A member asked:
My wife has been prescribed nitrofurantoin 100mg twice daily for 1 week for uti with ecoli. she is now 35 weeks pregnant. is it safe to take this dru?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably: Nitrofurantoin use may be contraindicated in pregnant patients in whom labor is imminent. Nitrofurantoin is commonly used to treat urinary tract infections in pregnancy. Animal studies have not demonstrated a problem with fetal exposure to this antibiotic. The fda lists this drug as probably safe for pregnant women.
