Nitrofurantoin enteric-coated tablets
Function and Efficacy
This product is an antibacterial drug. Escherichia coli is mostly sensitive to this product, and some strains of Enterobacteriaceae such as Enterobacter aerogenes, Enterobacter cloacae, Proteus, and Klebsiella are sensitive to this product. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is usually resistant to this product. This product has antibacterial effects on Gram-positive bacteria such as Enterococcus. The antibacterial activity of this product is not affected by pus and tissue decomposition products. It is more active in acidic urine. The antibacterial mechanism is to interfere with the oxidoreductase system in the bacteria, thereby blocking its metabolic process.
Ingredients
The main ingredient of this product is nitrofurantoin. Its chemical name is 1-[[(5-nitro-2-furanyl)methylene]amino]-2,4-imidazoledione. Molecular formula: C8H6N4O5 Molecular weight: 238.16

Appearance
This product is an enteric sugar-coated tablet, which appears yellow after removing the coating.
Indication
It is used for acute simple lower urinary tract infections caused by sensitive bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Enterococcus, Staphylococcus, Klebsiella, Enterobacter, etc., and can also be used for the prevention of urinary tract infections.
Usage and Dosage
Oral administration: 50-100 mg for adults, 3-4 times a day. Low doses are used for simple lower urinary tract infections; children over 1 month old take 5-7 mg/kg per day, divided into 4 doses. The course of treatment is at least 1 week, or at least 3 days after the urine culture turns negative. For patients who need to prevent recurrent urinary tract infections, take 50-100 mg per day for adults, before bedtime, and 1 mg/kg per day for children.
Adverse Reactions
1 Gastrointestinal reactions such as nausea, vomiting, anorexia and diarrhea are common. 2 Allergic reactions such as rash, drug fever, granulocytopenia, hepatitis, etc. may also occur. Hemolytic anemia may occur in patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency. 3 Adverse reactions of the nervous system such as headache, dizziness, drowsiness, myalgia, nystagmus, etc. may occasionally occur. Most of them are reversible. In severe cases, peripheral neuritis may occur. Patients with existing renal dysfunction or long-term use of this product are more likely to develop this disease. 4 Nitrofurantoin may occasionally cause acute pneumonia symptoms such as fever, cough, chest pain, lung infiltration and eosinophilia, which may disappear quickly after discontinuation of the drug. Corticosteroids may alleviate symptoms in severe patients. Patients who take the drug for more than 6 months may occasionally develop interstitial pneumonia or pulmonary fibrosis. The drug should be stopped as soon as possible and appropriate treatment measures should be taken.
Precautions
It is contraindicated for newborns, full-term pregnant women, patients with impaired renal function and patients allergic to furan drugs.
Special Population Medication
Precautions for children: It is contraindicated for newborns under 1 month old. Precautions for pregnancy and lactation: 1. Because nitrofurantoin can pass through the placental barrier and the fetal enzyme system is not fully developed, it is not suitable for pregnant women in the late pregnancy and is contraindicated for pregnant women at full term to avoid the possibility of hemolytic anemia in the fetus. 2. A small amount of nitrofurantoin can enter breast milk and induce hemolytic anemia in infants, especially those with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency. Breastfeeding should be stopped when taking this product. Precautions for the elderly: Elderly patients should use it with caution and the dosage should be adjusted according to renal function.
Drug Interactions
1. When drugs that can cause hemolysis are used in combination with nitrofurantoin, there is a possibility of increased hemolytic reactions. 2. When used in combination with hepatotoxic drugs, there is a possibility of increased hepatotoxic reactions; when used in combination with neurotoxic drugs, there is a possibility of increased neurotoxicity. 3. Both probenecid and sulfinpyrazone can inhibit the renal tubular secretion of nitrofurantoin, resulting in increased blood concentrations and (or) prolonged serum half-life of the latter, while urine concentrations are reduced and the efficacy is also weakened. The dosage of probenecid and other drugs should be adjusted.
