Urine infections are incredibly common.
So common that more than one of my patients asked me to do a video on this topic!

Anyone can get urine infections but they're most common in women with most women experiencing one in their lifetime.

The symptoms of a urinary infection (or UTI) are usually pretty obvious - peeing more than usual and with "urgency", burning and stinging when you pee and sometimes tummy pain or blood in the urine.

There are a few things that increase the risk of UTIs, like pregnancy, menopause and diabetes but either way, they're usually straightforward to spot and can be managed remotely most of the time.

Some UTIs improve with time and no treatment other than water and rest but most need antibiotics as bacteria is the usual culprit. Other over the counter treatments and home remedies are not evidence based (ie there is not enough evidence to definitely recommend them) but most are safe to try if you want to give it a go.

UTIs improve quickly but if you notice that it doesnt, or you have new symptoms or feel unwell with the urinary symptoms, you need to see your doctor.

Hope everyone is doing well! In this video, we talk about nitrofurantoin (Macrobid) and its role in treating a urinary tract infection (UTI). Nitrofurantoin is an antibiotic that is typically only prescribed solely for a UTI and does not have much purpose otherwise. I talk about common dosing, side effects, and why it is so commonly used for UTI.

Nitrofurantoin (Macrobid) – Uses, Side Effects, Mechanism of Action, Dosage, Interactions, Warnings
Nitrofurantoin (Macrobid, Macrodantin) is a nitrofuran-class antibiotic used primarily for treating uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, and Staphylococcus saprophyticus. It is not effective for systemic infections or pyelonephritis due to poor tissue penetration. Nitrofurantoin works by disrupting bacterial enzymes critical for protein, DNA, RNA, and cell wall synthesis, reducing resistance development. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, while serious risks include pulmonary toxicity, peripheral neuropathy, and hemolytic anemia in G6PD-deficient patients. Typical dosages include 100 mg twice daily for 5–7 days for UTIs and 50–100 mg once daily for prophylaxis. Renal impairment, pregnancy near term, and chronic use require caution due to increased toxicity risks. Interactions with antacids, probenecid, and live bacterial vaccines can reduce effectiveness or increase side effects.

Nitrofurantoin is a nitrofuran that acts as an antibacterial agent that is used for treating urinary tract infections.

This medication is available as capsule containing 25% of macrocrystal form and 75% of monohydrate form. It has slow rate of dissolution that causes less gastric side effects. However, nitrofurantoin can cause hepatotoxicity and peripheral neuropathy. In people with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, it may cause hemolytic anemia.

Dr O'Donovan explains to patients key facts about an antibiotic used to TREAT AND PREVENT UTIs like cystitis called Nitrofurantoin. This is also known by its brand names: Aratoin, Furadantin, Macrobid, Macrodantin.

According to the NHS (UK):

"Nitrofurantoin is an antibiotic. It's used to treat and prevent lower urinary tract infections (UTIs), such as cystitis.

When you take nitrofurantoin, your body quickly filters it out of your blood and into your pee. This is useful if you have a urinary tract infection because it means the medicine is concentrated at the site of infection. But it means nitrofurantoin will not work for any other types of infection.

Nitrofurantoin is available on prescription. It comes as capsules, tablets and a liquid that you swallow."
