Taking expired nitrofurantoin is not recommended, as the effectiveness of the medication may be reduced, and it could potentially lead to inadequate treatment of infections. While some medications may retain potency past their expiration date, nitrofurantoin specifically has a risk of toxicity when expired. It's best to consult a healthcare professional for alternatives or replacements if you have expired medication. Always prioritize safety and efficacy when it comes to medications.
Nitrofurantoin is generally considered safe to take with coumadin for urinary tract infections. Avoid Cipro and Bactrim though, especially if taken for longer than 3 days.
If you opened the original container, and if it is not expired, then yes it is safe to take.
No! I had this same question and called the pharmacy. They said that most medications are safe to take if they are expired, however, expired Lyrica is extremely dangerous.
You should consult your Dr, but most will say never take expired medicine.
yes
yes

No. If it was safe, then it wouldn't be expired.
You should not take any medications or dietary supplements that have expired.
no you will get very sick
Expired medicines should ALWAYS be thrown out. They are relatively inexpensive to replace and not worth the risk of taking an expired medication.
You can take anything you want any time....if it works or not depends on your state of mind....
