Your doctor should prescribe you something safe for your pregnancy...not saying that thats not safe because I'm not sure but when I had a UTI I got prescribed amoxcycillon..i think thats how u spell it..the reassured me it was safe for my baby. You can ask your doctor...he/she should know. If your not sure about using it ask for something else?
Are you pregnant? Macrobid is pregnancy category B--- used in pregnancy. Cipro, the gold standard is pregnancy category C--- not the best choice for someone who is pregnant. Amoxicillin isn't the best choice at all for a UTI based on the common bacteria that causes UTI's. Every infection is caused by a specific strain of bacteria. Some antibiotics are going to work better on different strains of bacteria.
Talk to your doctor about this immediately. My understanding is Macrobid has been known to cause problems when taken during late pregnancy:
"If you get recurrent urinary tract infections or if the infection gets into your kidneys, your caregiver may recommend taking nitrofurantoin (trade name Macrodantin or Macrobid) for the rest of your pregnancy to prevent another infection.
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.
Is it safe to take the antibiotics Macrobid and Flagyl together? I'm 20 weeks and have both a UTI and bacterial infection. I know that my doctor wouldn't prescribe anything that would hurt the baby but there's still that lingering doubt in the back of my head that worries it isn't safe. Has anyone ever been pregnant and on both at the same time?
Definitely see your doctor.. It sounds like a uti. The last time I had a uti and didn't get it treated on time it ended up being really painful and causes kidney stones!
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.
Oh my. You are clearly very anxious. You used condoms, are a 'perfect birth control user' and took plan B. Plan B is a major whopping dose of hormones. It's going to throw your system off. Holy hormone overload! I think you are protected from pregnancy but in situations like this, you should get guidance from your doctor. You don't want to do more harm to your system by overdoing the anxious pregnancy prevention!
I among the same Med for 7 days, a friend of mine had a uti almost every month of her pregnancy. They wouldn't prescribed you something unless it was safe for the baby.
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!
