It works by killing the bacteria in the bladder that cause these painful and uncomfortable illnesses. It is commonly prescribed for treating uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs) and is a safe and effective treatment option for those suffering from this infection.
Nitrofurantoin belongs to a class of medications known as antimicrobials or antibiotics, which are a group of drugs that work in a similar manner to treat similar conditions.
