Avatar f tn I just got done with a prescription for 875 mg of amoxicillin twice a day for 10 days. Will that cure chlamydia and gonorrhea??
Avatar m tn Would 1 gram, 3x daily (3 grams daily) of Amoxicillin for 10 days kill Chlamydia and Gonnorea? What other conditions might cause a pinching sensation and a slight red discloration at the tip of my penis?
Avatar m tn org/posts/HIV---Prevention/insertive-v-receptive-oral/show/1922236 The risk of some STDs is a bit higher -- low for all (e.g., gonorrhea, syphilis) and virtually zero for others (e.g., chlamydia). Your med student friend has some learning to do about STDs. I wouldn't have recommended any antibiotic treatment at all; and amoxicillin is a poor choice for STD prevention. What to do now?
Avatar n tn I've been taking amoxicillin for chlamydia for 5 days now with no relief. It's still very painfull everytime I urinate. On day 5 now, I have an odd taste in my mouth all day. Is that normal when taking amoxicillin?
Avatar n tn I was recently infected with chlamydia, I haven't had sex in several months but a few weeks ago I was fooling around with a girl and my penis came into contact with her vagina though we didn't end up having sex. A few days later I started feeling tingling sensations towards the tip of my penis.
Avatar n tn Amoxicillin is fine if it's the correct antibiotic. Dental infections can be from either an aerobic bacteria or anaerobic bacteria. Having the correct antibiotic is VERY important. I urge you to at least call your dentist for approval before you treat a dental abscess yourself. Amoxicillin may be fine, but you may need something like clindamycin instead. Also, it's very important that a FULL dose is taken for dental infections.
Avatar f tn FYI, NSU and NGU are just different names for the same thing. Chlamydia causes 30-40% of cases.
Avatar m tn t any sores or ulcers present, the likelihood of both syphilis and herpes are very very low but still possible. You can get treated or tested for gonorrhea and chlamydia within three to five days post exposure. Syphilis can be within four to six weeks post exposure or sooner if physical primary stage symptom occurs. Herpes is three to four months post exposure unless physical symptoms i.e. cluster of blisters occur.
Avatar n tn After receiving unprotected oral sex from a female (male recipient). Someone is prescribed 500mg amoxicillin 3x's daily for 10 days, would this abort the incubation of such std's as Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, or syphilis? The antibiotics were prescribed the day after the encounter (within 24 hours). I've been hearing different things from different sites and its been driving me crazy. Do I need to worry? Thank you.
Avatar m tn Hi. I was diagnosed with chlamydia around 3 months ago. I took the two 500mg dosage used at the health center. I fear my girlfriend may still be infected and that we are passing the infection back and forth. My local pharmacist gave us a regular zpack to treat both of us. He directed us to take two 250mg tablets once daily for three days. Will this cure chlamydia or should I take a higher dosage?
Avatar f tn So yesterday I went to the Dr for an ear infection and the Dr said it was pretty bad. He prescribed me amoxicillin 500mg 3 times a day for 10 days. He said it was safe but I am scared. I have called and left a message for my drs assistant. Waiting for a call back. Have any of you had to take this in this dossage?
Avatar n tn The next week I had a sore throat (unrelated) and went to my doctor and was given a prescription for amoxicillin. I began taking the amoxicillin 10 days after the encounter. 15 days after the encounter while still taking the amoxicillin, I had sex with my wife. We had sex twice that night, the only time since the encounter. The next week my doctor switched me to clarithromycin for my throat.
Avatar n tn Hi there, Amoxicillin in the preferred antibiotic in dental infections. The usual adult dosage is 500 mg given every 6-8 hrly.The dosage may be increased or decreased depending on the severity of infection. If you are having a dental infection or cavity it is best to get it treated by a root canal before the problem aggravates. See a dentist. Take care and regards!
Avatar m tn I had to have a root canal redone as my previous dentist did not get the whole nerve and it became infected. The Dentist put me on amoxicillin 875mg twice a day, after 6 days I called him as it was having no effect. he then put me on clyndamycin 300mg twice a day, this is day two, it seemed better this morning and by this afternoon it isswelling slightly the tissue above my tooth is spongie again and I can tell it's filling with pus.
Avatar m tn ployri bacterial infection, so I was taking 2000mg of amoxicillin a day and 1500mg of clarithromycin (bactrim) for a course of 7 days. The girl I had sex with contacted me yesterday to tell me she has been diagnosed with chlamydia. If I did catch this first of all would this medication have cured me? Also, I had urinalysis dipsticks in the house and tested myself to see if I had UTI symptoms caused by possible chlamydia (white blood cells in urine, nitrates, etc) and it was all clear.
Avatar f tn okay so I have had chlamydia a few years ago and had it cured, earlier a few months ago i started having symptoms like i had gotten it again. however i don't have insurance and/or the money to go get it checked out. then i got sick with allergies and cold symptoms so my sister took me to carenow where i got doxycycline hyclate 100mg 2x a day for 10 days to clear up my sinus infection.
Avatar n tn I asked him if he would prescribe me treatment for gonorreah and chlamydia whilst I wait for the results as I am going out of my mind with worry. He advised against this but gave me a prescription of Azithromycin, with 500mg dosage twice a day for three days. In all my research online, I have read that the recommended dosage is 1g of Azithromycin taken once. Is the dosage I was prescribed as effective?
Avatar f tn Can 3 tablets of amoxicillin a day for 7 days cure a man of chlamydia or is that not a common antibiotic for men who have chlamydia?
Avatar n tn Unfortunately, amoxicillin is not recommended for any of these syndromes but could make their symptoms milder without curing the process. My advice would be to seek evaluation for NGU and gonorrhea at this time. If you were my patient, depending on the findings, I might then treat you with therapy for NGU (azithromycin or a week of doxycycline).
Avatar n tn Yeah along with a 7 to 10 day course of Doxy for Chlamydia.
Avatar m tn So that evening, I took 1000 mg amoxicillin. The next day (Monday) I was tested for several STDs and showed positive for HSV-1 only (no chlamydia or gonorrhea). 2 days later I read that I may have been tested too early. Since I couldn't wait around for ever before I had to have sex with my wife, On Thurday, I started taking doxycycline 100 mg 12 hours apart and amoxicillin 500 mg 3 times per day. On Monday, I was tested again and everything was negative.
Avatar m tn I had gay sex the other night for the first and only time. Total, it lasted less than two minutes before we realized the condom broke (probably at the latter half of the 2 minutes). I am currently on amoxicillin, is there a real worry I could have possibly received an STI? I think I'm being paranoid but I just need to know something from a different perspective.
Avatar f tn Today I took my 15 month old son to one of his regular checkups. His doctor had noticed some fluid in his left ear and said he had a small infection. I told her he had a cold and some congestion but I didn't know about his ear. She prescribed him Amoxicillin for his ear and told me something about the dosage. All I remember her saying is something about 1 tsp.
