Nitrofurantoin 100 Mg Tabs
₹90.00
The Nitrofurantoin 100 mg Tablet is a prescription antibiotic used to treat and prevent bacterial infections of the urinary tract (UTIs), including bladder and kidney infections. It works by killing the bacteria that cause the infection and is typically taken for a full prescribed course to ensure complete eradication.
Active Ingredient
- Nitrofurantoin (100 mg): This is a broad-spectrum antibacterial agent that is highly effective against a wide variety of urinary pathogens such as Escherichia coli, Enterococci, and Staphylococci. It inhibits bacterial growth and function in the urinary tract while maintaining a low concentration in the bloodstream.
Key Uses and Benefits
The primary use of the 100 mg dose is for treating acute or recurrent, uncomplicated lower urinary tract infections.
- Treatment of UTIs: It effectively eliminates the bacteria responsible for symptoms like painful urination, frequent urination, and blood in the urine.
- Prevention of Recurrent UTIs: A lower daily dose (50 mg – 100 mg at bedtime) may be prescribed for long-term suppression to prevent future infections.
- Bladder and Kidney Infections: It is commonly prescribed for cystitis (bladder infection) and may also provide relief from symptoms of kidney infections.
Potential Side Effects and Precautions
Common Side Effects:
- Nausea and vomiting (taking with food can help prevent this).
- Headache, dizziness, or drowsiness.
- Diarrhea or loss of appetite.
- Dark yellow or brown urine (this is a normal and harmless effect).
Important Precautions:
- Prescription Required: Only use as directed by a healthcare professional.
- Finish the Course: Do not stop taking the medicine early, even if symptoms improve quickly, as the infection may return or the bacteria may become resistant.
- Kidney or Liver Issues: Inform your doctor if you have severe kidney disease, a history of liver problems, or a G6PD deficiency, as the medication is contraindicated in these conditions.
- Pregnancy: Avoid use during the last month of pregnancy (labour or delivery) due to potential risks to the baby.
- Interactions: Avoid alcohol while on this medication and do not take magnesium-containing antacids, as they can decrease the absorption and effectiveness of nitrofurantoin.
