Martifur 100 mg Tablet MR

Martifur 100 mg Tablet MR is a nitrofurantoin antibiotic tablet used to treat certain bacterial urinary tract infections. Each tablet contains 100 mg of nitrofurantoin in a modified-release form, designed to release the medicine over time. It is used only for infections caused by susceptible bacteria and is not effective for viral illnesses. Martifur 100 mg Tablet MR should be taken exactly as prescribed by a doctor.

How it works: Nitrofurantoin works by entering susceptible bacteria in the urine and damaging the bacterial processes they need to survive and multiply. As a modified-release tablet, Martifur 100 mg Tablet MR releases nitrofurantoin gradually after swallowing, helping maintain antibacterial levels in the urinary tract.

Martifur 100 mg Tablet MR is a higher-strength option than Martifur 50 mg Tablet MR, so it may suit patients who need a 100 mg modified-release dose rather than a lower-strength tablet. Because it is the modified-release tablet, the medicine is released gradually, which may help provide steadier exposure and less frequent dosing than immediate-release forms. A doctor may choose Martifur 100 mg Tablet MR based on the infection being treated, kidney function, and overall tolerance.

• Treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infection
• Treatment of bladder infection caused by susceptible bacteria

Each Martifur 100 mg Tablet MR provides 100 mg of nitrofurantoin in a modified-release tablet.

Do not change the dose or stop early without medical advice.
