Nitrofur SR is specifically indicated for the treatment and prevention of urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by susceptible strains of Escherichia coli, Enterococci, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus saprophyticus, and selected strains of Klebsiella and Enterobacter species.
Nitrofurantoin is a urinary tract-specific antibacterial agent. It dissolves readily in urine, sometimes causing a brownish tint. The drug exerts its effect by interfering with bacterial ribosomal proteins and other vital macromolecules, inhibiting bacterial growth.
Active Against:
Gram-Positive Aerobes: Staphylococcus saprophyticus, Coagulase-negative Staphylococci (e.g., S. epidermidis), Enterococcus faecalis, Streptococcus agalactiae, Group D and Viridans group Streptococci.
