Nitrofurantoin (Macrobid): Treatment for Lower Urinary Tract Infections

Chamberlain College of Nursing

NR 293 – Pharmacology

Nitrofurantoin is a medication that is only available by mouth but can is found as a capsule,

extended-release capsule, and an oral suspension. Some common brand names for Nitrofurantoin

are; Furadantin, Macrodantin, and the most used is Macrobid (Vallerand & Sanoski, 2017).

Nitrofurantoin (Macrobid) is classified as an anti-infective and is used to treat urinary tract

infections. These urinary tract infections can be gram-negative or gram-positive. Nitrofurantoin

can treat most gram-negative bacteria and some gram-positive bacteria, which include

Staphylococcus aureus, staphylococcus epidermis, and Enterococcus (Vallerand & Sanoski,

2017).

The administration of Nitrofurantoin includes knowing that tablets cannot be crushed,

and capsules cannot be opened, this affects the effectiveness of the medication and the

absorption. Another thing to keep in mind during administration is that when giving an oral

suspension, it is important to shake it well to help distribute the medication equally in the

solution (Vallerand & Sanoski, 2017). Upon giving an oral dose, make sure the patient takes it

with food or milk as this helps with gastrointestinal irritation. As a nurse, it is essential to

educate our patients on taking medication as directed, be sure to inform the patient that this

medication should be taken for a minimum of 7 days and for at least three days after urine is

sterile again (Vallerand & Sanoski, 2017).
