  2. A licensed EU doctor reviews your case in private. If the doctor determines the treatment is NOT appropriate for you, your fee is refunded automatically — no risk.

  4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone — present it at any pharmacy in the EU to collect the medication.

Who qualifies for treatment

Hi-Doctor's EU-licensed doctors consider Nitrofurantoin only for uncomplicated urinary tract infections (acute cystitis) in eligible adult patients. The doctor reviews your medical history and symptoms through the online questionnaire to ensure it's the right treatment for you. This includes assessing for typical uncomplicated cystitis symptoms and ruling out contraindications or more complex conditions like kidney infections, male UTIs, or STIs.

What Nitrofurantoin actually does (and doesn't do)

Nitrofurantoin is an antibiotic specifically designed to treat bacterial infections of the bladder. It works by preventing bacteria from growing and multiplying in the urinary tract. It is effective against many common bacteria that cause UTIs. Typically, symptoms begin to improve within 24-48 hours of starting treatment. It is not effective against viral infections and is generally not used for complicated UTIs or infections outside the bladder.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Nitrofurantoin can have side effects. Common side effects include nausea, headache, and dark-coloured urine. More serious, but rare, side effects can include lung problems, liver damage, or nerve damage. You should stop taking Nitrofurantoin and seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe chest pain, persistent cough, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or unusual tingling or numbness.
