Description

Product Introduction

Niftas Tablet SR is a medication primarily used to treat urinary tract infections (UTIs). It belongs to a class of antibiotics known as nitrofurans. These tablets are formulated to release the medication slowly over time, which helps maintain a steady concentration of the drug in the body. This sustained-release formulation is beneficial in treating bacterial infections effectively while reducing the frequency of dosing.

Uses of Niftas Tablet SR

Niftas Tablet SR is prescribed for the following conditions:

  • Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): It is highly effective against bacterial infections affecting the urinary system, including cystitis (bladder infection) and pyelonephritis (kidney infection).
  • Prophylaxis: It may also be used to prevent recurrent UTIs in individuals prone to frequent infections.

Benefits of Niftas Tablet SR

  • Effective Against UTIs: Niftas Tablet SR is specifically designed to target and eliminate bacteria responsible for urinary tract infections. Its sustained-release formulation ensures a prolonged therapeutic effect, enhancing treatment efficacy.
  • Convenience of Dosage: The extended-release nature of Niftas Tablet SR allows for less frequent dosing compared to immediate-release formulations, thereby improving patient compliance and convenience.
  • Minimal Resistance Development: Nitrofurantoin, the active ingredient in Niftas Tablet SR, has a low tendency for developing antibiotic resistance, making it a preferred choice for treating uncomplicated UTIs.

Side Effects of Niftas Tablet SR

While generally well-tolerated, Niftas Tablet SR may cause the following side effects in some individuals:

  • Gastrointestinal Upset: Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. These symptoms are usually mild and transient.
  • Allergic Reactions: Rarely, some individuals may experience allergic reactions such as skin rash, itching, or swelling, which require immediate medical attention.
  • Pulmonary Reactions: In rare cases, nitrofurantoin may cause pulmonary reactions such as acute or chronic interstitial pneumonitis, especially with prolonged use.
