My husband was prescribed this medication for an UTI. He suffered from terrible acid reflux, nausea, wretching and belching. He couldn't keep anything in his stomach. The doctor insisted he stay on the meds and he got weaker and weaker. Even after we stopped the meds his condition continued to decline.

He became so dehydrated that we had to take him to the ER for iv fluids and potsssium supplements. I wouldn't recommend nitrofurantoin to anyone.

I suffered severe dibilatating migraine headaches entire time- 7 days. Will never take this poison drug ever again. UTI cleared but there are far better drugs for UTIs than this out there.

Easy to take 3 pills a day but 2 days in I was nauseous, pale, my blood pressure dropped, and at the end of my work day I fainted while walking from the front door to the bus stop. This is dangerous stuff. I stopped taking it immediately. The following 5 weeks I had excessive thirst and zero tolerance for alcohol - I got drunk off one glass of wine at dinner. Never ever again would I take this.

Worse reaction ever... Dizziness, Ringing in the ears, nauseated, TERRIBLE migraine, feeling confused, exhaustion...the list goes on. Pharmacists said the medicine could NOT cause any of these side effects. Well guess what, IT DID! I started the Medicine before bed - 1 tab. next day 2 tabs. Day 3 and 4 I took 1 tab because the issues were very bad. I quit all together day 5 and called the doctor. ... Show Full Comment

Day 3 and 4 I took 1 tab because the issues were very bad. I quit all together day 5 and called the doctor. Doctor changed the medicine out for Ciprofloxacin. Will not start taking it until the next morning.
