Were you looking for information on Macrobid? Marcobid is a common misspelling of Macrobid.
If you have a
urinary tract infection (
UTI), your healthcare provider may prescribe Macrobid
® (
nitrofurantoin monohydrate/macrocrystalline). This prescription antibiotic comes in the form of a capsule and is taken just twice a day. It comes in both brand-name and generic forms. Although most people tolerate this drug well, side effects are possible; common ones include
headache, flatulence, and nausea.
Before starting treatment, talk to your healthcare provider about your current medications and health history. Macrobid may not be suitable for everyone, so it's especially important to tell your healthcare provider if you have kidney disease, anemia,
diabetes, or glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency.
