Effective Treatment for UTIs
Deshalom Nitrofurantoin 100mg is an antibacterial medication specifically formulated to treat and prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs). It is commonly used in Nigeria for what is often colloquially referred to as "toilet infections." The active ingredient, Nitrofurantoin, works by targeting and eliminating the bacteria responsible for these infections, such as E. coli.
How it Works
Nitrofurantoin is a nitrofuran antibiotic. Unlike broad-spectrum antibiotics, it concentrates in the urine, making it highly effective for infections located in the bladder and urinary tract. It stops bacterial growth by interfering with the bacteria's ability to produce vital proteins and DNA.
Usage and Dosage
This product comes in a pack of 10 tablets. It is a Prescription-Only Medicine (POM). The standard treatment for an acute UTI often requires a longer course than a single 10-tablet pack provides. Therefore, it is essential to follow the specific dosage prescribed by your doctor or healthcare provider. Always ensure you complete the full course of antibiotics to prevent resistance, even if you start feeling better after a few days.
