For Urinary Tract Infection "After having a lot of urine infections for the past year, I am now back on Macrodantin 50 mg, 4 times a day for 7 days. Makes me feel yak, headaches, keeps me awake, slightly dizzy, feel tired a lot. Then doctor wants me to take a low dose of it for 6 weeks. Will keep you posted if it actually works this time. I have my doubts."

For Urinary Tract Infection "I was prescribed this to be taken 4 times daily for 3 days. My UTI symptoms were gone by the first day. I have now finished the course, and my UTI is gone. This medication worked great for the infection. I did not experience any serious side effects except some tiredness, a 'spaced out' feeling, and on the 2nd day, I did feel very 'down', not sure if that was because of the medication. However, on the third day, I feel fine."

For Urinary Tract Infection "I am 45, and I am currently taking Macrodantin to treat a UTI. Never have I ever felt so bad taking medication. I initially thought my body was fighting the infection, but it wasn’t the case. I am now taking the medicine (4x100mg/day). I feel very tired, very dizzy, I have diarrhea. My breathing is not great, and I feel a bit confused... definitely not myself. Also, pains in my fingers... I can't wait to finish the treatment tomorrow. On a positive side, the infection seems gone as urine is clear."

For Bladder Infection "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!"
