Frequently asked questions

Is Nitrofurantoin a strong antibiotic?

Yes, Nitrofurantoin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic effective against various urinary bacteria. It should be used to treat infections confirmed to be caused by susceptible bacteria, typically determined through culture tests. It is effective against UTIs caused by Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Klebsiella species, Enterobacter species, and certain Staphylococcus species, though some strains of Enterobacter and Klebsiella may be resistant.

Does Nitrofurantoin make your urine orange?

Nitrofurantoin may cause urine to appear brown or dark yellow. This effect is usually temporary and harmless, resolving after discontinuation of the medication. Consult your doctor if you have concerns, but do not stop taking Nitrofurantoin without advice.

Can Nitrofurantoin give you a yeast infection?

Yes, Nitrofurantoin can lead to a fungal or yeast infection, known as 'thrush', as it may disrupt the balance of 'good bacteria'. Inform your doctor if you experience vaginal itching or discharge after taking Nitrofurantoin or soon after stopping it.

How long does Nitrofurantoin take to work on a UTI?

Nitrofurantoin begins to act quickly, but noticeable improvement in symptoms may take 2-3 days. If symptoms do not improve within 3 days or worsen, consult your doctor. It is essential to complete the prescribed course even if you start feeling better.

What happens if you take Nitrofurantoin without food?

Nitrofurantoin should be taken with or immediately after a meal to enhance absorption and minimize stomach upset. Taking it on an empty stomach may lead to nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and loss of appetite. Follow your doctor's instructions to avoid side effects.
