Is Taking Nitrofurantoin Safe While Having Narrow Angles With Eyes?

I have narrow angles with my eyes. I have had laser iridotomy but the angles did not open up, they are still narrow. My doctor just prescribed nitrofurantoin mono-mcr 100 mg. for a UTI infection. Is this medication safe to take with my narrow angle condition?

Hello,

I think you can take Nitrofurantoin if you suffer from narrow ankle glaucoma. Nitrofurantoin will not cause any damages if you take it.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
