Dear User,
Thanks for using health care magic.

The dose of nitrofurontoin ranges from 200-500 mg for a adult. It need to be taken in divided doses three times a day.
I like to inform you that nitrofurontoin is a prescription drug and it shold never be taken without medical consultation.
Before you pop another pill see your doctor.
