Patient/caregiver was educated on precautions to be exercised while taking Nitrofurantoin as follows:
- Take the medication dose for the duration prescribed without fail. The dose and length of treatment depends upon the medical condition, severity of infection, and response to treatment.
- Your physician could change the dose of Nitrofurantoin, based on the response and side-effects developed. Maintain compliance with follow-up physician appointments and be accommodative to the plan of dose changes, until you show an optimum response.
- If you miss a dose, try taking it at the earliest notice of noncompliance. If it is time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and take the dose scheduled. Do not take an extra dose to try making up for the missed dose. Notify your doctor and other health care personnel regarding your dose noncompliance.
