Infura 100 mg Tablet

Infura 100 mg Tablet is an antibiotic tablet that contains 100 mg of nitrofurantoin in each tablet. It is used to treat certain bacterial urinary tract infections, especially uncomplicated bladder infections caused by susceptible germs. This medicine works in the urinary tract and is not used for colds, flu, or viral infections. Infura 100 mg Tablet is a prescription product made by RPG Life Sciences, India.

How it works: Nitrofurantoin works by entering bacteria and damaging the processes they need to survive and multiply. In tablet form, Infura 100 mg Tablet is swallowed and then concentrates in the urine, where it helps fight the bacteria causing a bladder infection.

Infura 100 mg Tablet is a higher-strength tablet, so it is best suited for adults or other patients whose doctor has specifically chosen a 100 mg dose. Because there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand, this tablet represents the full dose available for Infura and may be selected when the prescriber wants a full 100 mg nitrofurantoin dose in one tablet. It should only be used as directed by a healthcare professional, since the right dosing schedule depends on the infection being treated and the patient’s kidney function.

• Treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infection (UTI)
• Treatment of cystitis (bladder infection)
• Bacterial infection caused by susceptible organisms in the urinary tract
• Doctor-directed antibiotic therapy for lower UTI

• Swallow Infura 100 mg Tablet whole with a glass of water; do not crush or chew unless your prescriber says otherwise.
• Take it with food or milk to help reduce stomach upset and improve absorption.
• Take it exactly at the times your doctor prescribed, even if you start feeling better sooner.
• Finish the full course unless your doctor tells you to stop.
• Do not use it for a kidney infection if your prescriber has not told you to; nitrofurantoin is mainly used for lower urinary tract infections.

Each Infura 100 mg Tablet provides 100 mg of nitrofurantoin. Depending on the infection and your kidney function, a doctor may prescribe it once or twice daily, and the total daily amount should not exceed the amount your prescriber directs; do not change the schedule on your own. Because this is a prescription antibiotic tablet, the exact dose and duration are decided by the doctor based on your symptoms and test results.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
