A member asked:

What would you consider a long term usage of macrobid? i have taken it daily for 1 1/2 years.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Furadantin (nitrofurantoin): This should not be taken chronically in this manner. It has numerous potentially very severe side-effects including interstitial pneumonia and others. It is a close cousin of the drug Dilantin which has full texts written about the toxicities. Would stop this now and discuss with the doctor who ordered it.
