Nitrofurantoin MR is an antibiotic primarily used to treat urinary tract infections, including those affecting the bladder and kidneys. The "MR" stands for Modified Release, indicating that each dose remains effective in the body for an extended period.
Nitrofurantoin MR is a commonly prescribed antibiotic for urinary tract infections (UTIs). After starting treatment, symptoms such as fever, pain during urination, urgency, and frequent urination usually improve within a few days.
During treatment, your urine may appear dark yellow or brown. This is a normal side effect and will subside once the antibiotic course is completed. Be sure to read the patient leaflet for a comprehensive list of potential side effects and precautions.
Nitrofurantoin MR works by killing bacteria to treat the infection and prevent it from getting worse. Once absorbed through the digestive system, it is filtered from the blood into the urine, allowing the antibiotic to concentrate at the infection site. This makes it particularly effective for UTIs but less suitable for treating infections elsewhere in the body.
The "MR" in Nitrofurantoin MR stands for Modified Release, meaning the medication is released gradually, providing longer-lasting effects. As a result, you need to take the capsules less frequently compared to standard-release antibiotics.
