Product Description:
RUPI NIFTA® – 100 mg SR is a specially formulated sustained-release tablet of Nitrofurantoin, used for the effective treatment and prevention of uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs), including infections caused by E. coli, Enterococci, and other susceptible organisms.
Its prolonged-release action ensures therapeutic drug levels are maintained in the urine over an extended period, enhancing compliance and minimizing dosing frequency.
Key Benefits:
-
Specific action in the urinary tract without disturbing gut flora
-
Ideal for acute UTIs, prophylaxis, or recurrent infections
-
Sustained release offers twice-daily dosing convenience
-
Less resistance risk compared to other broad-spectrum antibiotics
-
Minimal systemic absorption; focused bladder activity
How It Works:
Nitrofurantoin works by inhibiting bacterial enzymes and DNA synthesis, damaging bacterial cell components and leading to cell death. Its activity is concentrated in the urine, making it highly effective against lower urinary tract infections, including cystitis.
