Common Questions and Answers about Avelox and itching

avelox

Avatar n tn Hello Drs, I recently engaged in unprotected vaginal sex with a woman of unknown status and in the following week developed symptoms of mild dysuria, penile itching, and a clear mucus-like discharge that became cloudy briefly. I went for an STD panel where I was diagnosed with a chlamydial infection (all other tests were negative). I was prescribed 1g azithromycin single dose, however after 2 weeks the symptoms didn't resolve.
Avatar f tn Why won't the medical community acknowledge the true widespread devastation that FLUOROQUINOLONE ANTIBIOTICS (eg:Ciprofloxacin, Avelox, Levaquin, norefloxacin, etc) cause, instead of choosing to diagnose each symptom individually?
Avatar n tn I took them but the itching and hair pulling sensations persisted. On March 17, he prescribed Avelox 400 mg to taken 1x/day for five days. It was ineffective as to these symptoms. It would seem that the antibiotics have killed off any bacterial diseases, and based on the lack of visual manifestations of the itching on my skin, I wonder if I don't have a fungal infection.
Avatar n tn For many years I have pains that pop up for no reason in joints and muscles and last for usually three to six months and then vanish. I get rashes and tiny red spots on my shins and then clear up. The rashes last about the same three to six months. I had these pains in both my shoulders at once, which almost never happens, so I thought it was my rotator cuffs going due to the work that I do.
Avatar f tn Avelox... I went yesterday and saw a lung specialist, he calmed me down and told me that i only have a little pneumonia in my lower left side it's nothing to be worried about. It's the bronchitis that's causing a lot of pain in my chest and back that I did not have prior to the antibiotics.
Avatar m tn I have had a round of Avelox a few weeks ago and recently Omnicef 600mg/day for 10 days and still have discharge. Question, wouldn't these antibiotics be affective against NGU, Chlamydia or Gonnorrhea? Thanks for the help.
1373852 tn?1307843048 t end up with avelox but took leavaquin that is a kin of avelox and six days later ended up having respiratory failure and in the hospital for 3 months one of which I was in icu on a ventilator.Since then I have had widespread muscular pain and multiple tendonitis as well as other issues so I don't agree that these antibiotics don't have side effects maybe you should read up more about the new black box warnings.
Avatar m tn After trying Doxy, Azithromycin, and Flagyl, the only antibiotic that finally worked was Avelox. The question now is what I should treat my partner with. I know from my experience that my NGU was passed sexually, and she needs to get treated before we can have sex again. The problem, is that she said she is allergic to Avelox. Another problem, is that since it is NGU, we cannot test to confirm if the bacteria is cured, and she is also asymptomatic.
Avatar m tn If the tendonitis is due to Avelox then yes, it can be treated as usual. The pain and inflammation will subside once the medication leaves the body completely. This may take a week. This is treated with NSAIDs, rest and orthotics or specially designed foot wear to ease the pressure off the tendon. Take care!
Avatar m tn A few weeks ago, after unprotected intercourse, I started having itching and discomfort at head of my penis. Very slight discharge. No real pain, just discomfort. Urine dribbles out after finishing. Had a battery of urine and blood STD tests. All negative. Doctor thought it might be prosthititis. Took Cipro for 14 days. No change in symptoms. Went on Azythromiacin for 5 day dose. No real change in symptoms.
Avatar m tn On the 19th I started itching in the urethra and on the tip of my penis so I took 1g of z max on the 19th, another 1g on the 20th and 400mg of avelox on the 19th, 20th, and 21st. The itching subsided but then came back with a vengence in the urethra on the 23rd. On the 24th I started having a crooked stream ( couldnt keep it in the toilet - a spray) and a sharp pain in the urethra on the right side (seemed like 1/2' into in the urethra from the tip ).
Avatar f tn also been on the avelox a week now and still have a week to go, but infection is just getting worse. have been making sure not to take any dairy or other minerals with it, 8 hrs before or 4 hrs after taking it. doc told me to take my omeprazole every day for my acid reflux (which i haven't had any problems with in quite a while) because she thought my acid reflux might be causing all of this to be worse and making my asthma flare up.
