MacroBID® allows convenient twice daily dosing.

MacroBID® will be fully funded by PHARMAC from 1 March 2021 following a high priority recommendation based on improved compliance, reduced side effects and a lower risk of resistance.

"Antibiotic stewardship is extremely important for all societies across the world. For this reason, it was viewed as important to make available a twice daily formulation of nitrofurantoin which is recommended as first line treatment for acute UTIs.
