Is Nitrofurantoin The Right Medicine For Enlarged Prostate?
I have been prescribed Nitrofurantoin by my doctor. This is for an enlarged prostate gland. I find that the drug is for difficulty in urinating. My problem is urinary incontinence. Since starting the drug my problem is getting more acute. Is this normal
