A member asked:

Prescribed macrobid for uti symptoms, culture came back negative. should i stop taking the antibiotics? i'm on day 4 of 7. i am 4 weeks pregnant.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Furadantin (nitrofurantoin): This compound is not known to cause problems during pregnancy. The issue is whether or not you actually have a uti, and would suggest you get the results of the urinalysis (which was hopefully done along with the culture). Urine cultures are seldom negative in the presence of bacterial infection, unless the infection is involving areas above the bladder. Would need more info. Call your doctor.
