I recently started taking Nitrofurantoin Macro 50mg Capsules to treat a recurring urinary tract infection. The doctor mentioned it's common for antibiotics to cause some side effects, but I've been experiencing severe stomach pain and diarrhea. I've also noticed some unusual nerve sensations like tingling and numbness in my fingers. I'm worried about these symptoms and want to know if anyone else has had similar experiences. I tried to check the side effects online, but they didn't mention this. Can anyone shed some light on this?

I've been prescribed Nitrofurant Mac 25mg Capsules for a recurrent UTI. I've heard mixed things about side effects. Has anyone else taken this? What was your experience like? What should I expect?

I was prescribed Nitrofurantoin Macro 100mg Capsules for a urinary tract infection (UTI) and had a mixed experience with it. The medication worked well in clearing up the infection, but I did experience some side effects that were a bit concerning. I took the capsules exactly as prescribed, usually with food to help with absorption and reduce stomach upset, but I still felt some discomfort. Has anyone else had similar experiences? What were your biggest takeaways from taking this medication?
