Nitrofurantoin is an antibiotic commonly used to treat urinary tract infections, particularly cystitis. It works by destroying bacterial DNA, preventing bacterial cells from replicating or regenerating.
Nitrofurantoin is bactericidal, meaning it kills bacteria by disrupting their DNA and inhibiting protein synthesis, thus preventing them from multiplying and spreading.
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common bacterial infections, especially among women. Nitrofurantoin effectively treats UTIs by targeting the bacteria responsible for the infection.
Consult your doctor or pharmacist before using nitrofurantoin, especially if you have kidney disease, are pregnant, have porphyria, or have a history of G6PD deficiency.
Nitrofurantoin cannot be prescribed online for pregnant women. Consult your doctor for alternative treatment options.
It is advisable to avoid alcohol while taking nitrofurantoin, as it may reduce your body's ability to fight infection. Drink plenty of water to help flush out bacteria.
To purchase nitrofurantoin online, complete a short medical questionnaire. Our UK-registered healthcare professionals will review your information, and if deemed suitable, your medication will be dispatched promptly.
Note: The decision regarding treatment suitability is made by the prescriber in consultation with the patient. However, the ultimate decision-making authority rests with the healthcare professional.
