zithromax

1692704 tn?1307211780 Azithromycin (except Zmax) should not be taken at the same time as aluminum- or magnesium- based antacids, such as Mylanta or Maalox because antacids will bind the azithromycin and prevent it from being absorbed from the intestine. ... "SIDE EFFECTS: Azithromycin is generally well tolerated. The most common side effects are diarrhea or loose stools, nausea, abdominal pain, and vomiting which may occur in fewer than one in twenty persons who receive azithromycin.
1916673 tn?1420233270 ll find lots of info about it. Be aware that like most antiemetics and antacids, not all meds work on all dogs, so once you have found something that works its worth sticking with it. Zofran tends to be reasonably priced, so it may be worth giving it a try from that point of view.
Avatar f tn Also I've been taking it since early second trimester and im now due in less than two weeks and still take it when I need it
Avatar n tn I had my gallbladder removed and take antacids all the time, I would also like to know about this.
Avatar f tn Do you ever take antacids besides these 2 occasions when you got diarrhea? Because antacids can cause diarrhea and if you are having loose stools and you are asleep, it can leak.
723952 tn?1231857532 The flagyl tends to give Herxes that are milder but last longer, which my dr advised and I found to be true. And they get less and less intense over time. Flagyl busts up the cysts wherever they are, and I can see the effect in my knees and in my head in particular. The drug can be rough on the digestive system, but with probiotics it really didn't bother me until recently.
Avatar n tn Consult a doctor and give him antacids and probiotics. Give him small meals more frequently to combat the acid. Possibility of recurrence of pneumonia or there being asthma, allergic bronchitis or even cystic fibrosis should be looked into. The best thing would be to consult a pediatrician and try and assess what is the cause of his problem. Take care!
Avatar m tn 0 grams (4 500 mg pills) taken at one time is just as effective as penicillin for syphilis treatment however, there are some cases of treatment failures with azithromycin for syphilis treatment and many of the treatment failures have come from San Francisco where you apparently live. Thus this is a matter of concern. While many people will be cured by therapy of early syphilis with azithromycin, the dose you have received is not the recommended dose.
Avatar m tn I read online that the combination of Ciprofloxacin and Azithromycin can be dangerous. Is this still the case, if the last Ciprodose was one week before the 2g Azithromycin dose?
Avatar n tn I have read lots of your post concerning biaxin and azithromycin and whether they cure syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia and NGU. I have found that biaxin is chemically different than azithromycin but biologically same at killing bacteria as azithromycin. On some post you say that azithromycin or clarithromycin(biaxin) would cure all the bacterial stds then in others you state that there could be some problems. by H. Hunter Handsfield, M.D.
Avatar m tn My doc seemed amazed that the stomach could affect the heart and didnt seem to believe the specialist. Am dazed and confused and sick of worrying about my heart. I also once had a dream in which on three different occasions my heart was torn from my body. On one instance I was a Mayan sacrifice and the other I remember took place during the second world war. I was a doctor and had been caugh and my heart cut out. I cant remember the third.
155701 tn?1230047101 I keep reading about how certain antacids can cause your blood pressure to go up. I have GERD and am experiencing esophagitis again, and I would like to be able to take something for it. Is Zantac75 okay to take with a beta-blocker? And will it increase my blood pressure? I can't seem to find good information anywhere on the internet or even from my endocrinologist. Please help!
Avatar m tn Hi, I got a test done and it came back positive for chlamydia. I took 1g of azithromycin on Monday night. I went to a lunch today and I started drinking a beer because it had totally slipped my mind that I took the medication on Monday. I finished the one beer, but drank only water the rest of the time. Will that one beer affect my being cured or affect the medication? Thanks.
Avatar f tn I have been taking Azithromycin for 4 days. I have gotten worse. Still have fever and have developed nasal congestion with yellow discharge. ENT gave me Spectracef. I read that Spectracef does not treat mychoplasma. So, is there an antibiotic that would treat both mychoplasma AND sinusitis incase I have one or both?
Avatar n tn I was also just taking a 5 day dose pack of azithromycin for a sinus infection. I started having heart palpatations as well. I have tachycardia anyways so I didn't really associate it with the medicine. It really started worrying me when my left arm started feeling weak and tingling. This usually also happens when I have an SVT attack but it goes away quickly. This tingling lasted all day. My heart palpatations were more frequent as well.
Avatar f tn I had chronic nausea for an entire year before my surgery so I am going to say yes it does because once the surgery was over I never had it again.
Avatar m tn They took my gallbladder out the other day and found a "spot" on my liver. Biopsy isn't back yet. I had so many different symptoms it was a confusing mess!!
Avatar m tn 00PM on day 0, took 1g Azithromycin at 2:45 on day 0, and had sex with my gf at 9:00AM on day 1, had sex with my gf again on day 2 in the evening, and noticed the symptoms on day 3. On day 4 I took 500mg of Azithromycin in the afternoon. It is now day 5. I don't know why my symptoms started to appear more than 24 hours after taking Azithromycin. I guess there were several hours for any bacteria to proliferate before the Azithromycin reached the tissues of my urethra.
