From what I could gather, Nitrofurantoin does not list blood clotting as a potential side effect at any dosage. This is not to say it can't happen, but this information is being pulled from government webpages, so there is a certain level of trust that comes with the information provided.

I also researched to see if there were any contraindications or special precautions against those who may already have blood clots, and this does not appear to be a factor in the safety of this medication.

"diarrhea that is watery or bloody" is closest side effect I was able to find on Nitrofurantoin. From my own observation, most blood clots are stemmed from one's dietary habits or smoking habits with cigarettes/tobacco.

I hope this helps!
