Macrobid MR is a modified-release preparation of nitrofurantoin, an effective antibiotic that targets bacterial infections. It is typically used to treat urinary tract infections (UTIs), such as cystitis. Macrobid tablets should help to relieve any UTI symptoms within a few days.
Macrobid works by being absorbed from your blood and into your urine. Its antibiotic properties then pass through the site of the Urinary Tract Infection (UTI), allowing Macrobid to directly target the site of infection. This means that Macrobid will not work for any other kinds of infection.
Macrobid antibiotics are not suitable for the treatment of pyelonephritis (kidney infections) or other deep tissue infections.
