Macrobid For Uti And Kidney Infection

I am on a generic for Nitrofur Mac 100 mg. I have a severe kidney infection and am awaiting the results of x-ray and ultra sound of kidneys, but will not have a doctor's appointment for 1 week. Is this drug safe for my kidney, as it states for a bladder or UTI.

In most cases, if something is wrong with your kidney tests and the doctor feels you should not continue with this antibiotic, they will contact you immediately, as soon as they review the test results, rather than waiting for your appointment.

This contains the active ingredient Nitrofurantoin, which is an antibiotic.

The current warnings about renal function are actually not conclusive and, if you do have a severe infection, not taking the antibiotic to treat it could be much worse than the possible dangers of using it.

Thank you so very much! This antibotic is truly a 'miracle pill', as after only a few pills, I feel like I can tear mountain down! All my tests were normal,CT scan, Xray, and Ultrasound. Thanks so much for providing this service for people like me, who just need a little encouragement, when they are ill and feel so helpless, and in my case, are 'clue less'. I appreciate your time and efforts so much. Thanks again for the hope and love you give to others!

Dana, you are very welcome and I am extremely happy to hear that your tests results all came back normal.

I've been there and was scared to death waiting for the test results, so I understand.

And on the antibiotic, even though you are feeling better, please make sure to finish the full course of it, to ensure that the infection is completely cleared up. I've no doubt that a recurrence is something you'd like to avoid.
