Nitrofur Macr Possible Drug Interactoin

Updated

Does anyone know if this medication has any potential negative interactions with any of the following drugs?
Metformin
Cymbalta
Crestor
Hydrochlorathyazide
Provigil
Potassium Citrate (aka Urocit)

I have a UTI following a kidney stone. My regular doctor is away and one of the partners prescribed Nitrofur-Macr. After reading about all of the side effects I'm worried about taking it. I'm allergic to penicillin. Thank you.

MONITOR: Diuretic-induced renal impairment and dehydration may increase the risk of lactic acidosis in patients who are concomitantly taking metformin. In addition, thiazides and other diuretics may interfere with glucose control by causing hyperglycemia, glucose intolerance, new-onset diabetes mellitus, and/or exacerbation of preexisting diabetes.
MANAGEMENT: Close clinical monitoring is recommended if diuretics are coadministered with antidiabetic agents. Patients should be advised to monitor their blood glucose and to promptly notify their doctor if they experience possible signs of lactic acidosis (such as malaise, myalgia, respiratory distress, hyperventilation, slow or irregular heartbeat, somnolence, abdominal upset) or loss of glycemic control. Dose adjustments of metformin may be required. Likewise, patients should be observed for hypoglycemia if diuretics are withdrawn from their therapeutic regimen.

Yes, Kaely covered the listed interactions for the medications you are taking, though you should check with your doctor, or pharmacist to be certain.

There are none listed between any of them and the Nitrofurantoin, however.

Are there any other questions or comments?
