Overview Furafix Tablet SR

Nitrofurantoin extended-release tablets are a bacterial infection fighter. They're used to treat and prevent urinary tract infections caused by bacteria, eliminating the infectious agents. However, they are ineffective against viral infections. Dosage and treatment duration should strictly follow your physician's instructions. Taking the medication with food can lessen nausea, a potential side effect. Consistent daily timing maximizes effectiveness; complete the prescribed course, even with symptom improvement, to avoid relapse or worsening infection. Some individuals may experience temporary nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea, typically resolving as the body adapts. Report persistent or bothersome side effects to your doctor. A harmless side effect is darkening of urine to yellow or brown. Before starting treatment, inform your doctor of pregnancy, breastfeeding, liver, kidney, or heart conditions, or any antibiotic allergies.
