Avatar f tn I just recently went to the ER for severe pain in my back, stomach, and burning upon urination whenever that was; meaning sometimes I didn't...I'm diabetic but lately I've had 7 uti's just this year alone but this is the first time I've ever been put on Macrobid...usually this drug is given for kidney or bladder infections...
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 f tn I've been told I have a UTI and was given Macrobid/Nitrofurantoin. I have taken 3 tablets but out of curiosity I looked them up on the internet and it said some women have lost their babies days after taking the tablets. Has anyone taken these and had a healthy pregnancy?!
Avatar f tn Macrobid at 38 weeks and had the baby come out fine?
Avatar f tn I had a cough and congestion for about 3 weeks before the doctor was able to diagnose me with a sinus infection. He gave me 875mg of Amoxicillin-twice a day for 10 days along with ZyrtecD and Mucinex. I finished the antibiotic and one of the others at the same time. Two days later, I was still coughing--post nasal drip. I had finished all the meds so I bought some more Mucinex and started that again. In another 2 days I was still had post nasal drep so I started Claritin.
876847 tn?1240239287 Hello, Routinely vibramycin(tetracycline) is not prescribed for sinus infections as the antibiotics of choice for sinusitis are usually penicillins,macrolides,fluorquinolones or cepahalosporins.However if you want to take tetracycline antibiotics,then pls inform your PCP about it before taking it. I hope that helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.Kind regards.
Avatar n tn i'm 23y/o i live in alaska and i've been using a cpap machine for about a year now. in the past 2 months i've had 2 sinus infections. i have never had a sinus infection prior to this. Can this be due to my cpap machine?
Avatar m tn Hi, I battle lot's of infections, mainly sinus/upper respiratory, almost monthly, my wbc is not high but always elevated. Was sent to hematology, but clinic only deals with blood cancers, which I do not have. Antibiotics work, Amoxicillin, Bactrim, etc.... but infections always returns. What physician or specialty clinic, deals with chronic infections ? So, I can discuss with my primary doctor for referral, thanks.
Avatar f tn I understand not wanting to take meds while pregnant but you need to weigh the pros and cons. Especially for infections. If left untreated it could get worse and cause you to go into labor prematurely.
666089 tn?1260520261 I took macrobid almost every month that I was pregnant with my first son! It worked well when I could keep it down. There was no side effects except turning your pee an orangish color!
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.
Avatar f tn Everytime my fiance and I have sex a few times in one night or 3 days in a row or so I get UTI's...I am anal about peeing after sex...I always do, but for some reason I still get UTI's. I have also been tested for chlamydia and that came out negative. It is just very frustrating to go through this and I'm really worried about our honeymoon!! Anyone have any ideas? I take canberry supplements and drink cranberry juice a lot too! I am just at a loss...
Avatar f tn Ever since I have requested macrobid as the others still have failed to work. Now it appears as if macrobid no longer works. Also, for two years I have had blood in my urine (even when I don't have a UTI). I was also diagnosed (when this first recurrent infection occurred) with interstitial cystitis (sp?), but after seeing a new urologist last fall and undergoing a procedure to look inside my bladder, he told me I did not and took me off of Elmiron.
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 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.
1123420 tn?1350561158 I Was Told That Bladder Infections Can Lead To preterm Labor. I Have Them Regularly And They Were Actually Part Of the Problem I Had Trying To Get Pregnant For Almost A Year With No Luck. They Can Get SeveRe Enough To Put You In The Hospital And Can Also Lead To A Kidney Infection Which Can Ultimately Result In infection In Your Blood Stream And Affecting Your Entire Body.
Avatar m tn Im on the nuva ring right now and i dont want to get pregnant, im on a drug called macrobid to prevent bladder infections, dose macrobid interfere with the effectivness of the nuva ring or should i get an iud? am i even old enough for an iud, im 19?
Avatar n tn She started me on Macrobid and told me to take another test. When reading the leaflet for the home pregnancy test it says antibiotics can effect the resulst so should i take the test or wait till the antibiotics are done.
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 n tn Which tooth was removed? If it was an upper tooth, you may have a sinus infection possibly and need antibiotic treatment.
Avatar n tn So I went to the Doctor on monday morning. He took a urine specimen and gave me Macrobid. I took all the antibotic and still did not feel well. So I went back to doctor and took another urine specimen and gave me Bactrium (a Sulpha drug). I took all the antibotic and still did not feel well. I went back to doctor and he told me that there were no signs of infections in urine just blood (was not on period). He gave me another round of Macrobid.
Avatar f tn I’ve been suffering from IC for 5 years now and for some odd reason Nitrofurantoin/Macrobid seems to work well for me, even when my urine culture comes back negative. I take it (100 mg X 2 for 10 days) when my IC flares and within a few days the symptoms are essentially gone. They often come back 3-5 months later, but at least it works temporarily. My doctors have no idea why this medication works, but it’s been working pretty consistently for the past 3-4 years now.
Avatar n tn I was perscribed Macrobid today for a UTI however I cannot swallow pills, therefore I opened up two capsules that I have taken so far and simply put them in apple sauce is this okay?

485536 tn?1209178017 For the past five or six years of my life, I have been getting sinus infections. I get them, am treated sometimes for a week, and sometimes, all the way up to three weeks. I usually feel better for about two weeks, when my symptoms present again, and I am told I have another infections. I typically get seven or eight a year. I have mild allergies to dust and grass, which I receive allergy shots for.
