The coroner's concerns
1. lung damage from Nitrofurantoin
“There is a known, albeit rare side effect of Nitrofurantoin, of it causing lung damage. Nevertheless, neither the deceased himself, nor the clinicians involved in the deceased's urinary care, who due to its specialism also have a prescribing function, were aware of the risk of lung damage from Nitrofurantoin.”
