To improve health in general, and the back muscles in particular, began to visit the pool. All would be nothing if there was no problem - cystitis. I have never suffered before, and now I have been several times in a row. I'm well, I'm not saying anything. There was not enough time to go to the hospital, therefore, after reading in the network colleagues' reviews of misfortune, I independently appointed and successfully treated with a 5 NOC drug, but frequent relapses embarrassed me and still led me to a doctor. Based on the results of the tests, Furagin was prescribed.Began to take and immediately went side effects: headache and dizziness, sometimes nauseated. It turned out that if you drink a lot, the swallowing comes to naught. Now I drink a lot of liquid and do not suffer. While the action of the drug is satisfied, all the unpleasant symptoms passed quickly, for a month there was no relapse. I want to believe that there will not be any more. Plus, this is a good prevention of my pyelonephritis, which does not forget to remind myself about the autumn-spring period.

Wonderful drug.Symptoms of cystitis go almost from the first pill.
Hello dear doctor! I want to share my opinion about furagin (Producer - "Kievmedpreparat"). In the 70-year-old. Mom often happens cystitis, during this year, several times was treated with furagin, tk. from furadonin was nausea; After two days of taking the symptoms pass. But the last case of cystitis - on the tenth day of taking a furagin, in the evening and in the day, everything was as usual, began to cough as if it had laid everything inside, with difficulty typing air for coughing, all night long it coughed, and the condition was like a cold - the body was hurting the next day - the temperature of 38, maybe at night, too, she did not measure .... I re-read the instructions of the furagin. It says that "in isolated cases - an acute and chronic pulmonary reaction.The acute pulmonary reaction develops rapidly and manifests itself with severe shortness of breath, fever, pain in the chest, coughing with or without phlegm, etc ...". Chronic pulmonary reaction can develop after a long period of time after the cessation of treatment with nitrofurans.Characteristic is a gradual increase in dyspnea, accelerated breathing, unstable fever, progressive cough ... "There are also side effects - fever, she could not catch a cold - she could not catch a cold for a week, maybe this side effect of furagin? Today, the temperature did not rise and a cough such as it was not.

olga alexandrovna, This issue is better to disassemble with your mother's attending physician, it's a matter of nuances. All negative symptoms usually go away after taking the drug. You note that after the end of taking the drug, negative symptoms have passed, so it is possible that a negative reaction to a prolonged intake of Furagin is possible. And yes, similar side effects are in the instruction, although in isolated cases, but everything can be.

And, if the patient is at home, he can contact relatives who visit him or live together, and they in turn can be carriers of infections, so the theory that the mother does not go out and could not get infected in your case is untenable.
