For Bladder Infection "Do not take this drug! Took it while in Singapore, single dose, as I thought it would be easier than a 5-day course. I have been so ill with diarrhea after every meal, nausea, and stomach cramps. This is my 5th day and still not well. I have no appetite and exhausted."

For Bladder Infection "Took it for a bladder infection. Two days later, had really bad abdominal pain. I started shivering, then collapsed. Woke up soaking wet with sweat, had to call an ambulance. A week has passed since taking it, along with probiotics, and I still have to run to the toilet with loose diarrhea."

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 "Monurol worked for like 2 days only! Burning came back, foul smell in urine came back after the 3rd day. Will not recommend this medication. It gave me the worst diarrhea of my life. First, I was dealing with infection, now I have to deal with diarrhea as well. My doctor will be prescribing another set of antibiotics. What a waste of my time and money."

For Bladder Infection "Took a single dose and urine smelled less foul, and I think I am free of infection, but not diarrhea, I’m afraid. Very urgent motions nearly every time I pass urine. Hope it doesn’t last more than a week."

For Bladder Infection "Lower UTI symptoms subsided 24-48 hours after taking Monurol. One dose is good for 3 days. Today is the 4th day and I don't need to take a second dose as I am relieved. However, the side effect is bothersome since I took this. I have extreme vaginal itching. Also slight abdominal tenderness and minor diarrhea. But the vaginal itching is problematic. I can't focus and can't sleep. Did anyone experience this? Is this normal? How long will I wait until this goes away? What can I do?"
