Not needed: You wont need a back up method with nitrofurantoin. If it makes you feel better, use condoms for now until you are done your course of antibiotics Best wishes Dr M

Depends ...: How to use nitrofurantoin in your favor depends on your history of recurrent uti and compliance. As a result, there are 3 potential ways to use it: 1. contact doc at ?UTI for confirmation and prescription, 2. on self-testing & self-treatment for 3-5 days as instructed, and 3. continual low-dose suppression. So, ask your doctor so to see which option may fit you, or contact healthtap.com/dr-Lin...
