Leg Muscle Cramps, Palpitations

i was perscribe nitrofurantoin for two and a half weeks.
During all this period i suffered of leg muscle cramps, nausia, and general bad feeling. A day after I finished taking the medication, I had palpitations with heartbeat of 175 per minute. Can this be a side affect of the medicine?

it is definately a side effect. nitrofurantoin has actually made me feel worse than the uti it is treating! i have awful nausea, tight chest, muscle aches, fatigue, and my heart feels like it is constantly racing! i will never take this medicine again.

Have either of you contacted your respective doctors?

Yael, especially with that high of a heart rate, you really need to discuss the problem with your doctor, In case it's not just the medication.

The other issues can be normal side effects, but since they are problematic, this is probably not the right medication for you.

Same thing. Headache, extreme nausea, muscle cramps and spasms, dizziness, intense eye pressure and vision problems, chills, sweating... ended up in ER on 7th night because I thought I was on the verge of a heart attack, seizure, or death. Worst medicine ever.
