Nitrofurantoin Anhydrous side effects

Sever Urticaria on the 10th day of a 15 day course of Nitrofurantoin for chronic UTI. The urticaria has already lasted 2 weeks and has not subsided yet. Taking Antihistamines. This is the third such instance of urticaria after taking Nitrofurantoin in the last 7 years. In the previous 2 instances urticaria started weeks after finishing the antibiotics course hence could not associate it the drug. Doc feels it could be drug induced liver cholesterol which is causing the itching. I am a 34 yr old female

(Nitrofurant Monohy)
I've been on this medicine for 6 days and recently have been experiencing chest pains, SHARP and intense stomach pain and my pee was light green this morning. I wasn't sure if this was a side effect or could be due to something else, but apparently some one else's posting indicated similar side effects.

continuation to my last post.....
I have also not been able to sleep - 4 hours last night is all I was able to get.

I have had a UTI for 2 months, this is my 2nd antibiotic. The other one calmed my symptoms and reduced the burning and the need to pee but then it came back after about 2 weeks. I am now on 100mg of Nitro and have been for only 2 days and I am getting almost all of these symptoms. I have a headache, severe nausea, every time I use the restroom I have diarrhea, stomach pain, chills, and all of my muscles are aching like I have just been in a car accident. I feel miserable and after reading all the post here - I am calling my doctor for another drug.

arms, legs, hands, etc.....itching and rash!!!! rash progressing daily as i took the medication!!

I have never been so tired in my life. I took this last night for UTI and couldn't figure out what was wrong with me today. I had to sleep during my lunch and after work. I will not ! take this one more day. Actually the UTI is better than the way I feel. and I have a bad headache. no stomach problems though.

Severe nausea, pounding headaches I initially thought was a migraine starting. Pain, general discomfort in my stomach, dizzy, exhausted, no energy. I feel so unwell. Almost as if I gastric flu. Couldn't eat I felt like I was going to be so sick. There must be something else to take.

The doctor prescribed Nitrofuran for my UTI. I took one pill and could not sleep the entire night. I had severe piercing pain in my stomach, felt short of breath, and started to sweat. That one pill made me feel terrible, worse than having the flu. I cried out of pain. The next day I got my doctor to prescribe me something else (Levaquin) and within a day the symptoms had subsided greatly, and by the following day I felt a whole lot better.

I took the pill for 7 days and did not realize or associate the side effects to the drug. Initially I experienc ed extreme tiredness, felt lousy, unmotivated etc..... then by the 7 th day after taking the last pill I woke up itching all
over my entire body. When I woke the next morning I had broken out in hives all over my entire body as the hours progressed I became swollen ( my feet, my ankles, my legs) ,sore (all over) and itchy: basically physically incapacitated. By the next morning although some of the symptons had subsided I awoke looking as if I had been beaten up my lips were extremely swollen and my face bruised and puffy. This is the allergic reaction I experienced unfortunatley not associating it with the drug soon enough to avoid.

body had water blister sores everywhere, with flu like symptoms

I have been taking this medication for 2 days and I have had headache's and nausea and now my urine has now turned green! Is this another side affect or do I need to panic????

08/19/2007 5:00pm tool 1 Nitrofurant Monohy 100mg - by 10:00pm couldn't sleep, fever 101, severe runny nose, pounding in ears, headache, complete cure of horrid inflammed bladder with one pill - hope my next 6 1/2 are better. I have been on 4 other antibiotics in the past 6 months with bladder infections that are recurrent.

I'm a 39 year old female and i'm using 50 mg 4 x a day for 5 days because of a bladder infection. I can't remember feeling this lousy taking an antibiotic: tired and dizzy, no appetite, painful limbs, watery eyes that sting, mild headache, lethargic.

woke up at 2:00 with rapid heart beat that lasted all day - flu like symptons as well as a dull headache. Was taking this med for a UTI. I am allergic to sulfur but don't know if this product contains it. Blood pressure was normal.

I'm a 33 year old female. While taking Nitrofurant I was sick for 7 plus days with flu like symptoms, cold shivers and hot sweats, severe headaches, nausea, numbness in my finertips and toes, severe pain in my legs, severe vomiting, lack of appatite, and hallucinations. The symptoms got progressively worse during the course of taking the medication.

After taking the first capsule I had a little fever that became higher at night. This lasted for a couple of days. I also feel a bit dizzy.

I have been taking Nitrofurant Monohy 100mg for the past four days and have never felt worse. I have a constant pain in my stomach, a headache, nausea, dizziness and feel like I am about to throw up. It seems my side effects are consistant with others. I would strongly recommend asking the doctor for another type of medication to avoid these feelings.

I could barely pick my head up off the pillow it hurt so bad. I was extremely sick to my stomach and had flu like symptoms. It was terrible.

Nausea ( just started taking medication today).

I just started taking nitrofuran monohy 100mg 2 days ago and have had the following syptoms: tingling in my arm, nausea, dizziness, sick feeling, persistent headache and eye pain today. I went online to find out what was making me sick and found out the symptoms were not exaggerated.

I took this medication for UTI for 2 weeks. I experienced numerous pulmonary problems such as bronchitis, breathing problems, chest pains, fever, and wheezing. I also found plenty of articles stating that this drug causes lung complications and can be fatal.

the worst yeast infection Ive ever had

chest pains

I am on the second day of Nitrofurant and I have the kind of migraine headache that I get. Is it one of the side effects of this medication?

Systemic allergic response manifested as severe urticaria lasting more than 5 days. Required steroids and supportive therapy.

my 88 year old mother experienced hallucinations.
