Each 100mg gelatin capsule contains a specific blend of nitrofurantoin macrocrystals and nitrofurantoin monohydrate. To preserve its effectiveness and combat antibiotic resistance, it should only be used for infections confirmed or strongly suspected to be bacterial. Important safety notes: Macrobid is not suitable for infants under one month old, women in the late stages of pregnancy (38-42 weeks), people with severe kidney impairment, or those with a history of nitrofurantoin-related liver problems or jaundice. Always take Macrobid exactly as prescribed, with food or milk to help prevent stomach upset.
