Effective mainly with urinary tract infections.
Pharmacokinetics
It is well absorbed from the digestive tract. Bioavailability is 50% (food increases bioavailability). The absorption rate depends on the size of the crystals (the microcrystalline form is characterized by rapid solubility and absorption rate, short time to reach Cmax in the urine). Binding to plasma proteins – 60%. Metabolized in the liver and muscle tissue. T1 / 2 – 20-25 min. Penetrates through the BBB, the placental barrier, excreted in breast milk. It is excreted completely by the kidneys (30-50% – unchanged).
Indications for the use
Infectious and inflammatory diseases of the urinary tract (including pyelonephritis, cystitis) caused by microorganisms sensitive to nitrofurantoin.
Dosage regimen
The dose for adults is 50-100 mg, the frequency of use is 4 times / day. The daily dose for children is 5-7 mg / kg in 4 divided doses. The duration of treatment is 7 days. If necessary, it is possible to continue treatment for another 3 days (only after urine is checked for sterility). With long-term maintenance treatment, the dose of nitrofurantoin should be reduced.
Pregnancy and lactation
Nitrofurantoin is contraindicated in pregnancy and lactation (breastfeeding).

The risk of developing peripheral neuropathy is increased in patients with anemia, diabetes mellitus, electrolyte imbalance, vitamin B deficiency, severe renal failure.
Nitrofurantoin should not be used to treat diseases of the cortical substance of the kidneys, with purulent paranephritis and prostatitis. Nitrofurantoin is not prescribed in combination with drugs that cause impaired renal function.
Contraindications:

Side effects:
