Just be careful with the UTI and Macrobid. I used to get a lot of UTIs when younger. My PCP put me on Bactrim, I ended up allergic. Then he put me on Macrobid. The dang things kept coming back. I finally went to a urologist.

He said that he didn't understand why docs kept giving Macrobid to patients that had several UTIs over a 6-8 month period. He said it doesn't really clear up the problem in many many patients. I became a Cipro gal after that. In fact, he gave me a standing prescription for a year at a time. This was 20 years ago!

Never did get UTIs much after that, only once every 2-4 years rather than 3-4 a year! So, if you get through with your Macrobid, and another UTI creeps up in the few months after, get CIPRO instead of another Macrobid. It may not work for you.
