For example, the Infectious Diseases Society of America recommends the use of ciprofloxacin and other fluoroquinolones in urinary tract infections be reserved to cases of proven or expected resistance to narrower-spectrum drugs such as nitrofurantoin or trimethoprim / sulfamethoxazole.

Nitrofurantoin is also contraindicated in babies up to the age of one month, as they have immature enzyme systems in their red blood cells ( glutathione instability ), so nitrofurantoin must not be used because it can cause haemolytic anaemia.

Antibiotics which may be used to treat " E . coli " infection include amoxicillin, as well as other semisynthetic penicillins, many cephalosporins, carbapenems, aztreonam, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, ciprofloxacin, nitrofurantoin and the aminoglycosides.

A more recent 2013 population-based cohort study which used women registered in the Norwegian Prescription Database and linked the subjects to a birth outcomes database, however, found no increased risk of major malformations in neonates born to women who took nitrofurantoin in early pregnancy.

The efficacy of nitrofurantoin in treating UTIs combined with a low rate of bacterial resistance to this agent makes it one of the first-line agents for treating uncomplicated UTIs as recommended by the Infectious Diseases Society of America and the European Society for Microbiology and Infectious Diseases.

These medicinal drugs can include gold and nitrofurantoin, as well as the following drugs used in chemotherapy for cancer : Methotrexate, the taxanes ( paclitaxel and docetaxel ), gemcitabine, bleomycin, mitomycin C, busulfan, cyclophosphamide, chlorambucil, and nitrosourea ( e . g ., carmustine ).
Many types of drugs can cause liver injury, including the analgesic paracetamol; antibiotics such as isoniazid, nitrofurantoin, highly active anti-retroviral therapy used in the treatment of HIV / AIDS . Of these, amoxicillin-clavulanate is the most common cause of drug-induced liver injury, and paracetamol toxicity the most common cause of acute liver failure in the United States and Europe.

It has long been recognized that patients with ILD related to asbestos exposure, drugs ( such as chemotherapeutic agents or nitrofurantoin ), rheumatoid arthritis and scleroderma / systemic sclerosis may be difficult to distinguish from IPF . Other differential diagnostic considerations include interstitial lung disease related to mixed connective tissue disease, advanced sarcoidosis, chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis, pulmonary Langerhan s cell histiocytosis and radiation-induced lung injury.
