Nitrofurantoin

Nitrofurantoin is a prescription antibacterial medicine mainly used for certain bacterial infections of the urinary tract, especially uncomplicated bladder infections known as acute cystitis. It belongs to the nitrofuran class of antimicrobials and becomes concentrated in the urine, where it acts against susceptible bacteria. Nitrofurantoin works through reactive bacterial intermediates that interfere with several essential cellular processes, including protein, DNA, RNA, energy, and cell-wall functions. It does not treat viral infections such as colds or flu. Nitrofurantoin is available in oral formulations, including capsules and liquid suspension. Commonly reported side effects include nausea, headache, reduced appetite, and changes in urine color. Rare but serious reactions involving the lungs, liver, nerves, or blood have also been reported. Kidney function and certain medical conditions can affect whether this medicine is suitable for a patient. Nitrofurantoin is intended only for infections caused by susceptible bacteria, and unnecessary antibiotic use can contribute to antimicrobial resistance. Because it is a prescription medicine, treatment decisions should be made by a qualified doctor or pharmacist after appropriate medical assessment and review for safe and appropriate clinical care.
