Is nitrofur mac 50 good for boils?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: Boils, more often than not, are caused by staphylococci or other gram-positive organisms and Nitrofurantoin is not the therapy of choice, and is predominantly used for urinary tract infection. You need to see a doctor, have the boils opened and cultured and be treated based upon the microbiology lab results. Good luck.
