Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Macrodontin (Nitrofurantoin ) is the most common drug used now a days to treat urinary tract infection.
It can cause upset stomach, vomiting, mild diarrhea & altered urine colour like dark yellow or brownish.
If urinary tract infection/ XXXXXXX gland abscess is left untreated for a long time can effect on your kidney & ureter also.
So be careful & take your medications regularly as advised by your doctor.
I hope your query has been answered. I will be available for your further queries.

Hello,
Welcome back.
Macrodontin is very good drug but still if you are not getting relief there can be possibility of developing resistance to this antibiotic.
So get urine culture sensitivity test done that will detect to which antibiotic bacteria are sensitive & this test will guide you to take respective antibiotic.
I hope your query has been answered.
Thank you.
