Severe Rigors, Flu Symptoms, Kidney, Lung Problems
after taking this drug became very sick with headache, severe rigors, flu like symptoms, pain that moved around organ to organ, pleuresy with severe lung pain, couldn't lie down for days. Tests revealed nothing. I am normally very healthy and this episode was put down to viral infection by my doctor. Has anyone else had these symptoms after taking Macrobid?

Generic Macrobid Side Effects
I have been taking a new generic Macrobid for about nine weeks, It is my only medication change. Nine weeks ago I stated having heart palpations, sometimes prolonged and disturbing. The new capsules are black and cream, not the old bright yellow and black. Printed on the capsule is a large, italicized E and the numbers 122. Has anyone experienced palpations with this drug?

Macrobid And Hcg
I recently found out I was pregnant. Just before I found out, I had a UTI and took Macrobid. I had a blood test at the Dr.'s office soon after I finished the prescription and my HCG levels were very high. Three days later, they were normal again, and ultrasound shows a heartbeat and everything in the right place--not ectopic. I am trying to come up with an explanation for the initial elevated HCG. My thyroid is fine. Could the Macrobid have caused the initial elevation?
