Can Nitrofurantoin Mono MCR 100mg Intake Cause Muscle Pain And Fatigue?
HI: I started taking Nitrofurantoin Mono- MCR 100 mgs for a bladder infection yesterday. I took my first one at 8:00 p.m. last night and the second one at 9:00 a.m. this morning. the muscles in my legs, arms and neck hurt. I am extremely tired and I am not sure if I have a fever. Could these symtoms be from the prescription drug? Thanks. Barb
Hello , i just read through your query and i feel that yes you are right partially as Nitrofurantoin is known to cause fatigue but not muscle pain as you have mentioned in a small percentage of people taking them. I suggest you continue your medicines as prescribed as this side effect is not a cause of much worry. Hope that helps .
