November 1, 2010. ... Nitrofurantoin may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:
* dark yellow or brown urine
* nausea
* vomiting
* loss of appetite
Some side effects can be serious.
I have just got to 3 days on nitrofurantoin for uti, dizziness and headache got too bad as side effects. And now I'm losing my hearing too, no wax. It's inside and pain all over my face. Still dizzy, hearing been getting worse all day. Very quick. It's definitely the nitrofurantoin. I wondered as it says it can swell the salivary glands, cause sore throats and constant cold if it's to do with thst or a part of the nerve damage side effect? Did it resolve for you?
Hi , Gabapin (Gabapentin also called Neurontin) is a neurologic drug probably given for the tingling. But the Nitrofurantoin has tingling as a less common side affect. So it will probably go away when you stop the antibiotic. If it is working she can stay on it until it is finished then the tingling will go away and she can get off the Gabapin too. Gabapin causes sleepiness or tireness as well.
m in my first trimester and I have a urinary track infection, and a doctor at a hospital prescribed me Nitrofurantoin 100 mg , 4 times a day, of course the side effects are worse in me, I guess because of my pregnancy, but I need to know if it's really safe for my baby, I'm not having any problems in my pregnancy, and I don't have any spotting, thanks God. But I had a miscarriage before and I'm very concerned about any pills doctors make me take.
I understand your concern. Nitrofurantoin can indeed result to neuropathies as one of its side effects. This can happen anytime during or post treatment. It varies in severity and very uncommonly may become irreversible. I suggest that you have this looked at by your doctor or a neurologist to assess for other causes. Tests may be in order such as nerve conduction velocity or electromyography to pinpoint the cause. Also report to your doctor any changes in symptoms or progression.
I've been told I have a UTI and was given Macrobid/Nitrofurantoin I've taken 3 tablets but I was just curious on if it was okay to take and I've just read up that people have lost their babies days after taking the tablets?!
Has anyone taken these antibiotics and had a healthy pregnancy?!
Recently I have started several different medications:
-omeprazol for gastritis
-nitrofurantoin for a uti
-adderall for adhd, but i've taken it in the past and never had headaches or nausea
My brief online research indicates that omeprazol can cause headaches, but my headaches/nausea started after I began nitrofurantoin. I haven't seen anything indicating that headaches are a common side effect, but nausea is.
What other meds is she on, the Zantac does sometimes have side effects like upset stomach ,does she still take that at times .?She may simply be a late starter , some light exercises holding her hands and pulling her up to sitting position,regularly . Place some toys near her but out of reach so she has to roll to grab them .. If you are concerned take her back and ask for an evaluation ..
I have been prescribed nitrofurantoin (macrobid) for a UTI. I have a hard time swallowing pills. Can these be broken up?
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?
Do you think it wise bringing a baby/ child into that environment?
It's a hard call and one only you (?and your husband, partner, so) can make in consultation with your own doctor.
I knew someone in a similar situation and she tried to harm her fetus while pregnant and later her daughter attempted suicide (due to the environment the mother raised her in).
Are you in therapy to help address the anxiety?
Iv always suffered with constipation and it gets so much worse during pregnancy it's unreal, haven't had BM in 2 weeks now (sometimes it's longer). I took 1 dulcolax tablet on Monday night, woke up at 4am with stomach cramps. It's been 2 days and the diarrhea is just going away but iv still not had a bowel movement.
Went to see a gastro doctor yesterday who prescribed me Docusate 100mg (Colace).
I didn't have any side effects except pregnancy, lol but some people may have them although not sure about the specific ones you asked about.
Dear Dr, I am female, 32 years old, 17th week of pregnancy. Before pregnancy I didn't use eltroxine .Passed a test on the 13th week - TSH was 5.64 and on te 14th week -TSH was 4.5 and on 17th week is 4.1. My doctor prescribe me to use eltroxin 0.05 mg daily.

Second, After 2 days of eltroxin using i have hear beat faster and flushing!what it does mean?
Hey. I didn't have those side effects from clomid. I took 50 mg days 3-7. The main thing I noticed was hot flashes. I took the pills at night to help with some of the symptoms. Also when ovulation occurred I had horrible cramping and when my cycle finally came (which the clomid made it late) I had horrible PMS. However the clomid did show me ovulating but still no baby. Good luck !
9 days ago Nitrofurantoin (200g a day for 5 days) was taken and daily birth control (Qlaira). Both are known to decrease levels of haptoglobin but nothing about complete depletion.
Could this be an extended effect from Nitrofurantoin? When should the test be repeated ?
I'm more worried about the hair thinning right now. I've seen posts about people thinking their hair thinning is a result of the medication. The side effects I've found is a long list and hair thinning has been mentioned. I'm scared to death and beginning to panic about it.
