I have been taking this drug for 6 days now one in the morning and one at lunch but the pain of feeling the need to go all the time happened this morning it seems to be settling down now but I feel a little bit ichy down thier and have small mucus in my urine. I am a type one diabetic take insulin, pantaloc 40mg (for stomake) paxil 20mg and Wellburtin 100mg my question is should I go see a doctor again if my symptoms dont improve they are improving just worried it came back. ## Hello, Tina! How are you? How much longer will you be taking it? If you're still having such symptoms this far in, you may need a longer course of the antibiotic. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

I took macrobid for a UTI. On the last day I thought I had the flu. Chills, fever, exhaustion, a little nausea and a little pain. The second day of the flu I went to the doctor, and noticed I had a rash developing on my legs. We thought the rash was unrelated to the flu. Two days later the rash is very severe, with purplish spots and climbing up my body. The doctor said he did not advise any steroids but now I'm a little worried. They made an appointment for me for with a dermatologist four days from now but I'm afraid I'll be permanently disfigured by then. Also my ears are ringing. Should I go to an urgent care center? It's Friday night and the doctor will be unavailable over the weekend. ## The FDA does list a non-allergic skin rash as being a possible side effect of ...

Started on Cipro for a week than Dr. switched me to mono/mac 100mg. I have been headachy.. bad and burning up like such hot flashes in the night I took ice bags to hold in my arms to cool me down.

Are there any questions or comments? ## Is it safe to use macorate cr 400 instead of macorate 400? ## Parthan, which one has your doctor instructed you to use?

Can it be taken for ear infection ## Hello, Kim! How are you? If you think you have an ear infection and want to take antibiotics for it that were leftover from treating something else, no you should not do so. The presence of an infection needs to be confirmed by your doctor and then the proper antibiotic prescribed in the proper amount. If you don't have enough to completely eradicate an infection it creates the risk of your developing antibiotic resistant bacteria. Is there anything else I can help with?

I recently found out I was pregnant. Just before I found out, I had a UTI and took Macrobid. I had a blood test at the Dr.'s office soon after I finished the prescription and my HCG levels were very high. Three days later, they were normal again, and ultrasound shows a heartbeat and everything in the right place--not ectopic. I am trying to come up with an explanation for the initial elevated HCG. My thyroid is fine. Could the Macrobid have caused the initial elevation? ## Given that you are pregnant, it is most likely that they just happened to test at the same time your body was producing a high amount of it due to pregnancy hormones, that is normal. You can learn more HCG Information here. Have you discussed it with your doctor? Are you on any other medications?

I have a severe kidney infection, and testing was done ie: xray, ultra sound, to determine if anything worse is going on, but I do not have a doctor's appointment for the results for 1 week. Is this medicine safe for my kidney ? I was prescribed a generic at 100 mg. I am a little concerned about some of the warnings ## Have you contacted your doctor about your concerns? This contains the active ingredient Nitrofurantoin, which is an antibiotic. The current warnings about renal function are actually not conclusive and, if you do have a severe infection, not taking the antibiotic to treat it could be much worse than the possible dangers of using it.
