Nifravon Sr 100 Tablet 15 contains nitrofurantoin (100 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Bacterial activation and reduction: Susceptible bacteria take up nitrofurantoin and convert it using their own enzymes (called nitrofuran reductases) into highly reactive substances that damage the bacteria.
• Multiple target attack: The activated form of nitrofurantoin attacks several vital parts of bacterial cells at once, including proteins needed for building cell structures, genetic material (DNA and RNA), and metabolic pathways (chemical processes that keep bacteria alive).
• Bacterial killing in urine: At the high concentrations reached in urine after an oral dose, nitrofurantoin kills bacteria rather than simply stopping their growth, clearing the infection from the bladder and urinary tract.

• Do not use the medicine after the expiry date printed on the pack.

• Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help flush bacteria from your urinary tract and support the medicine's effectiveness in managing bladder infections.

• Maintain good personal hygiene, especially around the genital area, and urinate soon after sexual activity to reduce the risk of recurrent urinary tract infections.
