Can this medicine be used to gratis a tooth infection? ## Hi Heidi, I have my doubts, because Nitrofurantoin has poor tissue penetration and is not indicated to treat anything other than simple cystitis (urinary tract infections). I would however recommend using clove essential oil for tooth and mouth related infections. Not only does it numb the pain, but it also kills the infection. A cheap natural alternative to prescription drugs, that is more effective in my opinion. I hope this helps! ## Nitrofurantoin is an antibiotic that can be used to treat various types of infections, but it usually isn't the first choice for a dental infection.

I'm suppose to take this medicine for 3 days twice a day. Is that enough time to clear up my UTI?? ## Hi diamond, According to Wiki, the usual adult dose of nitrofurantoin for a urinary tract infection can be 100 mg two times daily, or 50 mg four times daily for seven days. However, in less severe cases, the dosage can actually be prescribed for as little as 3 days. That should be plenty of time to clear up a UTI if it really is acute.

Just finished 500mg amoxicyillin for tooth infection. It's still here, but now also have a UTI. Prescribed macrobid 100mg. I'm now concerned that I have a major infection brewing. Will this help? ## Help, Mich! How are you? It is most commonly used to treat UTIs. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. There's a chance that some bacteria just traveled through your digestive tract from your mouth to your bladder, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's a major infection. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thank you for the prompt reply! Yes, I think some of the bacteria did travel. I guess what concerned me is that I got the UTI while already taking an antibiotic. I just hope that the macrobid will do the job for all of ...

Can nitrofur- macr 100mg treat strep throat ? What ages do they prescribe this to? ## Hello, Jane! How are you?

I didn't have my medication on me for a day and a half. I was supposed to be taking one pill, two times a day. If I restart taking my medicine is it still going to give me the same results, ridding me of my UTI? ## Hi, Aly! How are you? There's a good chance that you'll need a new prescription to make sure that you eradicate the bacteria that has caused the infection. The antibiotic needs to be maintained in your body at a fairly steady level for the required period of time to properly do its work, any break can usually allow the bacteria to reproliferate. Learn more Nitrofurantoin details here. You'll need to call your doctor to see what they say, they may allow you to just continue and finish. The decision may depend on your symptoms.

I took this twice in a row at 2:00. Is that okay? Also, is it okay to take one tomorrow morning and then 1 at night? ## Hi Mary, I just took a look at the dosing guidelines for this medication, and it states that Nitrofurantoin monohydrate/macrocrystals capsulesÂshould be taken with food every 12 hours for seven days. Because of that strict 12 hour gap in between doses, I definitely wouldn't say it is ok to take them back to back like that. Schedule your doses so that you take 1 in the morning when you get up and one a couple hours before you go to bed (giving yourself enough time to leave you with 12 hours before the following morning dose).

I will be going to many functions this week where there will be wine drinking. I have just started taking nitrofur-macr for the next 3 days. Could I drink a glass of light wine? ## It's not really advisable, since the alcohol can cause aggravation of the side effects, such as making the nausea, dizziness and diarrhea much worse than usual. Are there any other questions?

I am on day 3 OF NITROFURAN MONOHYD MACRO 100MG 100 mg for urinary track infection every 12hrs, I have problems with my stomach and have been prescribed DICYCLOMINE 10MG/5ML. (1/2 hr before meals) Is safe to take while taking NUTRIFURAN? ## Hi Virnia, Based on my research, there are no drug interactions listed between Nitrofurantoin and Dicyclomine. So just going off that information alone, I don't think there should be any problems using the two together (outside of each medication's own general side effects). However, if you still have any reservations about taking them, it may be best to call your doctor up and verify that it's ok with him as well. Was it the same doctor who prescribed you the Nitrofurantoin, that also give you the script for Dicyclomine? ## Does macrobid...

I started this medication last evening for a bladder infection. 'Haven't been on this before, and am experiencing headaches about an hour after taking it, and continues for a couple of hours or so. Plus I'm feeling sick to my stomach. I also noticed excessive thirst and urination. Today I drank 14 cups of water, and urinated fifteen times, and the night isn't even over. I also feel like I've been hit by a mac truck. ## How old are you? This medication has been known to cause severe side effects in people over 65, as they tend to be much more sensitive to it. If that isn't the answer, some of the effects, such as the excessive urination, which would in turn cause the excessive thirst, might be due to the bladder infection itself. ## I have had the infection since ...
