Nitro Macro for Bladder Infection User Reviews

"I was prescribed Macrobid from a walk-in clinic with a practitioner who treated me before when I couldn't get into my primary. I have had asthma my whole life, but dose 1, I woke up coughing harshly and needed my inhaler. Since that's kind of 'normal' for me, I didn't think it was the Macrobid. My boyfriend said that day that it didn't seem like my normal asthma cough, though. By the third dose, I was still waking up coughing and short of breath. The kicker was the chest pain. That is NOT something I relate to my asthma. I had triple the use of my rescue inhaler. That's definitely not right. I'm not going to take it anymore because it's the only different thing in my regimen. Waiting for my regular doctor and psych doctor to get back to me for possible contraindications. I will update this if I find out there are and what the meds might be."

"Went to the urgent care center Friday, Christmas Eve, as I knew I had a bladder infection, but my regular doctor was on vacation. They prescribed this medication. I took one dose Friday evening, and by Christmas morning, I had a fever of 103.5, was shaking violently with the chills, and so nauseous I had to make myself throw up and had a horrific headache. The fever did not break until the day after Christmas, where I spent another day of nausea, headache, and a mild temperature of 99.5. Now it is Sunday and feeling about better but still headache, and the pressure I feel every time I get up is awful. Will never allow this medication in my system again. It was like being given a bad drug... ruined my holiday."
