Macrobid Benign Intracranial Hypertension, Dyspnea on Exertion, Fever Chills, Optic Neuritis, Peripheral Neuropathy
Posted over a year ago
This is my 4th day on generic Macrobid (Nitrofurantoin mono 100mg) for a UTI, no problems except typical side effects like drowsiness and urine discoloration. I didn't take it with any food or milk like the label says, but my stomach was fine. I wouldn't have a problem taking this again.
