High-quality reference materials for precise residue analysis of Nitrofurantoin.

Overview

Nitrofurantoin is an antibacterial medication from the nitrofuran class, primarily used to treat urinary tract infections (UTIs). It is not as effective for kidney infections. Nitrofurantoin works by damaging bacterial DNA, leading to bacterial death at high concentrations found in urine.

Uses

Nitrofurantoin is used to treat uncomplicated UTIs and as a prophylactic measure for individuals prone to recurrent UTIs. It is considered one of the first-line agents for treating uncomplicated UTIs due to its efficacy and low rate of bacterial resistance.

Regulatory

Nitrofurantoin is available by prescription only in many countries, including the US, UK, and Australia. It is classified under various legal statuses such as S4 in Australia and Rx-only in the EU.

Monitoring

Regular monitoring is essential for patients on Nitrofurantoin, especially those with renal impairment or the elderly, to avoid systemic accumulation and potential toxicity.

Health Impact

Human Toxicity

Common side effects include nausea, loss of appetite, diarrhea, and headaches. Rarely, it may cause numbness, lung problems, or liver issues. Nitrofurantoin is generally safe during pregnancy but not recommended near delivery due to potential risks.

Environmental Impact

Effects on Wildlife

Residues from nitrofuran veterinary antibiotics, including Nitrofurantoin, have been found in various animal products, leading to concerns about environmental and wildlife impact.

Safety Measures

Safety measures include contraindications for patients with decreased renal function, babies up to one month old, and those with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency. Adverse effects must be closely monitored and managed.

Regulation

The use of Nitrofurantoin in food-producing animals is prohibited in the EU, US, Australia, and several other countries due to its potential carcinogenic effects and genetic damage in rats.
