Can nitrofurantoin be used safely during pregnancy and what evidence supports its use in breastfeeding mothers to manage urinary tract infections without harming the infant?
Nitrofurantoin is considered safe during pregnancy for treating UTIs, especially in the second and third trimesters, except near term. It is excreted in breast milk in small amounts but is generally considered safe during breastfeeding.
