Updated January 7, 2011

I have been taking Nitrofur for 6 days. Around the 4th day I became extremely tired (to the point where I felt like I couldn't function the next day). Is this a side effect of this drug?

Nitrofurantoin can cause nausea and vomiting, fever, rash, hypersensitivity pneumonitis. It can also cause pulmonary fibrosis. However, according to my research, all these side effects are much more common in the elderly. I haven't found any information regarding fatigue, but if you are experiencing any of the side effects above, it could be a contributing factor to feeling exhausted.
