Uribid 100mg (Nitrofurantoin) - 150 Tablets

Uribid 100mg is a trusted antibiotic medication containing Nitrofurantoin, specifically formulated to treat and prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs). In Nigeria, UTIs are often referred to as "toilet infections" due to the common symptoms of burning sensations and frequent urination. Uribid provides effective relief by targeting the bacteria directly in the urinary tract.

Key Benefits of Uribid 100mg

• Targeted UTI Treatment: Effectively clears bacteria like E. coli that cause bladder infections (cystitis).
• Relief from "Toilet Infection" Symptoms: Helps stop the burning pain and urgency associated with urinary tract discomfort.
• Sustained Release Formula: This product is formulated as Sustained Release (SR) tablets, allowing for consistent levels of the medicine in your system.
• Prevention: Can be used as a long-term solution for those who suffer from recurrent infections under medical supervision.

How Uribid (Nitrofurantoin) Works

Nitrofurantoin is a unique antibiotic that concentrates specifically in your urine. This makes it incredibly effective at killing bacteria in the bladder and urethra while having less impact on the rest of your body's healthy bacteria.

Dosage for UTI and Toilet Infection

For acute urinary tract infections, the standard adult dosage is typically one 100mg tablet twice daily (every 12 hours) for 5 to 7 days. It is best to take Uribid with food or milk to improve absorption and prevent stomach upset.

Note: Always complete the full course prescribed by your healthcare provider, even if you start feeling better after the first few doses. Stopping early may allow the infection to return.

Nitrofurantoin in Pregnancy

A common question is: "Can a pregnant woman take Nitrofurantoin?". While it is generally considered safe during the first and second trimesters, it should be avoided during the final weeks of pregnancy (weeks 38-42) as it may affect the baby. Always consult your doctor or a GoMed pharmacist before taking this or any medication during pregnancy.

Important Precautions

• Kidney Health: Inform your doctor if you have any history of kidney disease, as dose adjustments may be needed.
• Side Effects: Common side effects include nausea, headache, or dark-colored urine (which is a harmless effect of the medicine).
• Alcohol: It is advisable to avoid alcohol while treating an infection to help your body heal faster and avoid dizziness.
