Nitrofurantoin

Drug Info for nitrofurantoin

Nitrofurantoin is used to treat urinary tract infections. Nitrofurantoin is in a class of medications called antibiotics. It works by killing bacteria that cause infection. Antibiotics such as nitrofurantoin will not work for colds, flu, or other viral infections. Using antibiotics when they are not needed increases your risk of getting an infection later that resists antibiotic treatment.

Nitrofurantoin is an antibiotic used for the treatment of prophylaxis, urinary tract infections (UTIs) or pyelitis. It is also used for the treatment of infections associated with susceptible strains of Escherichia coli, Enterococcus, Staphylococcus, Citrobacter, Klebsiella and Enterobacter.
