It is not a macro lens .Macro lenses are specialist lenses capable of giving a full lifesize image (they will cost best part of £2 to 300 )
A 50 mm prime lens with a maximum aperture of 1.8 is relatively fast .(it lets in plenty of light )consequently you can easily get shutter speeds that don't need IS (it does not have it by the way)
One way of getting reasonable close ups would to be try close up filters or extenson tubes if on a budget .Or even getting a reversing ring to go on a 50mm 1.8
