macrobid

493068 tn?1224765315 I have had 3 UTIs in last 6 months. How long should I be off the Levaquin I just finished before having a C&S? I was put on Macrobid for 1 year in August after finishing 10 days of Cipro. September 3+ bacteria on Cipro again 10 days then October 29 bacteria 3+ again just completed 10 days of Levaquin. I only had C&S back in August and none since. Is there a better long term med better than Macrobid?. I am allergic to sulfur. I have Sjogren's and urinary stricture.
187316 tn?1386356682 I have just gotten off of meds for a horrible uti. I finished the meds yesterday. They are not to be taken during pregnancy. They are macrobid and metronidazole. Just found out I'm pregnant today and I'm super worried.
Avatar f tn DOES MACROBID CAUSE BLEEDING OR MAKE YOUR MENSTRUAL CYCLE COME EARLY. I JUST FINISHED MACROBID 7 DAY TREATMENT. MY MENSTRUAL CAME 3 DAYS EARLY AND THERE IS BRIGHT RED BLOOD AND USUALLY MY MENSTRUAL BLOOD IS NOT THAT BRIGHT. I INITIIALLY WASNT DUE FOR MY MENSTRUAL UNTIL YESTERDAY I'VE BEEN BLEEDING SINCE THE 3RD AND IM STILL BLEEDING BUT NOT ALOT LIKE I WAS YESTERDAY AND THE DAYS BEFORE BUT THE BLEEDING HAS LIGHTENED.
Avatar f tn I have relapsing-remitting MS and was given Macrobid for a UTI. After my first day of Macrobid, my entire left side has gone numb and i have lost function in it. I do know that the weakness and numbness in one side can be caused by the MS, but it did not occur until i took the macrobid. I was stopped from taking the macrobid and started on it 2 more times and each time the weakness returned. Is there anyway to fix this?

Avatar f tn Did anyone take macrobid for uti during third trimester?
Avatar f tn Has anyone been perscribed, or taken macrobid at the ens of there pregnancy? I was proscribed it. I habe two different drs and im.being induced monday. And it DIRECTLY states dont use it 37 weeks or later or close to delivery. .. im scared and this pregnancy is so freaking hard on me. Im getting to the point of giving up. And i dont want to cause my boy and family need me to fight.
Avatar f tn s like 2 patients being looked at in one study and 20 out of 7,500 patients in another for .27 percent (well below 1 percent) of patients on macrobid. So, that doesn't mean it's NOT happening to you but just that you are a rare person. And because it is so uncommon, there's not a lot of data on it. There is another theory as well. Our hormones are touchy.
Avatar m tn She said they were also doing a urine culture, but its been two weeks and she has not mentioned any results.. Well in less than 48 hours of being on macrobid she said all her symptoms were gone.. MY question is.. Could her bladder infection have been caused by an std (chlamydia, gonorrhea), and if it was would the macrobid have gotten rid of her symptoms or cured it?
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!
362119 tn?1223137936 ok girls.. i got the macrobid filled.. Im just going to take it. Im still nervous about it but, the infection is probably worse for the baby.
666089 tn?1260520261 call the pharmacist in the am. if you are in pain tonight you can take 2 tylenol (NOT IBProfen, Motrin or Advil--these aren't safe). I am currently waiting on tests for a kidney infection. doc has already started me on amoxycillin (just in case) and advised me to take 2 tylenol every 4 hours or as needed (i am not one to take drugs unless absolutely necessary). Will take the tylenol tonight to see if it'll help me sleep.
Avatar f tn I'm 52 and was prescribed macrobid for a UTI. Shortly after taking it I started having really severe heart palpitations. I have had them off and on since I was 29 and have been told it's probably due to my hypoglycemia. I'm very sensitive to certain medications and I looked this one up and it says it should not be prescribed to older people who have a debilitating condition. I am extremely anemic and may have internal bleeding in my intestinal area. My dr.
Avatar m tn t on me and rubbed it in. From everything I have read this is a non risk exposure. 2 weeks later I expereinced frequent urination , and sometimes the urge to urinate even though I didnt need to go. While I had these symptoms I had a upper repsitory infection and was treated with a standrard Z pack and since that didnt work they also put me on doxycycline for a week.
Avatar f tn I'm 10 weeks and I have a UTI. ER doctor prescribed me Macrobid 100mg BID for ten days. Have any one taken this while pregnant? I googled it, and there were a lot of horror stories......just curious to see if others have taken, and there pregnancy remained normal...
9137321 tn?1402710290 I've never had a uti. I'm 27 and this is my first one they put me on macrobid. It seems I'm using the bathroom every 30 minutes. Before I went to doc to see what was wrong I wasn't peeing like this...has anyone has this before? Did macrobid make you pee a lot and tired??
Avatar f tn 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 My lesson learned from Quick-Care is wait for your infection to get really bad before going in to give a lab specimen. Thankfully, based on my symptoms only, they gave me MACROBID (nitrofurantoin.) I didn't feel like it was helping until just after the last pill. But then, 4 days later the symptoms were back again. I have been forcing diet cranberry juice but not getting much sleep, obviously. It is painful to wipe because the tissues are so irritated-I am applying Bacitracin?
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 Macrobid at 38 weeks and had the baby come out fine?
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?
Avatar f tn Hi Most medications are contraindicated during pregnancy especially during the first three months when the unborn child’s organs start to develop. Macrobid is safe in pregnancy after the first 2 months or 8 weeks . Continuing its use will help prevent resistance to the medications later on. A close follow up with your physician is important and just take it as indicated by the doctor. Do not take it more than the intended number of days.
Avatar f tn I also had swelling itching and blisters on my back, face, everywhere on my body. All this was accompanied by swelling in the lining in my lungs that made it very difficult to breathe. It kept coming back for months. It just about killed me.
1088689 tn?1258173691 the only thing they found was some red blood cells in my urine. The doctor prescribed me macrobid anyways...I havent taken them yet because it has almost completely gone away. I have been gorging myself with water, so i am hoping that it was only because i was dehydrated. Any suggestions? Should I take the macrobid anyways?
