About Nitrofurantoin
Nitrofurantoin is an antibiotic used to treat and prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs). It works by entering bacterial cells and interfering with their ability to produce proteins, ultimately leading to cell death. Nitrofurantoin is effective against a range of bacteria causing UTIs. Common side effects may include nausea and headache, but these typically resolve over time. In summary, Nitrofurantoin is a key medication for managing urinary infections.
How It Works
Nitrofurantoin inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis and disrupts nucleic acid metabolism, leading to bacterial cell death.
