NITROFON-100 TAB
₹90.50
Nitrofon-100 Tablet is an antibiotic containing nitrofurantoin (100 mg) as its active ingredient, used to treat and prevent bacterial infections of the urinary tract. It is a prescription medication that works by killing the bacteria in the urine that cause the infection.
Key Features and Uses
- Active Ingredient: Each tablet contains 100 mg of nitrofurantoin.
- Targeted Action: It functions as a urinary antiseptic, concentrating in the urine to kill susceptible bacteria like E. coli.
- Conditions Treated: Primarily used for treating and preventing uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs), including bladder infections (cystitis) and kidney infections.
- Administration: The tablet is taken orally, and should be swallowed whole (not crushed or chewed) with food or milk to enhance absorption and minimize stomach upset.
Important Precautions
- Prescription Required: Use only as directed by a healthcare professional and complete the full prescribed course of treatment, even if symptoms improve quickly, to prevent the infection from returning or worsening.
- Potential for Resistance: Stopping the medication prematurely can lead to bacteria developing resistance to the antibiotic.
- Medical Conditions: Inform your doctor if you have liver, kidney, or heart problems, or a history of lung disease, as these conditions may require dose adjustments or contraindicate use. The medicine is generally avoided in patients with severe kidney impairment.
- Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult your doctor if you are pregnant (especially in the final stages of pregnancy/labor) or breastfeeding, as the drug may pass into breastmilk and pose a risk to the baby in certain cases.
- Urine Color Change: A normal and harmless side effect is the urine turning a dark yellow or brown color.
Common Side Effects
Most side effects are temporary and do not require medical attention as your body adjusts to the medicine:
- Nausea and vomiting (taking with food helps manage this).
- Diarrhea or upset stomach.
- Headache and dizziness.
- Loss of appetite.
