It’s used to treat and prevent lower urinary tract infections (UTIs), such as cystitis. When you take nitrofurantoin, your body quickly filters it out of your blood and into your pee. This is useful if you have a urinary tract infection because it means the medicine is concentrated at the site of infection.
