Martifur Tablet is an antibiotic that fights bacteria. It is used to treat and prevent uncomplicated urinary tract infections. It works by killing the bacteria that cause such disease. But, it will not treat a viral infection.

Martifur Tablet should be taken in the dose and duration as advised by the doctor. You may take it with food to avoid nausea, which is a common side effect. It is better to have this medicine at the same time each day to get the most benefit and you should keep on taking this medicine for as long as you are prescribed it, even if your symptoms quickly improve. If you stop taking it too early the infection may return or worsen.

Some people may develop side effects like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. These side effects are usually temporary and go away during treatment as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if these side effects bother you or do not go away. This medicine may turn your urine into dark yellow or brown colour. But, this is normal and nothing to worry about.

Before starting treatment with this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or suffering from any liver, kidney or heart problems or if you are allergic to any antibiotic.

Dr. Ila Jain Khandelwal

Pathologist

Dear PATIENT you for sharing your reports with me. It suggests the following things: 1. Your LDL Cholesterol in blood is high, which suggests hyperlipidemia. For this, you should have a diet rich in green leafy vegetables, fruits. Avoid fried, fatty and processed foods. Exercise for at least 30 minutes a day for at least 5 days in a week. Your TSH level is marginally low, but the T3 and T4 levels are normal. Your lymphocyte count in blood is high, which can be due to some viral infections. The pus cells in your urine are also high, which suggests some element of urinary tract infection.
