Nitrofurantoin: Taking 100mg 2x A Day And Started Bleeding

Updated

I have been put on this antibiotic for a suspected uti infection. Since taking it I have started to have a light period. This is unusual for me as I take cerezette and haven't had a bleed for years, can this happen? Anyone else had this? I'm worried that something more serious is going on and not a uti.

Hello, Michelle! How are you?

This antibiotic tends to reduce the effectiveness of oral contraceptives, so essentially, it nullifies them and induces a period, it is normal and the prescribing doctor should have warned you about it, because it also puts you at risk of candy.

The FDA lists its other typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, weight changes and irritability.

Is there anything else I can help with?

Hi and thank you for your reply, after another visit to the doctors yesterday I was told my urine didn't show any infection. But still having very low stomach cramps, spotting and feeling continuous very bad fatigue. I'm now worried I'm getting symptoms of cervical cancer
