Nitroxolin is not a penicillin antibiotic, so it can be used for people with penicillin allergies. Its mechanism of action is different from penicillins, which reduces the risk of cross-reaction in people who are allergic to penicillin.
Nevertheless, it is important to tell your doctor about your penicillin allergy before starting treatment with Nitroxolin. Your doctor can then assess your individual risks and benefits of using this medication.
It is important to remember that Nitroxolin is a prescription drug, which means that the decision to use it is made by a doctor after a thorough analysis of the patient's health. If you have any doubts or allergic symptoms while using this medicine, contact your doctor immediately. If you are unable to consult your doctor, you can use the teleconsultation here:

You can check the availability of Nitroxolin through the Szczepolka Clinics and book it at the pharmacy of your choice and pick it up upon presentation of a prescription:
