A member asked:
Can nitrofurantoin cure orchitis over a long period?was told it has "bad tissue penetration" but my urologist gave me 30 days for orchitis?couldwork?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Again: Nitrofurantoin ,as I commented on another doctor's answer to your question,is not a first choice for orchitis because of very poor tissue penetration.It is more used for uncomplicated UTIs or UTI prophylaxis.You previously asked if it is better to take ciprofloxacin.Again,the answer is "yes".
