A member asked:
I missed a few pills for my uti, and it came back with only 2 pills left to take. can my doctor prescribe me another round of nitrofur-macr for this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not recommended: Nitrofurantoin is a urinary antiseptic it does not treat tissue invasive infection. It also has many serious potential side effects. Get a urine culture done and have another antibiotic chosen based on the culture and sensitivity results.
