Effective Treatment for Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)
Deshalom Nitrofurantoin 100mg is a potent antibacterial medication primarily used for the treatment and prevention of acute and chronic urinary tract infections (UTIs). In Nigeria, these conditions are frequently described as "toilet infections" due to the symptoms of burning or discomfort during urination.
The active ingredient, Nitrofurantoin, is a nitrofuran antibiotic that concentrates specifically in the bladder. This makes it highly effective against common urinary pathogens such as E. coli, Enterococci, and Staphylococcus saprophyticus.
How to Use Nitrofurantoin Tablets
Nitrofurantoin works by interfering with the bacteria's vital processes, effectively stopping the infection at the source.
- Dosing: This is a Prescription-Only Medicine (POM). It is typically taken twice daily or as directed by your physician.
- Course Completion: It is crucial to finish the entire course of treatment, even if symptoms disappear after a few days, to ensure the infection is fully cleared and to prevent antibiotic resistance.
- Pack Size: This pack contains 10 tablets. A full course for an acute infection may require more than one pack.
