Macrobid (nitrofurantoin): I have taken Macrobid in the past, and it is great on clearing up UTI's.

Macrobid (nitrofurantoin): Excellent for prevention of bladder infection in CNS compromised situation.

Macrobid (nitrofurantoin): I hated taking this medicine. My doctor gave it to me because I'm 10 weeks pregnant and it's a safe antibiotic, but it makes me extremely exhausted, and have nausea. I didn't even know I had a urinary tract infection until the routine test came up positive, and the medicine make me feel worse.

Macrobid (nitrofurantoin): Within 8 hours, I was experiencing severe chest pain and shortness of breath. I ended up in ER with all the symptoms of a heart attack. After 7 hours of tests, it was determined that Macrobid caused an extreme allergic reaction. I've never been allergic to anything in my life, and I'm 53.

Macrobid (nitrofurantoin): I am on my seventh day on Macrobid and still having UTI symptoms. I have nausea, headache, abdominal cramping, irritability, loss of appetite, weakness, joint aches, and tiredness. This is the most ridiculous antibiotic that I've ever taken! It makes me feel like I've been hit by a bus and still doesn't seem like the UTI is better.

Macrobid (nitrofurantoin): I have been on Macrobid for a urinary tract infection for 4 days and still do not have relief. I have called my Doctor and he has now prescribed me a sulfa drug. I have used the sulfa drug in the past and it works quick. I am miserable on the Macrobid, exhausted, irritable, weepy, nauseous and a have a headache.

Macrobid (nitrofurantoin): Terrible. Felt like I had the worst case of the flu- couldn't move from the waist down, headache, lack of appetite.

Macrobid (nitrofurantoin): This antibiotic makes me extremely sick to my stomach, caused blurred vision and makes me extremely irritable. If you do take this medication please eat a lot of food before taking.

Macrobid (nitrofurantoin): I have a urinary tract infection and was prescribed this medication along with phenazo, which takes the burn out of urination. They warned me that Macrobid might cause slight stomach upset but I threw up four times in a row last night and feel nauseous all the time (regardless of how much I eat). I had a UTI a few years ago and was prescribed a pill that caused no stomach upset. Why are they prescribing macrobid now?

Macrobid (nitrofurantoin): This drug makes me very drowsy, headache, backache, severe nausea even when taken with food. The pain after urination is still there after 4 days on the drug. The only positive thing so far is that I have not gotten a yeast infevtion which was common with other uriniary tract infection drugs.

Macrobid (nitrofurantoin): I had a urinary tract infection (e-coli) and was taking Macrobid, but after a week, I was still having very discomforting symptoms. In previous UTIs my doctors had given me Bactrim and symptoms cleared up within days. I researched the medicine as soon as I ran out of it, and found that it was more effective in preventing than in treating, and users were prone to recurring infections. I promptly called the doctors the next morning and got a prescription for Bactrim. I was fine not too long after that.

Macrobid (nitrofurantoin): Took for a bladder infection. Felt better after a day or so, but got extremely nauseated, even taking it with a snack. It also makes me so tired, all I want to do is sleep. I have stopped taking it and it feels like I am getting the same symptoms back. I am allergic to sulfa drugs, and this is what Doctor gave me.

Macrobid (nitrofurantoin): I used Macrobid to clear up a UTI. Worked well for the UTI, but a week or so after I stopped the treatment, I broke out in horrible hives. It's been weeks, but I still have flare ups.

Macrobid (nitrofurantoin): My mother, grandmother and I all get frequent urinary tract infections. I felt a terrible one coming and took Macrobid. The discomfort was almost immediately gone. I took it with 2 pieces of toast and had no side effects whatsoever and I am the type of person that usually does.

Macrobid (nitrofurantoin): Extreme diarrhea

Macrobid (nitrofurantoin): I had a low-grade urinary tract infection for weeks that I mistook for a yeast infection, finally went in for a culture, and then took a week's worth of Macrobid. The infection subsided after 3 days, but came back almost immediately after I stopped taking the medicine.

Macrobid (nitrofurantoin): It works! I do have the wonderful side effect of diarrhea a few hours following ingestion of it (even with food) but it's a small price to pay. I am allergic to sulfas and penicillins so there aren't many options. I've taken it before and it works, so I'm happy with it overall. Good thing I only have to take it for 3 days, though.

Macrobid (nitrofurantoin): I found it worked quickly. It's just irritating when you have a headache and are dizzy for a week. The constipation is uncomfortable as well.

Macrobid (nitrofurantoin): Worked well for me

Macrobid (nitrofurantoin): I have a lot of kidney stones so I get a lot of urinary tract infections. I am on Macrobid now and it only took 3 long days to get rid of the fever and feel better. I can't take Bactrim and some others so I don't have a lot of choices, but this really worked for me

Macrobid (nitrofurantoin): Macrobid caused me to have diarrhea.

nitrofurantoin: Macrobid solved the kidney infection but made me extremely ill and I ended up in the hospital for 4 days with pneumonia. It wasn't until day 6 that I became tired, short of breath, rash on my hands, fever, and could not keep anything down. I ended up in ER and my liver counts were elevated, esinophils high, respiration rate poor, oxygen levels low, and chest x ray confirmed pneumonia. I can't take it again.

Macrobid (nitrofurantoin): I am prone to UTI's and never had a problem with this drug before. Took my 2 doses on the first day, with what I thought was no problem woke up on day 2 vomiting. Around 11am I tried a piece of toast, and took my 3rd dose with that. I was then okay til about 4:30, when I was sick again. I have skipped doses 4 and 5 and am waiting to hear from the doctor about calling in a different prescription.

nitrofurantoin: I have been taking this medication for 4 days and still have the same problems, but not only have the infection I now feel like I have the flu, my body feels like I have been hit by a train. I am calling the doctors tomorrow to see if there is something else I can take.

Macrodantin (nitrofurantoin): This medicine changed my life. I used to get urinary tract infections during pregnancy, breastfeeding, after sex all the time, until a doctor prescribed put me on this daily. Never have a urinary tract infection again while on it. No side effects for me, just pain free pee.
