Yes, you can get an assessment for Nitrofurantoin online in Patras, Greece. Hi-Doctor connects you with EU-licensed doctors who can review your case for an uncomplicated urinary tract infection (UTI) and, if appropriate, issue a private electronic prescription. The consultation costs 35 €, and you could have your prescription in under 24 hours, ready to be picked up at any EU pharmacy.

How it works — get your consultation in 4 steps

  1. Fill the online medical questionnaire: Complete a secure, private medical questionnaire. This provides the doctor with your medical history and current symptoms.
  2. Doctor review and money-back guarantee: A licensed EU doctor reviews your case individually. If the doctor determines that Nitrofurantoin treatment is not appropriate for you, your 35 € consultation fee is refunded automatically. There is no risk — if the doctor says no, you get your money back.
  3. Receive your valid electronic prescription: If approved, you receive a valid electronic prescription (PDF file) inside your secure Hi-Doctor account within 24 hours. You will receive an email notification when it's ready. The valid electronic prescription is Spain's official digital-private-prescription standard.
  4. Collect your medication: Print the PDF or show it on your phone — present it at any pharmacy in the EU to collect the medication. Pharmacists retain the right to refuse to dispense.

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 questionnaire for:

  • Typical symptoms of acute cystitis, such as painful urination, frequent urination, and urgency.
  • Absence of symptoms indicating a more complicated infection, such as fever, back pain, or nausea.
  • Your medical history, including any allergies, kidney problems, or other conditions that might make Nitrofurantoin unsuitable.
  • Current medications to check for potential interactions.

The doctor's clinical assessment determines if Nitrofurantoin is the appropriate and safe treatment for your specific situation. The service focuses on uncomplicated UTIs.

What Nitrofurantoin actually does (and doesn't do)

Nitrofurantoin is an antibiotic specifically used to treat bacterial infections of the urinary tract. It works by preventing the growth of bacteria in the urine. It is effective against common bacteria that cause uncomplicated UTIs.

You can typically expect to feel relief from symptoms within a few days of starting treatment. However, it is crucial to complete the entire course of medication as prescribed, even if you feel better, to ensure the infection is fully cleared and to prevent recurrence or antibiotic resistance.

Nitrofurantoin does not treat viral infections, nor is it effective against all types of bacteria. It is not suitable for infections outside the urinary tract.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Nitrofurantoin can cause side effects. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and dizziness. These are usually mild and temporary.

You should stop taking Nitrofurantoin and seek immediate medical attention if you experience:

  • Severe allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, trouble breathing).
  • Chest pain, shortness of breath, or persistent cough.
  • Severe or persistent diarrhea.
  • Yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice).

Always read the patient information leaflet provided with your medication for a complete list of side effects and warnings.
