Nausea and diminished appetite also occur frequently. The most severe side effect that can result from Macrodantin is pulmonary hypersensitivity, which can cause a variety of lung-related problems. These effects usually only occur after treatment with Macrodantin that lasts for over half a year. Other potentially serious side effects include hepatitis, jaundice and severe neuropathy.
