Treatment for vaginal dryness, painful sex, frequent UTIs, and urgency.
UTIs are an infection that happens when bacteria sneaks into the urethra and bladder. Nitrofurantoin (Macrobid) is an antibiotic you can take to kill bacteria that's causing a UTI infection. You can't get UTI medicine like nitrofurantoin or Macrobid over-the-counter, so you'll need a prescription. We offer a telehealth consult for UTI so you can order UTI antibiotics online with no doctor's visit. After checkout, answer some questions about your UTI symptoms. Within hours, a board-certified doctor will review your information and prescibe your UTI medicine for same-day pickup.
If prescribed, you'll receive nitrofurantoin capsules to take orally. Follow the instructions from your doctor and take the medication as prescribed.
Some people will notice improvement within 24 hours of taking UTI antibiotics. It takes about 3 to 5 days for the infection to go away. Make sure you take the entire course of antibiotics, since this is the only way to completely cure the infection.
