AUSTRALIAN PRODUCT INFORMATION- APO-NITROFURANTOIN
(NITROFURANTOIN)
1.
NAME OF THE MEDICINE
APO-NITROFURANTOIN Capsules 50 mg and 100 mg (nitrofurantoin
macrocrystals
)
2.
QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION
Each APO-NITROFURANTOIN capsule contains either 50 mg or 100 mg of
nitrofurantoin.
Nitrofurantoin is a synthetic antibacterial nitrofuran derivative. It
occurs as lemon yellow
crystals, or fine powder, and is very slightly soluble in water or
alcohol. However, solubility
of the drug in water and urine increases with rises in pH.
Nitrofurantoin darkens on exposure
to light or to alkali and is decomposed upon contact with metals other
than stainless steel or
aluminium. In view of this, the drug should not be exposed to light.
Note: Nitrofurantoin macrocrystals is a larger crystal form of
nitrofurantoin. The absorption
of nitrofurantoin macrocrystals is slower and the excretion is
somewhat less, when the two
are compared. The reduced incidence of gastrointestinal intolerance
with nitrofurantoin
macrocrystals 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 macrocrystals capsules
without nausea.’
Excipient with known effect: “lactose monohydrate”. For a full
