I get anxious about taking meds I haven't had before, so the reviews on this were terrifying but it worked really well for me. I started feeling a bit wobbly and sick when I tried to be active but when I took it easy I had no side effects except a slight stomach ache now and then. Cleared up my infection in three days, would take again if I needed to.

I hate all antibiotics. When you're trying to get rid of one problem, they make get more. I was prescribed Marcobid 100mg twice a day for five days. It got rid of the burning when peeing but I have a decreased appetite, my stomach feels bloated and like I just ate a full course thanksgiving dinner that never goes away. I feel a little nauseous. I want to stop taking this medicine. I just hope ... Show Full Comment

I want to stop taking this medicine. I just hope that the uti doesn't come back. I'm allergic to Bactrim and Cipro. I wish there was a more effective way of getting rid of a UTI other than drugs. I hate taking drugs because of their side effects.

I rarely, if ever leave a review for much. But after my experience taking this antibiotic, I am going on as many sites as I can to inform others about this drug. I was prescribed 100mg of Microbid every 12 hours for 7 days for a UTI. I am not sensitive to antibiotics I have taken in the past, i.e. amoxicillin, Cipro, Z-pack.

I rarely, if ever leave a review for much. But after my experience taking this antibiotic, I am going on as many sites as I can to inform others about this drug. I was prescribed 100mg of Microbid every 12 hours for 7 days for a UTI. I am not sensitive to antibiotics I have taken in the past, i.e. amoxicillin, Cipro, Z-pack. However, this antibiotic made me feel awful. I didn't see any change in my UTI symptoms for a couple of days (in the past, an antibiotic normally starts working the first 24 hours). I took this medicine with food and tried to drink as much water as possible. I had terrible nausea to the point that I was gagging and vomiting. The first morning after taking my first dose I had a bad headache, and had to take Advil for that each day I was on the medication. By Day 3, I was weak, nauseas, couldn't eat ANYTHING and could barely get out of bed. I couldn't work, eat, or even put a load of laundry into the washer without feeling weak. Yes, my symptoms of the UTI were gone, so it was working, but I felt absolutely awful. I was also sleepy and slept 10-11 hours a night when I was on it. Finally on Day 5 I felt so sick that I called my doctor to see if he would prescribe something for the nausea and he told me to stop taking it. What a relief! I will never take this medication again. For reference I am 5'3 and 125 pounds. I'm not allergic to any medication. I'm not sure what went wrong with Microbid but I would caution anyone before taking it.

This medication did cure my UTI, BUT I was extremely tired wanted to sleep all the time. Very weak. On day 2 I woke up and could not see. My eyes were blurry for quite some time. When I say blurry, I am saying I could not see to walk around safely. Could not see my hands. DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICATION.

The side effects keep getting worse...from headache to achiness to fatigue and joint pain. Never again!
