How Cystitis Treatment works
Concentrates in urine
Nitrofurantoin reaches the bladder at high concentration, which is exactly where the infection is.
Damages bacterial DNA
It attacks bacteria in several ways at once, which is why resistance to it remains uncommon.
Short by design
Three days is enough for an uncomplicated infection, and a shorter course reduces resistance.
How to take Cystitis Treatment
- One capsule twice a day
- For three days, with food to reduce stomach upset.
- Finish the course
- Even once symptoms settle, which they often do within a day or two.
- Drink plenty of water
- It helps flush the bladder and eases the discomfort.

Cystitis Treatment questions
Answered by the clinical team. Anything else, and they are happy to help.
Get in touchWhen should I see someone in person?
If you have a fever, back or side pain, blood in your urine, or symptoms that do not improve within 48 hours. Those can indicate a kidney infection, which needs assessing in person.
How does the assessment work?
You answer a short set of questions about your health, your history and what you are hoping for. A UK registered prescriber reads every answer. If anything needs clarifying we contact you before your order is dispensed, and if the treatment is not appropriate we say so and explain why.
How is my order delivered?
In plain, unbranded packaging by tracked delivery, usually within one to two working days of being approved. Nothing on the outside indicates what is inside or who it came from.
Can I speak to someone?
Yes. The pharmacy team is available throughout your treatment, and you can ask for a call with a prescriber at any point. Aftercare is included rather than charged for.
