Overview Furantez SR Tablet

Nitrofurantoin extended-release tablets are a bacterial infection fighter. Prescribed for urinary tract infections, both treatment and prevention, they work by eliminating the causative bacteria. However, they are ineffective against viral infections. Dosage and treatment duration must follow your physician's instructions. Taking it with food can lessen nausea, a potential side effect. Consistent daily timing maximizes effectiveness. Complete the prescribed course, even with rapid symptom improvement; premature discontinuation risks recurrence or worsening of the infection. Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea are possible, usually transient, resolving as your body adapts. Report persistent or bothersome side effects to your doctor. Urine discoloration (dark yellow or brown) is a normal, harmless occurrence. Before commencing treatment, inform your doctor about pregnancy, breastfeeding, liver, kidney, or heart conditions, or any antibiotic allergies.
