A member asked:

Taking macrobid have b12 deficiency/celiac having minor pain /tingling in hands feet md said its short term tx worried about permanent damage?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Agree with MD: It is unlikely that 1 or 2 week treatment with microbid could cause symptoms. B 12 deficiency itself could cause neuropathy and tingling.

Dr Beck and another doctor agreed
