Nitrofurantoin, also sold under the brand name MacroBID, is an antibiotic that is used to treat urinary tract infections (UTIs) such as cystitis. The medicine in available as capsules or a liquid which you drink.
Not only can Nitrofurantoin treat UTIs, it can prevent them too. If you experience UTIs often, consult your GP for advice on whether Nitrofurantoin would be suitable for you.
Nitrofurantoin works by changing the DNA of the bacterial cells. The cells become weak and can no longer multiply. This makes it easier for your immune system to fight against the infection.
To treat a UTI, the normal dose is 100 mg taken twice a day or 50 mg taken 4 times a day.
For more severe infections, 100 mg may need to be taken 4 times a day.
When taking Nitrofurantoin 100mg twice a day, space the time you take your tablets out by 12 hours. This means that if you take one dose at 7am, your next dose should be 7pm.
If you are taking Nitrofurantoin 100mg 4 times a day, the doses should be spread evenly across the day. Take the first dose in the morning. Take the second dose around midday. The third dose should be administered in the evening and the fourth dose should be taken just before you go to bed.
Swallow each capsule whole with a glass of water.
Nitrofurantoin 100mg capsules should be taken with food or milk to avoid stomach upset.
