Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for your query.
I'm Dr. Shuba Hariprasad and will be answering your query today.

I understand your concern.
There is nothing to worry. He may (occasionally) have some nausea or gastric discomfort but will otherwise be fine.

As the course of Macrobid has been completed, continue trimethoprim at the same time tomorrow and for the duration as prescribed by his urologist.
Take the medicine with food.

Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.
Wish you both good health.

Regards,
Dr. Shuba Hariprasad
