The active ingredient in URIFAST CAPSULE 15 is nitrofurantoin (100 mg). The medicine works on your body in the following ways:

Interaction with Bacterial Proteins: Nitrofurantoin interacts with bacterial flavoproteins, which are then reduced into reactive intermediates.
Disruption of Essential Biochemical Processes: The reactive intermediates alter or inactivate vital proteins and other macromolecules in the bacteria, disrupting essential biochemical processes needed for the bacteria's survival.
Bactericidal Effect: These actions make nitrofurantoin lethal to bacteria in urine at therapeutic doses.

If you are pregnant, URIFAST CAPSULE 15 is not advised for use from 38–42 weeks. It's essential to consult your doctor before taking this medicine during pregnancy.

Breastfeeding

Antigout medications: Sulfinpyrazone, a medication used for managing gout, can potentially interact with URIFAST CAPSULE 15, altering its effectiveness or increasing the risk of side effects.
Magnesium-containing Antacids: These antacids can interfere with the absorption of nitrofurantoin present in URIFAST CAPSULE 15, impacting its effectiveness.

Drug-Food Interactions

Foods rich in fibre may reduce the absorption of nitrofurantoin, decreasing the overall efficacy of URIFAST CAPSULE 15.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Anuria: In individuals suffering from anuria (non-passage of urine), this medicine may not work effectively due to poor urinary excretion.
