Overview Nitfur 100mg Tablet

Nitrofurantoin 100mg tablets are a bacterial infection fighter. Prescribed for urinary tract infections, both treatment and prevention, this antibiotic eliminates the causative bacteria. However, it's ineffective against viral infections. Dosage and treatment length must follow your physician's instructions. Taking it with food can mitigate nausea, a frequent side effect. Consistent daily timing maximizes efficacy; continue the full prescribed course, even if symptoms subside rapidly, to prevent relapse or worsening infection. Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea are possible temporary side effects, usually resolving as your body adapts. Report persistent or bothersome side effects to your doctor. Darkening of urine to yellow or brown is a normal, harmless effect. Prior to commencing treatment, disclose any pregnancy, breastfeeding, liver, kidney, or heart conditions, or antibiotic allergies to your doctor.
