Other brands of nitrofurantoin include Furadantin and Macrobid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nitrofurantoin comes in tablet, capsule, and liquid forms. It is commonly prescribed at a dose of 50-100 milligrams at bedtime for the prevention of urinary tract infections for adults and teenagers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The typical dose of nitrofurantoin for treating active urinary tract infections is 50-100 milligrams every six hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nitrofurantoin is available in extended-release capsules with a common dosage of 100 milligrams every 12 hours for children 12 years and older and adults.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nitrofurantoin isn\u2019t recommended for babies under the age of one month. For use in children under the age of 12, the dose is based on body weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[bensnaturalhealthIinlineLeadGen id =&#8221;1&#8243; event=&#8221;Sleep Guide Download&#8221; image=&#8221;https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Sleep-Cover.png&#8221; title=&#8221;Get 10% Off Our Products!&#8221; content=&#8221;##Sign up for our newsletter ## Get Your FREE Sleep Guide ##Be the first to hear about sales and promotions ## Stay up to date on our latest health news&#8221;]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-does-nitrofurantoin-macrodantin-work\">How does nitrofurantoin macrodantin work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/urinary-tract-infection\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Urinary tract infections<\/a> (also called bladder infections) impact both men and women. However, women are much more likely to develop UTIs because their urethras (the tube carrying urine out of the bladder) are much shorter than in a man. This means that bacteria can more easily travel from outside the body and into the bladder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to treat UTIs promptly because, left untreated, they can lead to kidney infections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nitrofurantoin works by killing the bacteria that cause urinary tract infections. Most of the drug is filtered out of your blood and gets concentrated in your bladder, where it can most efficiently kill bacteria. Nitrofurantoin is unique because it\u2019s designed to be concentrated in your bladder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-22-foods-to-avoid-when-taking-nitrofurantoin-macrodantin-nbsp\">22 foods to avoid when taking nitrofurantoin macrodantin&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For the most part, you can eat a normal diet while taking antibiotics like nitrofurantoin. However, certain things can reduce the absorption of antibiotics in general, such as<strong> calcium supplements<\/strong> and <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/general-health\/grapefruit-and-medication-interactions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>grapefruit juice<\/strong><\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because recommendations regarding calcium and grapefruit while taking nitrofurantoin vary among online sources, you should consult your pharmacist for the most up-to-date recommendations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While scientific studies are lacking regarding sugar intake and UTIs, anecdotally, it\u2019s recommended to avoid high-sugar foods to help prevent UTIs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might be more prone to developing <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/diabetes-health\/what-is-glycosuria\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">glucose in your urine<\/a> if you have a history of insulin resistance and\/or high blood sugar.

Taking nitrofurantoin on an empty stomach makes you more likely to develop gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking nitrofurantoin with food can help increase its concentration in your bladder by up to 40%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-the-best-time-to-take-nitrofurantoin-macrodantin\">What is the best time to take nitrofurantoin macrodantin?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You should take nitrofurantoin as prescribed, which is typically at bedtime or every six hours. It doesn\u2019t matter what time of day you take it, but you should stay on schedule and try to time doses when you can eat a meal or snack with your dose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-any-other-safety-concerns\">Any other safety concerns?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-side-effects\">Side effects<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common side effects of taking nitrofurantoin include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Nausea<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vomiting&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Diarrhea<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Loss of appetite<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Headache<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dizziness or sleepiness<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-risks\">Risks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Nitrofurantoin is also associated with certain risks such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Liver problems<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nerve damage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Red blood cell damage (hemolysis)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lung inflammation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dehydration and electrolyte imbalances due to diarrhea<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-reduce-the-side-effects-of-nitrofurantoin-macrodantin\">How to reduce the side effects of nitrofurantoin macrodantin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to reduce the side effects of nitrofurantoin is to take it with food or milk and to take it as prescribed. If you miss a nitrofurantoin dose, don\u2019t take two doses the next time you\u2019re scheduled to take it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nitrofurantoin is an antibiotic specifically meant to treat and prevent urinary tract infections. To help promote gut and overall health while taking antibiotics like nitrofurantoin, it\u2019s ideal to eat probiotic-rich foods, high-fiber foods, and protein-rich foods.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should eat bland, low-fiber foods only if you\u2019re experiencing diarrhea or other types of stomach upset that can come with taking antibiotics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Avoid eating high-sugar foods, drinking excessive amounts of alcohol, and consuming large amounts of caffeine while taking antibiotics like nitrofurantoin macrodantin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-explore-more\">Explore More<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/general-health\/natural-antibiotics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"217\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/natural-antibiotics-1024x217.jpg\" alt=\"natural antibiotics\" class=\"wp-image-35526\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/natural-antibiotics-1024x217.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/natural-antibiotics-300x64.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/natural-antibiotics-768x163.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/natural-antibiotics.jpg 1180w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/general-health\/natural-antibiotics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">10 Best Natural Antibiotics<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Urinary tract infections cause over 8 million visits to a healthcare provider\u2019s office each year.&nbsp; About 10 in 25 women and 3 in 25 men will experience a UTI in their lifetime.
