A member asked:
Badly bitten by my cat, worried about infection. no insurance, little money. have some nitrofurantoin that expired 5 months ago. is it safe to take?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No treatment needed: Just wash the wound with soap and water. No antibiotic is necessary, and in any case nitrofurantoin has absolutely no effect on any infection except in the urinary tract. Don't take it.
