Uriron Nitrofurantoin 100mg SR Tablet

Uriron 100mg SR Tablet contains Nitrofurantoin, an antibiotic that belongs to the class of nitrofuran antimicrobials. It is primarily used in the treatment and prevention of urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by bacteria, such as E. coli. Nitrofurantoin works by inhibiting bacterial enzymes and proteins essential for their growth and replication, ultimately leading to the destruction of the bacteria.

The sustained release (SR) formulation allows for a slower release of the active ingredient, which provides extended antibacterial action and helps maintain therapeutic drug levels in the body over a longer period.

Uriron is most commonly prescribed for acute uncomplicated UTIs, and it is also used for long-term prophylaxis in individuals prone to recurrent UTIs. Patients are typically advised to take Uriron with food to enhance its absorption and reduce the risk of stomach upset. The course of treatment should be completed as prescribed by the healthcare provider to prevent bacterial resistance.

Patients taking Uriron should ensure adequate hydration and monitor for any symptoms of allergic reactions, such as rash or breathing difficulties. This medication is generally well-tolerated but may cause minor side effects like nausea or discoloration of urine
