For the treatment of a UTI

•   Nitrofurantoin is usually given four times each day. This is usually first thing in the morning, at about midday, late in the afternoon and at bedtime.    Ideally, these times should be about 4 hours apart (e.g. 8 am, midday, 4 pm, 8 pm).
•   Macrobid capsules are taken twice each day, once in the morning and once in the evening. Ideally, these times are 10–12 hours apart, for example    some time between 7 and 8 am, and between 7 and 8 pm
• Females have a higher risk for UTIs than most males, probably because of their anatomy; other risk factors for UTIs include any condition that may impede urine flow (e.g., enlarged prostate, kidney stones, congenital urinary tract abnormalities, and inflammation). Patients with catheters or those who undergo urinary surgery and men with enlarged prostates are at higher risk for UTIs.
• Symptoms and signs of UTI vary somewhat depending on sex, age, and the area of the urinary tract that is infected; some unique symptoms develop depending on the infecting agent.
• UTIs are diagnosed usually by isolating and identifying the urinary pathogen from the patient; there are some home tests available for presumptive diagnosis.
• To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of Macrobid and other antibacterial drugs, Macrobid should be used only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by bacteria.
