And what can you say about the old and tested drug against cystitis and inflammation of the urological part, only positive. At a democratic price, he did not give me any money, but he treats me well of infections. So, plus the price and effect of Furadonin, a normal domestic drug. When pregnancy and breast-feeding only take no need, but it was a negative experience with friends, but this is also written in the instructions.

With the acute manifestation of cystitis, I immediately took 2 pills of furadonin, after 15-20 minutes, a terrible sensation of nausea started, and strong weakness, plus it cuts below the abdomen. I already thought that I would not survive until the morning. Whom you ask, everyone says that it causes vomiting and nausea.

Already twice resorted to weekly treatment with furadonin. There were no side effects, including nausea. It helped me, but not for long, I just sometimes forgot to take it right, instead of 4 times I took 2-3 times a day. Now I'm going to drink again, but just by order.

TatyanaIt looks like you need to change the drug to another one. Since two consecutive courses of ineffective treatment (to learn from what disease?) Calls into question the effectiveness of the drug as such in relation to your specific situation of its use.

Saw furadonin for a long time at 100 mg per night to maintain the effect of the passed treatment. I liked that there were no exacerbations of cystitis, until strongly spiked my back and as a result I had to be treated long and seriously.

Furadonin removes only the symptoms of cystitis, and the disease as it is remains. You can take if you just catch a cold, And if it's gone far, then an excellent drug is Kanefron. He perfectly cures, and during pregnancy it is possible, which is very important, because pregnant women often have cystitis. Earlier took Furadonin, now only Kanefron. If in time to have time to drink enough to not take a course, and take two times.

I have been suffering from cystitis for a long time. tried a bunch of different tools, it helped, but not for long. I save myself with furadonin. He never let me down. To avoid nausea, drink it after eating, with plenty of water. Or you can use the chewing gum, it takes off the feeling of nausea.

Me furadonin helped, but everyone has an individual disease and needs individual treatment. There is a bacterial cystitis - this is a microbe, and there is not a bacterial one - this is the pathology of the walls of the bladder, there is an interstitial cystitis. Here you already need another special treatment from a urologist.Furadonin is a good drug, but when the disease concerns only infectious and inflammatory diseases of the urinary tract (including pyelonephritis, cystitis) caused by drug-sensitive microorganisms. In other cases, when furadonin does not help, individual treatment with a specialist is required. And if furadonin did not help you, do not say that this is a bad drug, it is just possible to pick up other drugs for your disease.

I was prescribed by a gynecologist Urotol. I often need to go to the toilet because of menopause. My girlfriends are advised instead by Furadonin. I do not know what to do. Can someone tell me?

Irina, Try first Urotol, since with climacteric changes, frequent urges are caused mainly by functional causes, and not infectious, in this case Urotol will help you better than Furadonin.

It makes you sick terribly ... It helps, of course, but you need to be ready for nausea and drowsiness.
If a severe attack of cystitis occurs, consult a doctor right away. You can take a few pills and call the doctor, tk. furadonin no longer helps. You will go through a course of treatment and forget about it. The main thing is not to launch, from my own experience I say.

AnastasiaAbout the fact that you do not need to start - it's right and treated after consulting a doctor and giving smears and tests is also true. But what about the effectiveness of the drug - it depends on the bacteria and its resistance to this chemical compound. Therefore, someone helps, and some do not. With pobochkoy similarly everything depends on the body, therefore, there are analogues for choosing an alternative in treatment.

I drink the sixth day out of ten appointed and feel that I can not stand it any longer. The headaches are creepy, the head and the pain are walking, the forehead, and the temples, and the back of the head. I can not bow down, just a sharp pain. Nauseous and constantly upset digestion.Even a strong breath, even with simple walking begins to miss the air. The heart tingles. The body is not my own, it's cotton. I left yesterday for a walk, after 20 minutes I felt broken. Joints ache, muscles ache ... In general, what a nightmare. This is the fifth course, of the five assigned to me in the treatment of pyelonephritis ... There were antibiotics, but even they did not cause so many side effects. Health to all.

