧菌感染的治疗。
其中甲硝唑和利特灵常联合在一起用于治疗鱼类的肠炎和内寄生虫。黄粉是呋喃西林，医院用的黄药水就是。干扰细菌糖代谢的早期阶段，导致细菌代谢紊乱而死 亡，其抗菌谱较广，对多种革兰阳性和阴性菌有抗菌作用，对绿脓杆菌抗菌力弱，对假单孢菌属及变形杆菌属有耐药性。在体外能抑制一般的细菌，高浓度时可杀 菌，外用冲洗或湿敷处理体表感染和皮肤疾病，效果令人满足，用药后使细菌数量大大减少。因毒性较大，只能外用。一般用在鱼身上消炎、杀菌。

甲硝唑，药物的硝基还原成一种细胞毒，从而作用于细菌的DNA代谢过程，抑制细菌的脱氧核糖核酸的合成，干扰细菌的生长、繁殖，最终导致细胞死亡。而耐药 菌往往缺乏硝基还原酶。用于治疗肠道和肠外阿米巴病(如阿米巴肝脓肿、胸膜阿米巴病等)。还可用于治疗阴道滴虫病、小袋虫病和皮肤利什曼病、麦地那龙线虫 感染等。目前还广泛用于厌氧菌感染的治疗。牙痛也用。在鱼身上往往是除内寄。

日本黄粉内含兴奋剂,也不能多用：呋喃西林为广谱抑菌药,一般用于预防或细菌感染早期,较重的感染不易使用。呋喃唑酮主要对杆菌有些效果,通常用于肠道感染,此外,对部分原虫有点效果。甲硝唑用于抗菌,主要针对厌氧菌。
黄粉简介：黄粉只是一个俗称。黄粉有两种叫法，呋喃西林和呋喃唑酮都可以叫黄粉，这里黄粉是指呋喃类药物，呋喃类药 物的作用都大同小异。这些药在药店就能找到。一些复合制剂，比如日本黄粉，这些药一般鱼店会有。一般黄粉应该是复合的,通常黄粉指呋喃西林。本人一般情况 下不提倡使用,一般头洞什么的就要用上它了，使用方法就是把黄粉直接到在头洞处。

黄粉不是神药：很多朋友把黄粉和盐摆在同一高度，鱼有没有问题有什么问题先不问，反正先丢一把下去再说。黄粉，即呋 喃西林。亮黄色结晶粉末，味苦。观赏鱼市场上多见呋喃西林溶液，使用起来十分方便，但浓度偏低。呋喃西林有明显的抑菌杀菌作用，温和毒性低，是一种常用的 鱼药。可以治疗烂尾，烂鳍，烂肉，充血，对肠炎也有一定疗效。但~~~~~~把它如此滥用实在不敢苟同，其对某些菌种威力很小，甚至产生耐药性。很多鱼商 把它用于长途运输的保险药，更有甚者某些鱼店常年用它泡鱼。回想一下，朋友你是否记得买鱼时水的颜色?这种用药顶着的鱼，买回来后死亡率是很高的。老生常 谈，养鱼先养水。把调控水质看重一点儿，注意饲料的卫生，鱼儿是不会轻易生病的。纵有不适，首先应该考虑的实在应该是水。以上皆一家之言，多有不妥。
