Is Nitrofurantoin Safe For UTI While Treating CDI, PE, Hepatitis A And B?

OKay, I have been prescribed nitrofurantoin mono-MCR to guard against a urinary tract infection - using a personal foley system - multiple sclerosis. See that RARE cases of c-diff, lung disease or problems or liver disease/problems may occur. Well, I ve had c-diff, it almost killed me, I have lung damage from a Pulmonary Embolism and Pluresty that occurred and also contracted Hepatitis A and B while in the hospital being isolated/treated for c-diff. As it is only precautionary I am EXTRMELY hesitant to take it. My primary care agrees with me. What are YOUR thoughts? Make that Plueresy or Pluerasy

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

Nitrofurantoin is an antibiotic that is used for treating urinary tract infections caused by several types of bacteria.

It is a very preferred antibiotic for this type of infections.

I may recommend to do a urine culture to confirm the sensitivity of the bacteria before taking it.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
