For Bladder Infection "I was prescribed this one-dose antibiotic by my doctor. How convenient, I thought. Really potent stuff that did nothing for me but made my symptoms worse. I was surprised that after 5 days, no sign of it working aside from a violent twitch in my eye, bloating, urinating up to 6 times in a row in pain, and a bit of diarrhea. Also surprised not finding anything on what I have experienced. Also surprised that no one in the reviews suggests alternatives. After five days of pain, I went to my pharmacy because I was running out of toilet paper, and in the natural products section, a man told me to take VitaCist, Sisu vitamin C, and probiotics. After the first dose of VitaCist, considerable improvement."

For Bladder Infection "This is about the fourth time I have used Monurol. Started fine and couldn’t believe how quickly it worked. I now find whenever I take Monurol, I suffer from stomach pain and bloating about 2 weeks after. I am not only having that problem, but now pain in my right kidney and waking up nightly with it. Don’t know what I will do next, as I have found antibiotics in the past have made me ill."

For Bladder Infection "When the doctor prescribed me this, I thought, 'Woah, how simple? How has no other doctor prescribed me this before?' I have had enough bladder infections in my time to be well-versed in the medications they commonly prescribe, so when I found this, I was a bit shocked I had never heard of it. Now I know why... It made the burning sensation go away for about half a day (which cranberry juice can also do), and it made me painfully bloated. The bladder infection was seeking vengeance the next day -- I will never touch this medication again! What a waste of time - only made things worse!"
