My doctor found blood in my urine 3 weeks ago. She gave me antibotics and they did not work, so I then got a new perscription of antibotics and they did not work. She did a culture and found it was a bacterial infection. Last week I took my next antibodics and they did not work. Now I am on med # 4, Nitrofu-Macr... I took only 1 so far and I feel like heck!! Is this normal? My drugest did not say anything special about it, only it is an antibotic. What else can I feel with this? ## Have you consulted your doctor? At this point, it is difficult to say if your symptoms are due to the medication, the infection, or possibly both. Its normal side effects may include: nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and fever. Learn more: ## Two years ago my wife was given Cipro for a UTI, 500mg twi...

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?

light yellow, 50mg. I have developed a very itchy rash on my arms, I have open sores and they burn like a shingles blister. I think it is this med. Has anyone else had this kind of reaction? It is making my skin lumpy and they are unbearably itchy. I have blood stains on my sheets and pillowcases due to scratching in the night while asleep. ## Have you contacted your doctor? A non-allergic skn rash can be a normal side effect, but this really sounds like a more serious problem than that and you might need to switch to a different medication.

I have been having recurrent utis for a long time, so I went to a specialist (urologist) to see what was causing them and if he could do something to stop me from getting them as much. I usually get one every 3-5 weeks. Very frequently. He put me on nitrofur and at first it seemed fine like it was working but then I started feeling REALLY sick. This past week and a half I have been in pain & I have been feeling drowsy, tired, weak, and like my body is shutting down. I have been hurting in my chest and having headaches and feeling like I am cramping but I am not on my period...he gave me the medicine saying to take it until my procedure that he is doing, a cystoscapy or something like that..I didn't take it the last night I was suppose to because I am in school and trying to find...

i went to my docter and he give me nitrofur-macr 100mg i got and i still have bad gas and diarria,i thought i still had my infection,so o went to see a different docter and he give me a scripe of laxative i,ve been taking sometime,he never told me that it was the side effects of the drug,i did,nt know until i looked up the drug.don,t take this drug. ## I'm sorry, but I am somewhat confused by your post. Nitrofurantoin is an antibiotic that is used to treat various types of infections and it can cause diarrhea as a side effect. And, if you are suffering from diarrhea, it makes no sense for another doctor to give you a laxative. In addition, all medications carry the risk of side effects, even over the counter products. What is the specific problem you've been experiencing? Can yo...

How long a treatment of Nitrofur Mac Cap100 Mg is reguired for urinary tract infection? ## Hi Mary, Listed below is information regarding the proper dosing and length of treatment for a UTI: "The recommended nitrofurantoin dosage for treating UTIs in adults is 50 to 100 mg four times daily, continued for at least three days after the infection has cleared.

I have a drug reaction to Macrobid - does this generic cause the same side effects as Macrobid? The inside of my mouth, tonsils and throat are itching. ## Yes, they are the exact same thing and carry the risk of the same exact side effects and allergic reactions. This does not sound, however, like a normal side effect, but more like a possible allergy to the medication. You should consult your doctor or pharmacist, right away. Who suggested you should use the generic, instead of the name brand?

Can nitrofur- macr 100mg treat strep throat ? What ages do they prescribe this to? ## Hello, Jane! How are you? There is no set age limit for this antibiotic, though it is generally avoided in those over age 65, since it may cause them more problematic side effects. However, it may not be appropriate to treat strep, that sometimes requires different antibiotics. This one is most commonly used to treat UTIs. The FDA lists the typical antibiotic side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?

can you take Nitrofur Macr 100 Mg & Z Pac together. I have two pills of the Nitrofur left for a bladder infection. I got prescribed a z pac for a horrible cold & sore throat can I take the two antibiotics together? ## Hi Karen, Based on my research, no known interactions exist between Nitrofur Macro (Nitrofurantoin) and Z pack; also known as Zithromax (Azithromycin). However, this does not necessarily mean no interactions exist. I have done my best to provide you with accurate information; but you should ALWAYS consult with your doctor or pharmacist before combining medications. I hope this helps!

I am on a 100 mg dosage of nitrofur mac for a UTI I do fine with the first dose of the day, but by the second and third dose I am feeling nauseaous and not hungry at all. I am supposed to take a 4th dose, but don't because I can't sleep when I do. ## Those can be normal side effects according to FDA reports. You may also experience headache, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. How are you feeling, now? Has there been any change? Are you on any other medications? Did you finish your full course of this one?

I have been taking Nitro for 3 years bc of recurring UTI's. Gradually I have noticed my hair falling out and not growing back in; I can think of no cause; Before taking Nitro I had very thick hair; can it cause hair loss? ## I have taken two rounds of nitrofur-macr since May '11 for a stubborn UTI. Since May, I have started to notice hair loss and thinning. ## Yes, though it isn't common, hair loss can occur with this antibiotic, however, it is usually reversible, when someone finishes their course of treatment, or switches to a different medication. Have either one of you consulted your doctors? That is especially relevant to Janice, with recurrent UTIs like that, I'd say that this antibiotic isn't really eradicating all the bacteria, so you may need to try somethin...
