Nitrofurantoin
For Urinary Tract Infections
The UTI antibiotic that preserves your gut bacteria.
In brief…
Nitrofurantoin is the other first-line antibiotic for uncomplicated UTIs and has an important advantage: it concentrates almost entirely in the urine, so it has minimal impact on your gut bacteria and carries low resistance risk. The modified-release version (Macrobid 100mg) is twice daily and better tolerated.
