I have been taking macrobid for a few days now,but nothing seems to be relieving it.Drinking water,cranberry juice and green tea,but still my urine is a dark color....anyone else know of any other home remedy for bladder infection?

No i was diagnosed by the emergency room for a bladder infection.Macrobid is what they prescribed.Im not self medicating,and i do plan to take it till it is gone..but i've missed 3 days of work and i need to get back to work ASAP.This is why i asked.It's not hepitis or kidney falure..if so my back would be hurting and i'd have alot more problems to go with this.

I found a good cure at the health food store. Get Uva Ursi, it is a liquid, and you put so many drops under your tongue, and it really works!! It is a bit bitter, but its the first thing I reach for when I get a bladder infection. My daughter uses it as well. Hope it works for you, and take care.

I think it's time to give up on the home remedies and see a doctor. If macrobid has been prescribed for you, take it as directed and don't stop until it's gone. If you're taking it on your own because you THINK you have a bladder infection, you better see your doctor to be sure.

If Macrobid doest clear it up, then it might not be a bladder infection- liver failure and other things may trigger dark urine as well! See a doctor asap!

apparentally you have been treating yourself for this condition. buy uristat at a pharmacy, itls over the counter and for females. it works for men also and does not have side effects. good luck.
