What is Niftran® Nitrofurantoin Capsule?
Nitrofurantoin is an antibiotic medication that is used to treat urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by certain types of bacteria. It belongs to a class of drugs called nitrofurans, which work by inhibiting the production of bacterial DNA. Nitrofurantoin is primarily active against gram-negative bacteria such as E. coli, Proteus mirabilis, and Klebsiella pneumonia, and it is not very effective against gram-positive bacteria. Niftran 100mg Capsule is an antibiotic. It works by killing the bacteria in the urine that causes infection.
The drug is available in oral and intravenous formulations, and it is typically taken once or twice a day for a period of 5 to 10 days, depending on the severity of the infection. Nitrofurantoin is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, and it is then metabolized in the liver and excreted in the urine.
It’s important to note that Nitrofurantoin should not be used if the patient has a history of an allergic reaction to Nitrofurantoin or any other component of the medication. Also, it should be avoided in patients with G-6-PD deficiency.
Nitrofurantoin is considered a safe and effective antibiotic for the treatment of UTIs, but as with any medication, it may cause side effects in some people. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and upset stomach. In rare cases, it may also cause allergic reactions, such as rash, hives, and difficulty breathing.
It is important to take Nitrofurantoin as prescribed and to complete the full course of treatment to ensure the infection is fully treated. If symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to consult a doctor.
