Macrobid and bruising [posted
1/12/99]
Question: Last week I was prescribed Macrobid for a UTI. I am sensitive to several
medications, including sulfa. The doctor gave me a dosage of two a day for ten days. On
the fifth day I developed terrible itching that when scratched would become big red hives.
I discontinued the medications that day. The itching stopped the next day. Two days later
I developed giant bruises on my thighs and lower back. Could these be related to the drug
reaction?
Answer: Probably.
