Common Questions and Answers about Macrobid and kidney disease

macrobid

Avatar f tn Does anyone know if macrobid affects eGFR or is this level an induction of possible kidney infection/disease/cancer? I have been experiencing dizziness and nausea which one doctor said was labyrhinthitis (I did have a confirmed bacterial ear infection) but an ENT disagreed and said I still had to compensate from the bacterial infection (5 months ago). Just want to make sure there's nothing else I'm missing.
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 f tn I am 16 wks. pregnant and my OB prescribed Macrobid for UTI, i had urinalysis and small amount of blood was noted. I told my OB that my urologist said that im always will have blood in my urine beacuse of hx. of cyst in my kidney so I requested to have urine culture prior to taking Macrobid, my OB is insistant to start the med. since it is going to take awhile for culture results to come back. so im already in my 4rt day of the meds.
Avatar f tn Hi.. has anyone else taken macrobid for uti?? Is it normal to feel horribly sick with it? How did you all deal with the nausea? My doc gave me reglan but it doesn't seem to be helping and I'm hardly half way with macrobid.. I've been non functional while taking it and it's getting worse every day. Any advise on dealing with it will be appreciated..
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 n tn She was taking macrobid for kidney infection in jan. but rash did not begin until feb. she has seen primary care, infectious disease control and allergy doctos and none of them can tell her what it is or what causes it. Biopsy says bacterial fungus, but steroids and antibiotics not helping.
Avatar f tn t take and the infection traveled up into my kidney and I had a kidney infection. I had to be admitted to the hospital for 3 days and put on antibiotics thru an IV.
Avatar f tn I took my course of macrobid 3 weeks ago and all is well . Im wondering if those cases u saw were in the first trimester. Im sure our Ob doctors wouldn't give us unsafe meds knowing we are pregnant.
6320170 tn?1380347497 they gave me a strong dose of IV antibiotics, and sent me home with macrobid and had done a cat scan and saw I had kidney stones.I was seen again on 9/8 and was given a fifth antibiotic for the UTI.I had another lab done on 9/16. was seen on 9/17 and after all this time of complaining my vagina was on fire they finally did a pap culture. And turns out I had BV and a yeast infection. They also called and said my urine culture came back and to discontinue my antibiotic.
Avatar f tn I was taking it for a UTI & double kidney infection. But now, my period is not due for another 2 weeks. And I know of 2 other women in their 40s who did experience the same thing with the bleeding. I just want it to stop. So annoying.
Avatar f tn Is Benign Fasciculations Syndrome progressive? I don't drink, smoke or drink caffeine beverages. I lead a fairly relaxed life as a housewife. I don't exercise other than chasing children around. This past year while taking medications for a kidney infection (7 day course) I started to experience muscle twitching (legs, biceps, buttocks, etc.) that moved from muscle to muscle every few minutes. It then progressed to occurring in several muscles (2-6) consecutively.
1355431 tn?1369975306 She said it is safe during pregnancy but I have read so many post from woman online who say macrobid caused them problems nor even miscarriage. I have had 3 miscarriages and this pregnancy seems to be going really well. So im very nervous to take this med. Do any of you ladies know of any natural ways to get rid of a uti? Also if you have taken this med during pregnancy, what was the out come?

Avatar m tn So, about two weeks ago I started feeling just a slight pressure when I would urinate. I have a very tough time with my pretty little flora down there (recurrent yeast infections, recurrent BV) etc. I figured maybe it was an onset of another infection so I just brushed it off and tried to eat lots of yogurt and drink a ton of water to flush out whatever might be striking.
Avatar n tn You did comment that it was unlikely that the uti med(macrobid) could have cleared something up???? What disease could the med cleared up?I do remember even after taking macrobid i had a very pronounced lumbar pain mainly left side.I felt as if my kidneys were infected as well.I experienced chills but no fever.I did get lab result in rhumatoid factor -28.I am 42yrs.old.My last urinalysis neg.Please help me.
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 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 Due to pain in my lower left side, I was referred to a urologist. I've had bladder infections most of my life (I'm mid-forties now) and I recognize this pain. Usually the Macrobid prescription did its thing and I could go on. When the pain didn't subside from what I thought was a recurring bladder infection (UTI) I had to ask my PCP for a referral. After a scope and a CAT scan, he told me I have and atrophic left kidney.operating at maybe 20%.
666089 tn?1260520261 do you know if it is still safe to take my other medication while taking this , im on diclectin for my morrning sickness and now the macrobid , i cant get ahold of a doctor or pharmacist at this time ( past midnight) ?
1088689 tn?1258173691 I have a history of kidney stones and UTI (with pregnancy and without) and I went in for blood in my urine and back pain...and they said that my urine was clear (no infection) and everything else looked fine..but that because of the blood they prescribed macrobid as a preventative. I did NOT take it, and I think I should have.
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.
2176548 tn?1340677817 Anyone here had a kidney infection before? What helps for pain? And how long does the pain normally last??
Avatar f tn But then two days after finishing the antibiotics, the symptoms came back and I had abdominal pain and kidney pain. I went back to the walk in clinic and was put on Macrobid for five days. After five days however, none of my symptoms seemed to be gone. I went to immediate care and they gave me another five days of Macrobid. I finally started feeling better by the 7th day on Macrobid. I took about two weeks to get rid of the UTI, and then I felt fine for about another two weeks.
