Nitrofurantoin PR TestCard UTI

What is Nitrofurantoin PR TestCard UTI used for?

Nitrofurantoin PR is a prolonged-release antibiotic used to treat and prevent urinary tract infections, mainly those affecting the bladder, such as cystitis. It works by killing the bacteria that cause the infection, and because it concentrates in the urine, it’s very effective for infections in the lower urinary tract.

Also, review and order Prozac.

How and when to take the Nitrofurantoin PR TestCard UTI?

Nitrofurantoin PR should be taken twice a day, ideally every 12 hours—usually one capsule in the morning and one in the evening. It’s important to take it with food or milk, as this helps your body absorb the medicine better and reduces the chance of stomach upset. Always follow the dosage and duration prescribed by your doctor, and don’t stop the course early, even if you feel better. Swallow the capsules whole with water—do not crush or chew them. 

How long does a Nitrofurantoin PR TestCard UTI last?

Nitrofurantoin PR begins soon after starting the treatment, but the full course typically lasts 3 to 7 days for treating a urinary tract infection. You should start feeling better within a few days, but it’s important to complete the entire prescribed course to fully clear the infection and prevent it from coming back. If it’s used for the prevention of recurrent UTIs, it may be taken once daily for several weeks or months, depending on your doctor’s advice.
