Interaction Between Nitrofur Macr And Lipitor

Is there a possibility that my taking lipitor while taking nitrofur macr for a UTI is the reason I am having so much negative reaction to the nitrofur macr?

Hi Esther,

My findings state that there are in fact unsafe interactions between Lipitor and Nitro Macro. Posted below are the precautions you should be aware of:

"MONITOR: The risk of peripheral neuropathy may be increased during concurrent use of two or more agents that are associated with this adverse effect. In some cases, the neuropathy may progress or become irreversible despite discontinuation of the medications.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised during concomitant use of agents with neurotoxic effects. Patients should be monitored closely for symptoms of neuropathy such as burning, tingling, pain, or numbness in the hands and feet. Since the development of peripheral neuropathy may be dose-related for many drugs, the recommended dosages should generally not be exceeded. Consideration should be given to dosage reductions or immediate discontinuation of these medications in patients who develop peripheral neuropathy to limit further damage. If necessary, therapy should generally be reinstituted only after resolution of neuropathy symptoms or return of symptoms to baseline status. In some cases, reduced dosages may be required."

That said, it does seem as though these negative reactions may be attributed to this interaction. Have you talked to your doctor about this yet?
