Caya,

Thanks for bringing up this subject. I woke this morning to a raging UTI. Looks like fruit punch in the bowl. OWWWWW! (sorry, tmi?)

Since this is my second one in less than a month, my gyno put me on macrobid twice daily for 7 days, then 1 daily for the remainder of my chemo. She said "we need to keep your bladder sterile".
She also said that macrobid bypasses the liver, so shouldn't cause any problems with other meds.

FYI.
