bladder infection
"I love this drug.  A previous horrible experience with Cipro (severe diarrhea, dizziness, lethargy, extreme weight loss, and an inability to digest any of my normal foods for about 2 years) left me really afraid of the consequences of taking antibiotics again.  I went in to the dr refusing to take Cipro again.  He gave me nitrofurantoin.  I had NO side effects.  NO stomach upset. NO problems whatsoever.  I just felt better within a day.  I will say that I did need to take a second 7 day course to fully rid me of the infection, but it was so easy that I did not really care.  If I need this drug again, I will ask for a longer course next time. And it is CHEAP."
