Specializes in Pain Management

Call your doctor: Macrobid is a treatment for urinary tract infections. Typical side effects are stomach pain, weakness, and nausea. One of the several side effects that indicate a need to contact your physician is joint pain. Call your prescribing physician and report your knee joint pain.
