NITROFURANTOIN BNM 1 AUSTRALIAN PRODUCT INFORMATION - NITROFURANTOIN BNM (NITROFURANTOIN) CAPSULE 1 NAME OF THE MEDICINE Nitrofurantoin 2 QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION Nitrofurantoin BNM is available in 50 mg and 100 mg capsules. NOTE: Nitrofurantoin BNM (nitrofurantoin macrocrystals) is a larger crystal form of nitrofurantoin. The absorption of nitrofurantoin is slower and the excretion of nitrofurantoin is somewhat less, when the two are compared. The reduced incidence of gastrointestinal intolerance with nitrofurantoin is probably due to delayed and decreased absorption; this however does not significantly reduce clinical effectiveness. A number of patients who cannot tolerate nitrofurantoin tablets can take nitrofurantoin capsules without nausea.
