Overview Surantoin 100mg Tablet SR

Nitrofurantoin 100mg sustained-release tablets are a bacterial infection fighter. They're used to treat and prevent urinary tract infections by eliminating the causative bacteria. However, they are ineffective against viral infections. Dosage and treatment duration should strictly follow your physician's instructions. Taking it with food can mitigate nausea, a common side effect. Consistent daily dosing maximizes effectiveness; continue the full prescribed course, even if symptoms improve rapidly. Premature discontinuation may lead to relapse or infection exacerbation. Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea are possible, though typically transient and resolving as your body adapts. Report persistent or bothersome side effects to your doctor. Urine discoloration (dark yellow or brown) is a normal occurrence. Prior to commencing treatment, inform your doctor of pregnancy, breastfeeding, liver, kidney, or heart conditions, or any antibiotic allergies.