Saw for 5 days like it began to help, but for some reason the kidneys began to hurt as if they were turning out. She quit drinking, the pain in her back was gone, but there was no cystitis. Side effects, I did not feel that's just what the kidneys made themselves felt. I now accept cyston, no reaction, nonsense.

Good evening!
For a year I suffer postcoital cystitis. I was treated with different drugs - in vain. I plan a pregnancy in the near future. My obstetrician-gynecologist advised me to interrupt a vicious circle of powerful antibiotic therapies and to drink furadonin + to conduct antiseptic therapy (epigen gel).
Contraindication indicates pregnancy.

So you can or can not get pregnant with fouradonin?
Administrators
admin
Hasmik, You can get pregnant, but you can not take it against the background of pregnancy. That is, to say more popular, while the fetus is a lump of cells you will not harm him with Furadonin, but if you develop cystitis, then you will have to take more serious medications and antibiotics, which can negatively affect the developing fetus. You can try herbal collections based on cranberries, half-palas, etc. Given that cystitis postcoital is possible in the initial stages and such methods will be enough. Although everyone has his own advice and a competent urologist, I would have gone through to determine what to do in your particular case.

I have chronic cystitis for many years. Frequent urination. The pharmacist recommended the drug furadonin avexime. I started to drink, on the first day of taking the drug was nausea relatively tolerable, and then a nightmare began. A terrible itch began. At first, I did not understand where. Itching in the lower body, then read in the instructions so much side effect! What kind of drug is this. From one you treat, and other organs suffer. Of course, this drug will not drink more.

I'm an oncologist. I have cystitis for the first time. Unpleasant this thing turns out to be (((: It happened at work, went to the health center, gave furadonin.In the beginning, 2 tablets immediately and then after 4 hours they said to take more.In the evening I added a bearberry leaf.In the morning, there were no more cuts, but "I run a little" often. Maybe it will be in a couple of days. I really hope so. Not toshnit, as others described, there are no extraneous inconveniences in the body.

The drug is very helpful, only there are pronounced side effects. Initially, under the prescription of the attending physician, I took two tablets three times a day. There was severe nausea with the urge to vomit. I had to prick the cerulek. Did not help. Reduced the dose twice (1 tablet three times a day). Two hours after the administration, there were some symptoms of myocardial infarction - very intense pain behind the sternum, after which the drug stopped taking.

So you do not need to drink 2 tablets of 100 mg each. Immediately and will not be sick. I drink half a tablet - 50 mg (25 mg) and it helps a lot. There are no bacteria.

I read very controversial reviews about furadonin.Someone considers it a useless drug. But as my daughter's mother who has a history of pyelonephritis and cystitis, I will encounter him. I do not know what they write or say, we drank after weighed in the hospital for a month as expected, then the Kanefron rate. Well, then periodically if the tests showed a small number of white blood cells we were called by a pediatrician and said to drink this drug. Well, it's not difficult for children to take it, you can dissolve it, you can chew it and take a spoonful of honey. Now once again I want to serve him, and I myself must drink, because I have a chronic form, but I have never yet drunk it myself. She did not notice the pads, of course, the potter's affairs were bright yellow, which is natural.

I never thought that I would develop cystitis. I will not wish this to anyone. I want to say, I am a nursing mother. Suddenly I fell ill with this ailment. It was terribly painful. She cried like a child.It was necessary to be treated urgently. I bought Cystinol Akut for 1500 tenge. Tablets from a cystitis, the word of honor has not helped or assisted. Then I decided to try a cheap tablet of Furadonin. Day has spent on drink on the second day the pain has stopped. I did not feel any side effects. Yes, and breast fed 11 month old child. In short, I want to say, we, stupid women, believe in branded tablets from which there is no effect. Although there are simple our local tablets, which we do not appreciate, consider it cheap, but there is an effect.
