Nitrofurantoin

For Urinary Tract Infections

The UTI antibiotic that preserves your gut bacteria.

POM Prescription required - upload an existing one with your order, or we can assess and prescribe following a consultation.

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.
