Nitrofurantoin 25 Mg/5ml Oral Susp
UpdatedI was diagnosed with Trigonitis and my gyn has prescribed Nitrofurnantoin oral suspension ( cannot swallow pills) to be taken at bedtime for 5 weeks. I also have nodules in my lungs which from time to time my pulmonologist will order a chest x ray or cat scan. No significant changes but my pulmonologist will periodically order a chest x ray or cat scan. I do not have any breathing problems etc. Will this new medication be bad/cause complications for my lung issue?

Nitrofurantoin is an antibiotic more commonly known for its use in treating urinary tract infections. No one can honestly know for sure how this medication will end up effecting you overtime, until you have tests done periodically.
From what I've researched on my own, there are some potential adverse effects that can impair the respiratory system, such as trouble breathing, chest tightness, or shortness of breath. However these are generally signs constituting an allergic reaction (which isn't too common).
5 weeks is a long time to be taking an antibiotic for, so you may also want to load up on probiotics to help replace any good bacteria that might've otherwise been destroyed by the medication.
I hope this helps!
