Drug Category:
Macrobid is categorized under the following by the FDA: Anti-Infectives; Anti-Infectives; ATC:J01XE01

Dosage Forms:
TABLET

Absorption:
Not Available

Interactions:
-->Interactions for Nitrofurantoin:

Antacids containing magnesium trisilicate, when administered concomitantly with nitrofurantoin, reduce both the rate and extent of absorption. The mechanism for this interaction probably is adsorption of nitrofurantoin onto the surface of magnesium trisilicate.

Uricosuric drugs, such as probenecid and sulfinpyrazone, can inhibit renal tubular secretion of nitrofurantoin. The resulting increase in nitrofurantoin serum levels may increase toxicity, and the decreased urinary levels could lessen its efficacy as a urinary tract antibacterial.

Drug/Laboratory Test Interactions

As a result of the presence of nitrofurantoin, a false-positive reaction for glucose in the urine may occur. This has been observed with Benedictís and Fehlingís solutions but not with the glucose enzymatic test.
