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 current symptoms through the online questionnaire. They look for:

• Typical symptoms of uncomplicated UTI: painful urination, frequent urination, urgency.
• No signs of a complicated UTI: fever, back pain, nausea, vomiting (which could indicate a kidney infection).
• No history of kidney disease or impaired kidney function.
• Not pregnant or breastfeeding.
• No known allergies to Nitrofurantoin.
• No other contraindications that make Nitrofurantoin unsuitable for you.

The doctor's clinical assessment is crucial to ensure Nitrofurantoin is safe and appropriate for your specific case.

What Nitrofurantoin actually does (and doesn't do)

Nitrofurantoin is an antibiotic specifically designed to treat bacterial infections in the urinary tract. It works by preventing bacteria from growing and multiplying in the urine. It is highly effective against many common bacteria that cause uncomplicated UTIs.

• Does: Targets bacteria in the bladder and urinary tract.
• Doesn't: Treat viral infections, fungal infections, or STIs. It is not suitable for kidney infections (pyelonephritis) or asymptomatic bacteriuria.

You can typically expect to feel relief from symptoms within 1-3 days of starting treatment. It's important to complete the full course of antibiotics as prescribed, even if you feel better sooner, to prevent the infection from returning.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Nitrofurantoin can cause side effects, though not everyone experiences them. Common side effects often include:

• Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea
• Loss of appetite
• Headache, dizziness

More serious, but less common, side effects can occur. You should stop taking Nitrofurantoin and seek immediate medical attention if you experience:

• Severe allergic reaction (rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, trouble breathing)
• Severe or persistent diarrhea
• Signs of liver problems (yellowing eyes/skin, dark urine, severe stomach pain)
• Signs of lung problems (difficulty breathing, persistent cough, chest pain)
• Unusual tiredness, easy bruising or bleeding

Always read the patient information leaflet provided with your medication and consult your doctor or pharmacist if you have concerns.
