Nitrofurantoin suspension 25 mg/5mL is primarily used to treat uncomplicated urinary tract infections such as cystitis.

Side Effects

Nitrofurantoin suspension may cause mild stomach upset, nausea, or headache in some users. These effects are usually temporary and may lessen as the body adjusts to the medication. Some people report a change in urine color, which is harmless and temporary. Most users tolerate this antibiotic well when taken as directed.

Precautions & Warnings

Keep nitrofurantoin suspension refrigerated between 2°C and 8°C (36°F and 46°F) and discard unused portions after 14 days. Shake the bottle well before each use to ensure even distribution of the medication. Do not use if the liquid appears discolored or contains particles. Inform your healthcare provider about any kidney or liver conditions before starting this medication.

Avoid Interactions

Nitrofurantoin may interact with certain medications that affect kidney function or urinary acidifiers. Avoid using magnesium-containing antacids at the same time, as they can reduce absorption. Some drugs, like probenecid or sulfinpyrazone, may increase the risk of side effects. Alcohol may intensify side effects such as dizziness or nausea.
