Nitrofurantoin
Furadantin; Macrobid; Macrodantin Logo
Brand name(s): Furadantin; Macrobid; Macrodantin
What other information should I know?
Keep all appointments with your doctor and the laboratory. Your doctor will order certain lab tests to check your response to nitrofurantoin.
If you have diabetes, use Clinistix or Tes-Tape instead of Clinitest to test your urine for sugar. Nitrofurantoin can cause Clinitest to show false results.
Do not let anyone else take your medication. Your prescription is probably not refillable. If you still have symptoms of infection after you finish the nitrofurantoin, call your doctor.

whole wide world has produced a positive antibody response to a
compound of low molecular weight containing a furan grouping that I am
aware of.
Furthermore Nitrofurantoin is not a completely benign medication. It can cause nausea and vomiting, fever, rash, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, and progressive pulmonary interstitial fibrosis.
