Nifty SR 100 mg
Good afternoon doctor. My mother is a diabetic patient on insulin. Wanted to know that whether Nifty SR 100 mg causes blood sugar level to increase ? And whether blood sugar checking strips that are expired 1 month before shows high sugar levels ? Thank you

nifty sr has nitrofurantoin, usually used to treat uti. It has nothing to do with blood sugar, bt has to be used with caution in patients with renal disease, rather should be avoided.
Regarding sugar checking strips, its better to discard them after expiry
