This is a lifesaver drug for me! I get frequent UTI's due to Interstitial Cystitis, but I cannot take Bactrim without severe side effects. So Macrobid is like an old friend to me. I almost always feel better within 24 hours, unless it's a really bad UTI, then it might take 36 hours. But it always takes care of the bacterial infection.

There are a lot of bad reviews of this drug but I didn't experience any issues. I had a horrible UTI and got this prescribed to me. I took it twice a day for 5 days 12 hours apart. My only issue was swallowing the pill because it is pretty large (but I have issues swallowing pills of all sizes so it's a me problem not a problem with this drug haha). Overall, I was feeling better within 24 ... Show Full Comment

I was afraid to take this medication because of these reviews, but I had absolutely no problems. I took 2x a day for 5 days. Use as prescribed (take with food and twelve hours apart!) I had no side effects and it resolved my UTI.

The side effects of this drug are almost immediate and extreme. After just 2 pills, I have chills, chest pain, nausea, no energy, dizziness and a basic inability to function. I will go to an Urgent Care to get a prescription for Cipro, because I cannot and will not tolerate these side effects when there is another antibiotic with substantially less side effects and is readily available.

I�ve never take this antibiotic before, and didn�t know about this heavy side�s effects... Anyway, On second day I felt joints pain, and other flue like symptoms... Going to see a doctor tomorrow to switch that on better antibiotic with less side effects ... (I hope)
