Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Rash On The Leg After Taking Macrodantin For UTI?
My mother was recently put on macrodantin for a UTI. She has recently developed a rash on her left leg from knee to toes. She also has an infection on her left toe, which her physician stated this drug would help as well. I see that this drug should not be used if person has kidney disease. She is in stage 3 renal failure due to Lupus with increasing BUN levels. Could this drug be responsible for this rash? This has been the only change in her routine. I would appreciate your input
