Nitrofurantoin is a Prescription-Only Medicine (POM).

6 capsules (3-day treatment)

Nitrofurantoin capsule is an antibiotic commonly used for the treatment of urinary tract infections.

Broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity: Nitrofurantoin is effective against a wide range of bacteria, including many that are commonly implicated in urinary tract infections.

Low risk of antibiotic resistance: Nitrofurantoin capsule has a unique mechanism of action that makes it less likely to contribute to the development of antibiotic resistance.

High concentration in urine: Nitrofurantoin is excreted in high concentrations in urine, making it an effective treatment for infections of the urinary tract.

Minimal absorption into the bloodstream: Nitrofurantoin is poorly absorbed into the bloodstream, which reduces the risk of systemic side effects.

Short treatment duration: Nitrofurantoin is usually prescribed for a short course of 3 days, which can help to minimize the risk of antibiotic resistance and reduce the overall burden of antibiotic use.

Frequently asked questions

The fastest way to cure cystitis is to seek medical advice and receive appropriate treatment, which usually involves a course of antibiotics prescribed by a healthcare professional.

 While there is no instant cure for cystitis, you can take steps to alleviate symptoms in the short term, such as drinking plenty of water, avoiding caffeine and alcohol, taking over-the-counter pain relief medication, and using a hot water bottle on the lower abdomen.

In some cases, mild cystitis may go away on its own without treatment. However, it’s important to monitor your symptoms and seek medical advice if they persist or worsen, as untreated cystitis can lead to more serious complications.

Cystitis is usually caused by bacteria, most commonly Escherichia coli (E. coli), which normally lives in the bowel. Other factors that can increase the risk of developing cystitis include poor hygiene, sexual activity, the use of certain types of contraceptives, and medical conditions such as diabetes.

Cystitis is a type of urinary tract infection (UTI) that affects the bladder, while other types of UTIs can affect different parts of the urinary system, such as the kidneys or urethra. Symptoms of cystitis typically include pain or discomfort during urination, frequent urination, and bladder discomfort, while symptoms of other types of UTIs may include fever, back pain, and nausea.

Foods and drinks that can irritate the bladder and worsen symptoms of cystitis include caffeine, alcohol, spicy foods, citrus fruits and juices, and artificial sweeteners.

While stress can weaken the immune system and increase the risk of developing infections, it is not a direct cause of cystitis.

The duration of cystitis can vary depending on the severity of the infection and individual factors. Mild cases may clear up on their own within a few days, while more severe cases may require several weeks of treatment.

Drinking plenty of water can help to flush bacteria out of the urinary tract and alleviate symptoms of UTIs.

The best medicine for cystitis is a course of antibiotics prescribed by a healthcare professional. The specific type and duration of antibiotics may vary depending on the individual case and severity of the infection.

You can buy a course of antibiotics from Online Chemist, simply fill out a consultation form and order it.

The start of cystitis may feel like a burning sensation or pain during urination, increased urgency and frequency of urination, and discomfort or pressure in the lower abdomen.

Natural remedies for cystitis may include drinking plenty of water, avoiding irritants such as caffeine and alcohol, using a hot water bottle on the lower abdomen, and taking over-the-counter pain relief medication. However, it’s important to seek medical advice for appropriate diagnosis and treatment, as untreated cystitis can lead to more serious complications.
