Hi doctor! does nitrofurantoin active against mrsa. or if mrsa present in prostate like bacterial prostatitis how good is nitrofurantoin penetrate into the prostate? or suggest any antibiotic against mrsa which is good to penetrate . thanks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nitrofurantoin is not effective agains staph (MRSA or any other type) and does not penetrate well into the prostate. It is not for treat prostatitis. The best drug will be determined by lab testing of the MRSA strain isolated. A fluoroquinolone (like ciprofloxacin and related drugs) or doxycycline might be considerations. Discuss with your doctor, preferably a urologist and/or infection specialist
