Martifur MR 100 mg Tablet is primarily used to manage urinary tract infections (UTIs). This medicine is part of a group known as antibiotics, which work to fight harmful bacteria in your body.

Besides managing UTIs, it can also be used for the prevention of UTIs in specific scenarios, such as prior to certain surgical procedures. It plays a crucial role in suppressing the growth of bacteria that cause UTIs, therefore helping to reduce the symptoms associated with these conditions.

It's important to take this medicine as directed by your doctor. Before you start taking it, inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or other medications you might be taking. In case you notice any side effects, let your doctor know right away.
