Nitrofurantoin

While Nitrofurantoin and alcohol do not have any known interactions, it is still not a good idea to mix the two. Moderate alcohol consumption (one glass a day for women and two glasses a day for men) has been shown to have no negative effect on Nitrofurantoin. However, if you drink excessive amounts, it could cause serious health problems and may reduce the drug’s effectiveness.

The antibacterial Nitrofurantoin is used primarily to treat urinary tract infections. It gets rid of bacteria in the body but at the same time can cause a few side effects. A potent medication like this is never going to be without at least some side effects, and you should know what those are before you agree to start using it. It should be noted that not everyone will share the same side effects, and while one person’s may be mild, another person’s can be quite severe. You simply won’t know what kind of side effects you will end up with until you start to take the drug.That being said, we do have a good idea as to what side effects should be expected, just from research and tests already performed on the drug. If, for some reason, you start to experience any side effects beyond those listed here while taking the drug, you need to let your doctor know right away.

Your doctor may prescribe Nitrofurantoin to treat a urinary tract infection. However, this drug can be used to combat a host of bacterial infections. Due to the risk of side effects, though, you need to be careful about the amount of the drug you take at once. An overdose can exacerbate common side effects and make them much worse, and it is important to follow your doctor’s advice about how to use the drug. Misuse of Nitrofurantoin can result in it being ineffective for treatment and may cause you to develop severe symptoms.
