Comment:
Took macrobid for UTI and after taking macrobid for 7 days I started itching on scalp and developed severe hives, some trouble breathing. Was put on prednisone which helped with itching/hives, but suffered for 1 week with severe hives/itching in different areas of body. Will not take this medication again.
