This was the first time I have taken this medication, I've been having UTI's for 3 months now. I was hoping it would be the one to work! I was too sick to notice if it helped or not! If I'd stand up my usual way,I'd get real dizzy, I can handle that, but then I started having heart problems like feeling it was making my heart race, then I'd get shortness of breath.

If I'd stand up my usual way,I'd get real dizzy, I can handle that, but then I started having heart problems like feeling it was making my heart race, then I'd get shortness of breath. I hooked myself to pulse ox, finger one, it read HR 130s and 85% oxygenation. I've been off of this pill only one day since I've been having this, I still get shortness of breath not even going fast, I hope I recover soon, it's making my Fibromyalgia worse! Thanks for letting me vent! Hope everyone who's had reaction to this med,has been well again!

Took one dose and awoke at 2 AM with my insides burning up! I will not be taking any more but will call Dr in the morning for a change of meds...I have previously had UTI's but believe I was on a different medication. I would not recommend this to anyone.

I refuse to take these awful antibiotics ever again. I thought medication was supposed to make you feel better, not treat the symptoms (which they haven't even fully done) while making you feel so unwell in lots of other ways. I have been treated for occasional UTIs for over 20 years and have never had a reaction to any of the other antibiotics used to treat me, just Nitrofurantaine. I haven&# ... Show Full Comment

I have been treated for occasional UTIs for over 20 years and have never had a reaction to any of the other antibiotics used to treat me, just Nitrofurantaine. I haven't felt the need to review any other medications but felt compelled to review this one as I want to warn others to take a 3 day course at your peril. Hats off to anyone who manages to attend their work having taken these awful capsules. Prepare to take to your bed and be unwell for 3-4 days with severe stomach pains, gas, headaches, nausea, fatigue and heart palpitations, oh and some muscle aches and chills too in case you don't feel bad enough. Never again!

This medication is the worst medication I have ever taken. I have never written a review or taken notice of reviews before however this has shocked me so much that I want to warn others!

I have never been given this med before and I did find it odd I was not prescribed the usual 7 day course of antibiotic I would usually have. It was twice a day for 3 days at 100mg. I took this after my dinner yesterday as instructed and the problems begun a couple of hours after. I was hot, dizzy, slurring my words and continued then to vomit throughout the night. The stomach cramps were so bad I consider taking myself to A

I was prescribed a 7 day course of the slow release capsules for a mild suspected UTI.

I was prescribed a 7 day course of the slow release capsules for a mild suspected UTI. The medication seemed to clear up the UTI after 2-3 days and having completed the course 3 weeks ago I have had no relapse. I experienced none of the side effects others have had, eg, headaches, sickness etc but what I did find was that I had increasing trips to the loo from about day 3 and discomfort which was only relieved on urination. Whilst this was similar to the UTI symptoms I felt it was caused by irritation from the medication. This was proved the case as the discomfort quickly diminished and disappeared once I finished the course. I do have some skin sensitivities and need to use unperfumed products in that area so this probably will not affect most people but is something to be aware of.