Avatar f tn There are so many medications that mention "tachy" as a possible side effect. I'm not sure if the arrhythmia becomes permanent however. Often it clears up once the medication is discontinued/ended. I've taken Cipro a couple of times now and I'm prone to arrhythmias LOL and never noticed any difference while on the med. My albuterol for asthma cranks up my heart rate but only for 10 minutes or so.
Avatar f tn Does anyone know if its ok to take antibiotics with riba? I'm not sure if I should take a dose of each together or should I wait and take the antibiotic (Avelox 400mg) separately. I'd rather take them together because each should be taken with food and I don't have much appetite so when I do manage to eat I'd like to get all the drugs down at once. Any input would be helpful.
Avatar m tn Went to see a couple of doctors and they think it is sinus infection - so went on two anti-biotic treatments (Augmentin 10 days - which did not work, then Avelox 14 days). Just finished the Avelox course, but still having some post nasal drip and sore throat. But generally feeling better. Question: How would you assess the risk of this encounter for STD's and HIV in particular? Does female ejaculate fluid contain the HIV virus? What about other STD's?
1994720 tn?1352742233 I am losing my mind as I have severe internal itching, throbbing and external irritation. Infections and STDs have been ruled out. My gynecologist is at a loss and tells me they've done everything. Though I tested positive for candida albicans I wonder if I also have a less common strain that is resistant to the azoles. I can't take it anymore. I am so uncomfortable. By the way, this is the first time in 20 years I've had a yeast infection and I'm 44.
Avatar m tn MG is treated by a different set of drugs than the ones u used,its been pointed out above,azithromycin and avelox are 1st line drugs,youve been tested time and again for MG and neg,how long was it from initial infection to treatment using a drug that works?it takes time for an infection to enter the prostate.several months usually.oral meds are difficult to pierce the sheath that surrounds the prostate but there r ones that work.levofloxacine is one.
Avatar n tn I talked to her yesterday and she said to start the Avelox antibiotic which I did yesterday. I now have 2 doses in me. I also started Zyrtec yesterday per the allergist recommendation.
Avatar n tn I had pneumonia after contracting the flu in July. Was treated with Avelox and, when symptoms came back, Azithromycin. I still have a cough, which seems, at times, to improve and then recur. The cough is not severe, though there is a sensation of irritation, of needing to expel something in my chest, left side. I have wheezing upon forceful exhalation. A chest x-ray on 7/19/09 showed "Prominent interstitial markings left midlung anteriorly.
Avatar n tn 30, she had gotten Bactrim for a possible throat infection, and 4 days into it she experienced itching on her face, back of scalp with no rash, AS well as a bad flare up of her knees that DID make it difficult for her to walk. It went away the next day or two. Just about 2 weeks ago she started itching all over and got what she says were hives on her upper torso, legs(knee area included), and stomach area. They went away but the itching continued, with no rash.
Avatar f tn I have been on avelox for 5 days now it still burns when i pee, the tip of the penis is swollen and the hole is red and swollen. 2 days ago i went to the urgent care and got tested for my urine sample and that showed up clear and I called today and they stated the std of gon. and chlymadia were negative. He did give me 1 g zithromax which I took yesterday.
Avatar f tn I found out from my friend who is a nurse that it is a staph becoming resistant. My skin is itchy more and the inside my nose looks like someone dug it out. I had a reaction to the avelox...couldn't breathe adn my heart rate went up. i had them put me back on the clindamycin...the avelox seem to make me more constipated and stomach pain, it took the swelling i had down though, the clindamycin is giving me bad diareha. The drainage from my nose area is so bad it's awful.
Avatar f tn I switched to Avelox and the stomach pain reduced quickly, so I do believe Rifampin was making it worse. About 2 weeks into Avelox I had some cramping in my left Achilles heel, so they switched me to Levaquin. If I have a problem with Levaquin, then no more drugs in that family for me. I don't know what the next choice is. It's all about risk vs. expected benefits.
