Good evening Dr. I require your kind advice regarding my mom's medication. You see, my mom had persistent uti & severe e-coli infection last year for which she was prescribed nitrofurantoin 100 mg for 1 year which would completely eliminate her uti & e-coli. My mom however had for only 5 months & quit. It's been 4 months now since she quit, & now suddenly she's experiencing frequent urination, overactive bladder and urine incontinence every other week which continues for 2-3 days. Also there is inflammation during urination. Kindly suggest if there is no harm if she starts nitrofurantoin 100 mg again? And so for how long i.e. Remaining 7 months or any other period?

Hi good evening. From your history about your mother, she has recurrent uti. She should be evaluted for anf underlying causes like diabetes, urinary calculi, or any other condition. Also she needs to go for urine culture and antibiotic suseptability testing. Then we can decide to use nitofurantoin or any other. Call up if requred. Thank you.
