Chetfuran Tablet

Chetfuran tablet contains the active pharmaceutical ingredient nitrofurantoin. It is an antibiotic used to prevent and treat infections of the bladder, kidney, and other parts of the urinary tract. It works by killing the bacterial organisms that cause infection. Do not take this medication if you are allergic to nitrofurantoin, other medicines containing nitrofurantoin, or other ingredients. Consult your physician if you are pregnant or breastfeeding or have kidney disease, blood disorders, or G6PD (glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase) deficiency. Inform your physician if you have diabetes, lung disease, liver problems, nervous disorder, or any other illness that causes severe weakness or tiredness, anaemia, lack of vitamin B, or any other abnormal blood values. Chetfuran tablet is not recommended for children below 3 months of age. Report to your doctor if your urine is dark yellow or brown in colour, fatigue, yellowing of the skin or eyes, itching, skin rashes, joint pain, abdominal discomfort, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, or pale or grey coloured stools after taking this medicine because these may indicate liver problems.

Chetfuran tablet exerts its antimicrobial action by inactivating or altering bacterial ribosomal proteins and other macromolecules. As a result of this inactivation, the important biochemical process of protein synthesis, energy metabolism, DNA, RNA synthesis, and cell wall synthesis are inhibited in the bacteria.
