Overview Furazen 100mg Tablet SR

Nitrofurantoin 100mg extended-release tablets are a bacterial infection fighter. This antibiotic is indicated for treating and preventing urinary tract infections by eliminating the causative bacteria. However, it's ineffective against viral infections. Dosage and duration should strictly adhere to your physician's instructions. Taking it with food can mitigate nausea, a frequent side effect. Consistent daily timing maximizes effectiveness. Complete the prescribed course; premature discontinuation risks relapse or infection exacerbation. Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea are potential side effects, typically transient and resolving as your body adapts. Persistent or bothersome side effects warrant medical attention. Urine discoloration (dark yellow or brown) is a harmless, expected occurrence. Prior to commencing treatment, inform your doctor of pregnancy, breastfeeding, liver, kidney, or heart conditions, or any antibiotic allergies.
