Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I felt unwell recently yesterday, so I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor prescribed me Furandantin tablets, but after taking them, I experienced peripheral neuritis multiple times. What should I do, doctor? Should I just stop taking the medication?Doctor's answer:
The situation you mentioned should be caused by the side effects of furazolidone. You should immediately stop using this medication, drink plenty of water in sufficient amounts, and promptly seek a follow-up consultation at a regular public hospital's neurology department to confirm the diagnosis. Specialized doctors can use treatments such as neurotrophic agents, vitamins, and corticosteroids based on the actual condition, which tend to be effective. At the same time, pay attention to your diet. It is curable.
