Rezfuran 100 mg Tablet

Rezfuran 100 mg Tablet contains nitrofurantoin 100 mg in each tablet. It is an antibiotic used to treat certain bacterial urinary tract infections (UTIs), especially uncomplicated infections of the bladder. Rezfuran 100 mg Tablet works only against susceptible bacteria and is not used for viral infections like colds or flu. This product is supplied as a 100 mg tablet by Abbott Healthcare Pvt. Ltd. in a strip/box of 10 tablets.

How it works: Nitrofurantoin works by entering bacteria in the urinary tract and damaging the proteins and genetic material they need to survive. In this tablet form, the medicine is swallowed and then concentrates in the urine, which helps it act where the infection is located.

Rezfuran 100 mg Tablet is a higher-strength nitrofurantoin tablet, so it is meant for people whose doctor has decided that 100 mg per dose is appropriate. Compared with lower-strength nitrofurantoin products, each tablet delivers more medicine at once, which may fit standard adult dosing schedules when a prescriber wants fewer tablets per dose. Because this is a stronger tablet, it should be used exactly as prescribed rather than adjusted on your own.

• Uncomplicated bladder infection (cystitis)
• Bacterial urinary tract infection caused by susceptible germs
• Treatment of infection symptoms such as burning or frequent urination when prescribed
• Prevention of recurrent UTIs in selected patients when directed by a doctor

• Swallow Rezfuran 100 mg Tablet whole with a full glass of water.
• Take it with food or milk to help improve absorption and reduce stomach upset.
• Take it at the same times each day if your doctor has prescribed repeated doses.
• Do not crush, split, or chew the tablet unless your pharmacist or doctor specifically tells you to.
• Keep taking the full prescribed course even if you start feeling better.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is close to the next dose; do not double up.

Each Rezfuran 100 mg Tablet provides 100 mg of nitrofurantoin. How often it is taken depends on the infection being treated and your kidney function, and your doctor decides the exact schedule. For many adults, nitrofurantoin is prescribed in divided doses or once daily for prevention, but the total amount per day should not exceed the amount your prescriber specifies for you.

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