Niftas Tablet contains nitrofurantoin (100 mg), which acts on your body as follows:
Bacterial Cell Damage: Nitrofurantoin works by damaging bacterial cells and inhibiting their growth. It interferes with several biochemical processes in these cells, which hampers their ability to multiply and spread.
Sustained Release Mechanism: The sustained-release (SR) formulation allows for a steady release of nitrofurantoin over an extended period. This helps maintain a constant concentration of the medicine in your body for prolonged periods, which enhances its antibacterial effect.
