Hello,

I evaluated your query in details. Niftas (Nitrofurantoin) is very effective molecule for urinary tract infection. It works excellent provided your infective pathogens are not resistant to the molecule. Side effect profile includes nausea, abdominal cramps, tingling, peripheries, fever, chills, rashes, yellowness of skin color, dark urine, itching in some cases otherwise well tolerated.

Suggestions for you to get better recovery:
• Urine microscopy to rule out hepatitis by checking for bile salts, pigments in the urine
• Plenty of liquids orally
• Cranberry sachet once daily in a glass of drinking water, organic citrus fruits with chewable vitamin C supplements help a lot

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
