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

"I got prescribed Macrodantin before I read these reviews. I’ve been on it now for only 2 days, and I’m dying sick. However, it cleared up my bladder infection almost immediately! I have awful flu symptoms, exhausted, and no appetite at all. I’m cold all the time and just feel terrible overall. I’ve decided to come off the antibiotic because I can’t continue feeling this way. Seriously consider what this drug does to your body before taking it!"

"I have been on this medication for 4 days now for an ongoing bladder infection. The only side effect so far is that I feel very nervy in the mornings until I get enough food into me to counteract it. I also went out last night and had one glass of wine, and my whole face, neck, and chest went bright red for at least half an hour and felt very hot."

"Just caused the worst side effect to my lungs after using this for over a year. Where is the GP or specialist that must have warned me against these symptoms or kept me recorded in progress with this medication? According to my lung specialist, this medicine is poison to the human body."

"Prescribed Macrodantin for a mild bladder infection. 2 doses of 100 mg per day. I take them after a meal. The only side effect I have is a pounding headache. I've 1 tablet left to take, and I feel like my bladder infection is gone too. Still a dull ache at the bottom of my back, but that could be unrelated. The headache is real though."

"After my bladder operation, I get UTI and bladder infection. First, my G.P. gave me Cipro 500 mg twice daily and Trimethoprim 300 mg once daily. After 1 week, I stopped Cipro because there was not any relief and continued just Trimethoprim for 2 or 3 weeks, it did not help. After, G.P. gave me Augmentin for 10 days, it did not help. After, G.P. gave me Macrodantin 100 mg twice daily for 2 weeks, and at the end of the second week, all symptoms disappeared, but G.P. said I need to continue to take 100 mg once a day for 6 weeks. I finished it 3 weeks ago, and until now, I have not had any infection. I think it works very well."

"After kidney surgery for a kidney stone 52 years ago, I developed urinary infections. I have been treated with Furadantin many times. I did not know that this drug can cause peripheral neuropathy, which I have now. This condition is quite debilitating. Yes, the drug was effective, but I have to deal with the side effect."
