3. If approved, you receive a valid electronic prescription (a downloadable PDF file) in your Hi-Doctor account and by email within 24 hours.
4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone and present it at any pharmacy in the EU. Pharmacists retain the right to refuse, but the valid electronic prescription is designed for EU-wide recognition.

Who qualifies for treatment

Hi-Doctor's EU-licensed doctors consider Nitrofurantoin primarily for uncomplicated urinary tract infections (acute cystitis) in eligible adult patients. The doctor reviews your medical history and symptoms through the secure online questionnaire to assess if you meet the criteria for this treatment. They look for typical symptoms like painful urination, frequent urges, and a feeling of incomplete bladder emptying.

Contraindications and other conditions that would make Nitrofurantoin inappropriate include kidney disease, certain liver conditions, G6PD deficiency, and pregnancy or breastfeeding. The doctor also ensures your symptoms do not suggest a more complicated infection requiring different treatment or an in-person consultation.

What Nitrofurantoin actually does (and doesn't do)

Nitrofurantoin is an antibiotic specifically designed to treat bacterial infections of the urinary tract. It works by preventing bacteria from growing and multiplying in the urine. Most patients experience symptom relief within 1-3 days of starting treatment.

It is important to understand that Nitrofurantoin is effective against specific bacteria commonly found in uncomplicated UTIs and is not a general-purpose antibiotic. It does not treat viral infections, STIs, or more severe kidney infections (pyelonephritis). Always complete the full course of medication, even if you feel better, to ensure the infection is fully cleared.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Nitrofurantoin can cause side effects, though not everyone experiences them. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and diarrhoea. These are usually mild and temporary. Taking the medication with food can often help reduce stomach upset.

More serious, though rare, side effects can include allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling), lung problems, or liver issues. You should stop taking Nitrofurantoin and seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe chest pain, difficulty breathing, persistent fever, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or unusual bruising or bleeding.
