I do not have a bladder infection but doctor prescribed it for the kidney infection. But the info given with prescription says it should not be used for infections outside of the bladder.
Nitrofurantoin - Is this used for kidney infection?

My uncle was on it for 7 yrs. A low dose for urinary tract infection. I do not think it will help kidney infection. I would- get back a hold of your doctor. Hope this info helps.
