Uses of Macfuran Tablet
Treatment of Bacterial infections of urinary tract
Benefits of Macfuran Tablet
- In Bacterial infection
- Macfuran treats the bacterial infection it was prescribed for by killing the bacteria or stopping them multiplying. Finishing the course makes sure the infection does not return.
- In Gut infection
- Macfuran clears the bacteria or other organisms causing diarrhoea, abdominal pain and bloating, so the gut settles.
- In Skin infection
- Macfuran treats infected skin and soft tissue, bringing down redness, swelling and pain.
- In Dental infection
- Macfuran treats infections of the teeth and gums, easing the pain and swelling until your dentist can deal with the cause.
How Macfuran Tablet works
Macfuran Capsule works by entering the bacteria that cause urinary tract infections (UTIs). Inside these bacteria, the medicine changes into active forms that damage essential parts of the bacterial cell, such as its DNA and proteins. Because of this damage, the bacteria cannot grow, repair themselves, or survive, which helps clear the infection from the urinary tract.
How to take Macfuran Tablet
Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Macfuran Capsule should be taken with or after food.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

If you miss a dose
If you miss a dose of Macfuran Capsule, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.
If you take too much
An overdose of this medicine can cause vomiting, severe loose motions and nerve symptoms. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Antibiotics do not work against colds, flu or most sore throats, which are caused by viruses.

Interactions with other medicines
