macrobid

Avatar f tn I went to UC for kidney infection/kidney pain in my lower back rt hand side. The symptoms were severe the night before. Left a urine sample and was told i have a bad bladder inf. Dr prescribed macrobid. Then next morning my lower back was hurting again, same spot. Will macrobid help clear up a kidney infection?
Avatar n tn Or can I still have an infection or could the infections have damaged my bladder? I dont know what to do. Any suggestions????
Avatar f tn Uti or bladder infection. My doctor proscribed me macrobid. Terrified to take it, anyone else had to use this while pregnant, I'm only 8 weeks!
Avatar m tn Never heard of a STD causing a bladder infection. Yes bladder infections are caused by bacteria but STD's stay localized where the infection took place. Also some medications can cure a STD, but never heard of anyone saying that would cure a STD.
Avatar n tn My stomach feels more tender and kinda like an empty feeling.. Also my low abdominal pain is off and on still..and I've been takin my macrobid for 3 days now for my UTI.. Is this normal? Or could I have something else rather than a bladder infection.
Avatar f tn Hey Jenn...I was keeping rx's of both Macrobid (I, too, found it worked best, infection or not) and Pyridium (specific for bladder pain, and is now an otc med) on hand because I 'thought' I was getting frequent UTI's. However, most of the time when I went to Urgent Care, the urinalysis came back 'negative'. Sometimes it was 'positive', but rarely.
493068 tn?1224765315 Within 48 hours of stopping macrobid symptoms came back culture showed ecoli again and same macrobid for 7 days. Then symptoms returned and again ecoli put inpt on imipenem for 10 IV doses and dc with macrobid for 7 days. Then culture positive for ecoli again now ESBL. No UA has ever shown WBCs but cultures grow bacteria and frequency, urgency, nocturia and burning present. Can you have a UTI with NO wbc's present in UA and bacterial growth on culture? Thanks for your input.
Avatar f tn I was then placed on a low dose of Macrobid for 3 months. So now another month after cystoscope and 3 weeks on antibiotic and bladder control medication I have had good and bad days. Some days I feel good and normal then other days I feel like my symptoms are back. I have done a lot of reading to educate myself on how to get better so I changed my diet and have eliminated any bladder irritants, drink only water and started taking supplements to hopefully help heal the inflammed tissue.
Avatar n tn i had a bladder infection on 21st of august... I was on macrobid for the infection but when she did the test for bladder infection it showed no bacteria.. just blood and a trace of protein so i guess i was just starting one??? Took the macrobid it made me feel way better.!

Avatar f tn Well back in November I got a bladder infection the week before my outbreak and was treated and I was fine. Well last week I got another bladder infection, and had a prescription for macrobid so I completed the course, and subsequently came down with a yeast infection. Treated that, and now I have my monthly outbreak, except I woke up with the bladder issues yesterday, I'm afraid of taking antibiotics, and I don't have insurance. My question is can HSV2 cause bladder, UTI issues?
Avatar f tn I was on macrobid for a UTI at the time of collection (started on macrobid Saturday, had 4 doses by the time of collection on Monday morning, blood work as fasting so last dose taken before blood collection was over 12 hours previously). Does anyone know if macrobid affects eGFR or is this level an induction of possible kidney infection/disease/cancer?
5601615 tn?1383450616 I was given macrobid at 20 weeks for a uti my dr said it was safe to take while pregnant. Im now almost 32 weeks and baby is fine. Although i think she said yeast infections were common with it I never got one. These sites online may not be the most reputable so I wouldn't listen much. Plus if you dont take meds you could end up with bladder or kidney infection.
Avatar f tn I had passed a kidney stone 2 days ago and got a bladder infection. I was placed on Macrobid 100mg and noticed I was bleeding and my period doesn't start until next week. Is this normal?
Avatar f tn I found out tuesday that i have a pretty horribly UTI after swearing i had a yeast infection. I was put on Macrobid 1 pill twice a day for 7 days. This is day is day 3 of the pills and i was wondering how long until it starts working? i am not in nearly as much pain as I was, but the pain with urination is still there slightly and get worse at night.
Avatar n tn I had recently went to the doctor for a bladder infection. The doctor said the results came back negative and there was a lot of water in my urine. She asked if i could be pregnant, she then ran a pregnancy test the first one came back positive and the second came back negative. She started me on Macrobid and told me to take another test.
414032 tn?1202507622 I did not have a bladder infection though. But I have been given procardia for 3 weeks.. I had a couple days in the beginning where I was a little dizzy when I stood up quick,,from the meds. But then, I got used to it and fast. Today I was taken off of the meds,, as it is now safe for me to deliver... so who knows how quick I will go into labor now.. just gotta wait and see I guess..
Avatar f tn Hi I looked this up, it used to be called Macrobid. It is just for bladder infections so that is good. If your doctor knows about your liver, I think this would be safe. I am not a doctor but I also have compensated cirrhosis and always worry about antibiotics. I learned that penicillin or penicillin family is the safest. In your case, it sounds like it is worth it to use it. Good luck!
Avatar f tn than last time, but alas, the infection is still there. She prescribed a sulfa based antibiotic for me to use for two weeks, and told me to return yet again to see what happens. She told me I should return to my gynecologist immediately to get the hpv lesions removed (I'm using aldara cream for them currently), and to talk to him about the urinary tract infection. I'm really not sure why yet ANOTHER antibiotic hasn't worked on me or why the gynecologist needs to evaluate the uti?
Avatar f tn So, right now I am being treated with Macrobid for a bladder infection, Valtrex for possible HSV, and a cream yeast infection treatment. I was given a hospital-grade topical ointment containing lidocain for the burn. The doctor said that regardless of what the problem is, it should be gone in a few days. I am very unhappy with this conclusion, as I want to know for sure if I have HSV or not, obviously.
Avatar f tn s this pregnancy, therefore I have been put on macrobid for the remaining of my pregnancy. I have to take 1 every night until I deliver. Started @32 weeks am now 35+5. No problems from it yet. I haven't had any syptoms of uti so I would never known if it weren't for the urine soles at Dr. Office.
2080231 tn?1444933585 I have a bladder infection and have been on macrobid for almost four days and it still burns when I pee. Should I wait it out or call my doctor?
1123420 tn?1350561158 I was on antibiotics for a bladder infection I didn't even know I had. They say the infection could cause more problems then the antibiotics. (I guess preterm labor is the risk with a bladder infection)I've been taking cranberry pills since the infection to try to prevent future infections. Most importantly drink plenty of fluids.
551604 tn?1333983135 Macrobid is the black and yellow pill. Ialso heard no Bactrim, you can take amoxacillin. and Macrobid that everyone has mentioned.
Avatar f tn Almost about a week ago, I went to the ER because I had no control over my bladder one night and when I went to the bathroom a lot of blood was coming out. I am 19 years old, female, and I’ve dealt with UTI’s all my life. The doctor told me I could have a kidney infection based on the symptoms. He prescribed me Cephalexin for 10 days. The bleeding stopped and the pain after urination. I decided after day 4 to switch to Macrobid and it is day 3 and I still have mild urgency. What do I do?
