UTIDOM 100 SR tablet contains 100mg of Nitrofurantoin, an antibiotic which is used to treat and prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by susceptible bacteria. This tablet eliminates the bacteria that are responsible for the infection, provides relief from uncomfortable urinary symptoms and supports faster recovery. The sustained-release (SR) formulation releases the medicine slowly over time and helps to maintain a steady level of the drug in the body for long-lasting action. This improves treatment effectiveness and reduces the need for frequent dosing.
For better results, UTIDOM 100 SR tablet should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor, and the full course of treatment should be completed even if symptoms improve earlier.
