Not for urethritis: Nitrofurantoin is used to treat urinary tract infections, especially bladder infections. It kills susceptible bacteria anywhere in the body, but especially in the urinary tract. Infections that are only in the distal urethra (urethritis) are usually caused by other organisms such as chlamydia and gonorrhea that are transmitted sexually, and for them nitrofurantoin is not a good choice.
