REPORT

My doctor put me on nitrofur Macr for a bladder infection. I then received a call from the doctors office saying they had to put me on a different antibiotic, amoxiccilan, since my culture came back and was positive for a bladder infection. I explained that he put me on this antibiotic for a bladder infection what was so different in the culture that warranted a different antibiotic?

Just took Nitrofur-MACR 100mg around 10:30 for a UTI. I think this is the worst one I have had to date! I also took 2 packages (3hrs apart) of the AZO. I am still in pain and don't think it's working fast enough!!! Should I suck it up and give more time to work or is it ok to take a hydrocodon pill that I have left over from a previous surgery?? I am not a very good medicine taker so I'm scared to mix anything. Perhaps i shoukd just take an advil??? Thanks for your help! :)

Hi Jane,

It's hard to say how long it can take for you to "feel" the effects of a drug, as every drug can effect each individual differently. If you're curious about what the proper dosage should be for a UTI and how long you should be taking it for, then the information below will be very helpful in that regard:

"The recommended nitrofurantoin dosage for treating UTIs in adults is 50 to 100 mg four times daily, continued for at least three days after the infection has cleared. For uncomplicated infections, the lower amount is usually recommended. For long-term treatment to prevent UTIs in adults, a dose of 50 or 100 mg once daily at bedtime is usually sufficient."
