Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.
Do not chew, crush, or break the tablet.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of Niftas Tablet. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Nausea and vomiting: Try taking Niftas Tablet with food or milk to lessen this effect.
Disulfiram-like reaction: Avoid consuming alcohol while taking this medication to avoid this reaction.

Niftas Tablet contains nitrofurantoin (100 mg) and acts on your body in the following ways:

Bacterial DNA disruption: Nitrofurantoin disturbs the process of bacterial DNA synthesis, thereby impeding the formation of new bacterial cells.
RNA synthesis inhibition: By disrupting RNA synthesis, Niftas Tablet hampers the creation of proteins that are crucial for bacterial survival and growth.
Protein synthesis disruption: Nitrofurantoin's action on protein synthesis further compromises the bacteria's ability to multiply and spread within your urinary tract.

This three-pronged action helps manage bacterial infections in your urinary tract effectively.
