My wife is 83 years old and has a bladder infection. Her PCP put her on liquid antibiotic because her she can't swallow pills of any kind,(two refills) and it did not her symtoms.

He them put her her on Nitro/Mono 100 mg. She has had a lethargic condition along with burning when saud she gort worse and so was switched to the Nitro/ Mono 100 mg twice daily. She developed a new side effect witch is itching with with a rash. I think that it may be brought on by taking her two doses mixed in apple sauce about three hrs. aprart instead of morning and at night before bedtime and lack of adequate hydrat

Would anyone who has had experience or suggestions let me know?

She lost her right cornia and had to have it surgicaly removed and replaced.

Thanks.

Nitrofurantoin is an antibiotic that is most commonly used to treat UTIs.

However, it is not recommended for use in the elderly, since they are prone to experiencing more severe side effects from it, such as the rash and itching that has been mentioned.

There are other, safer options that can be used in elderly people.

Are there any questions or comments?
