Here are some ...: Is "... my 3rd ..." referred to the 3rd dose or 3rd course of taking Macrobid, with 100 mg twice daily or once? Largely, this drug is still effective for some 75-80% of times despite its decades-long use. For most uncomplicated UTIs in young sexually active females, a course of 50-100 mg twice daily for 3-5 days is most commonly recommended. If not improved as expected, make sure to have U-culture

Read fatal side effects of Macrobid & afraid to take med! How dangerous is this? Pressure sensation but dip stick and office machine said no UTI.

Currently on macrobid for uti (e.coli) I've taken 4 of the 10 pills prescribed (I finish Monday morning) but I'm peeing very frequently still. Is this normal? If so, when should it subside? I'm also on diuretics for blood pressure.
