I have been prescribed nitrofurantoin (macrobid) for a UTI. I have a hard time swallowing pills. Can these be broken up?
It also says that the colony count of the bacteris is 1,00,000 cfu/ml. Hence, doctor prescribed some medicines like Uribid with nitrofurantoin in it, Prothiaden M, Montemac FX for allergy and Hifenac-P for fever and also Cital syrup for UTI. My mother continued the course for one week, now fever and tiredness have decreased, but the burning sensation continues. Is this mixture of tablets fine, or any other suggestion or recommendations for treating this urinary tract infection of K.Oxytoca.
PS -- I neglected to say that Macrodantin is the brand name of generic nitrofurantoin, which is the name used in the information above.
A couple of weeks later I developed a urinary tract infection. Urologist prescribed nitrofurantoin for the infection. Immediatedly after starting the antibiotic my ears gradually starting feeling clogged. Now, two weeks later, they are both very clogged (no wax buildup) and I can barely hear. Logic tells me the ear clogging is somehow connected to the nitrofurantoin. Has anyone ever experienced this or heard of this happening? Will this clogging go away by itself?
Hi Paul
I know this was a long time ago, but I feel like I'm experiencing the neurological side effects of nitrofurantoin. It's not just a tingling in my hands, my muscles spasm and tremor in the night time. I am jolted awake sometimes. There's a fuzziness in my head that comes and goes and makes me feel like I'm going to convulse. I'm terrified that this is irreversible.
I have recently been feeling unwell and have recurring UTI’s and been on Nitrofurantoin. I also take levothyroxine for an under active thyroid.
I recently had a LFT and my ALT was 934. My GGT was 140 and bilirubin 37.
I am having an urgent scan tomorrow but the drs seem at a loss as to what is causing this? Any advice or help?
I have visited the doctor 3times and the last tested I did. He told I had almost nothing in terms of UTI and in my partner there was an indication that she had UTI, and we were both put on medication, but after the medication, I still feel the pain. We have not been meeting with my partner. And from day one, from the time I started having these pains my partner has never complained of any pains showing of any symptoms related to the infection. How can I go about this, I also did a scrotum scan.
Hi I had sex a few weeks ago and within 24 hours I had erection problems and testes shrunk . I did a gonorrea and chlamedia test both were negative . I had blood in my urine +3 not seen by the naked eye.
The doctor could see no infection so she made me do a kidney function blood test. The kidney blood test was fine . So I read online that blood can give me a Uti.
Since taking the Nitrofurantoin, my back pain comes and goes, jumps in severity, sometimes subtle, sometimes severe, my penis seems a little sore (mainly urethra) and testicle area too. Very mild though. I also get sweats (like a hot flush), shakes, random sharp itches and mild tingling in my hands. Perhaps these are side effects of the medication? I’ve read a few are possible.
As I say, urine samples all appeared normal. All blood tests also show no concern to any bodily functions.
short duration course of a basic antibiotic such as nitrofurantoin may be suggested in low grade infection. With the part history of chronic infections, the dose/ duration of the antibiotic may not be irrelevant in the scenario; though in the current situation, treating the primary cause i.e. the fistula may be suggested, to avoid complications.
43 male only after sex will have pain in buttochs testicles sore prenium sore some slight leg pain last 12 to 24 hrs then goes a way.I am fine but if i have sex the symptoms will apear in about 2 hrs.Have tried antibiotics for prostate possible infection.I have seen a MD many times but nothing conclusive any ideas.
ve also got a case of epididymitis (nuts on fire). Current antibiotic is Nitrofurantoin Macro. Urologist told me to come back in 3 months while my health and quality of life *****!!! What are some other options for treatment? Original culture was Coagulese negative Staph.
i see little blood spots and slight pain when i urinate,i have not had sex in 12years and in my twenties.i recently started masturbating(which was two days ago) and my menstruation took seven days(which is normal for me). a week after i had my 7-day-period this begins.what might be wrong with me.and i will be writing exams in three days can this cause problems?
We have appointment with urologist in April (soonest we could get in). I’m so worried there is a greater problem going on. We also had kidney ulttrsound and it came back normal. Any advice or ideas of what might be causing this? We started doing only showers in January and she wipes correctly. This is also the first we’ve dealt with this kind of issue. Thank you.
I have been prescribed Nitrofurantoin by my Gastroenterologist and I am afraid to take it! Thank you!
Im just very anxious sence my last pregnancy my baby didnt developed he stoped growing at 6 weeks ...well my question is does the medication nitrofurantoin mono mac makes the baby development stop? does it interfear with my pregnancy? do i have anything to worrie about?
I took nitrofurantoin for a UTI infection and finished my course on Tuesday morning. Yesterday (Friday), I noticed what appears to be hives (small raised bumps with no redness, they didn’t itch) on my legs. I counted 13 - primarily on my thighs and shins. They appear to be gone today, but after I took my puppy for a walk this morning, I noticed small red bumps on my feet and they itched. Is this an allergic reaction to the antibiotics?
My 5 year daughter has high feever, stinging when weeing, abnominal pain, lower back pain and has started weeing the bed and can not always make it to the toilet on time - she has been prescribed Nitrofurantoin - are these all the normal symptoms of a UTI or could there be something else.
My ultra sound was normal, as well as the urinalysis (taken when no symptoms of a uti were present). I then started taking Nitrofurantoin Macrocrystal (a daily antibiotic or taken after sex, also called Macrodantin). The UTIs went away during this time. However, my prescription has expired and the UTIs are back. Does anyone have experience with long term antibiotic treatments? How long does typical treatment for chronic UTIs last? I am worried about taking antibiotics for more than a year.

( and it said that late in pregnancy it caused severe jaundice that causes brain damage.. Im not going to take it anymore but i am terrified...
I am allergic to PCN and Cipro and have been given Nitrofurantoin for 7 days. I am very afraid to take it. Does anyone have any experiences with it or can recommend other meds to take?
Thank you for any suggestions!
I'm a 40 yr old female with history of UTIs. Approximately 7-8 in the last year. I yet again have another
infection. I'm soooo tired of dreading to go to the bathroom and being on medication all the time. My Physician said the white blood cell count in my Urine is "through the roof" at around a 1000. What could cause the cell count to be so high? I am an active person, eat a decent diet although it could be better on the vegetables.
It burns when I pee, my vagina smells of a mix of cheese and fish but my discharge doesn't smell! I have a creamy subtance building on the outer of my vaginal lips, and that also smells of cheese - no matter how much I wash! My wee burns more after sex and my vulva gets really swollen. Can anyone help with the diagnosis of this? I have been to the doctors various times but no one can seem to pin point the issue. I have been given trimethoprim and nitrofurantoin before but haven't helped!
