My son is 40 years old, had a kidney transplant January 2012, now has a UTI and docs gave him nitrofur mac 100mg cap teva usa for it. He started them on thursday, and on friday evening started nausea, and has had it ever since. Is there something else he should be taking?
Hello, Doctor prescribed your son nitro fur cap which contains nitrofurantoin which is an antibiotic mainly used to treat urinary tract infections. Its may be enough to treat UTI, but it may cause nausea and other gastrointestinal side effects which may be minor. So I will advise you take omeprazole 20 mg tablet before meal. This will take care of your stomach upset. Hope this is helpful. Take care. Thank you.
