zithromax

Avatar n tn It might be, it does seem a little light but it could clear a STD up if you had it. Best thing is always wait for tests. And I think this is why the Dr went light on the dosage.
Avatar m tn I have just finish the treatment for gonorrhea after finishing the prescribed 5 day dosage of azithromycin. After further reading on azithromycin in the internet, I stumbled upon some people saying including in this forums that taking azithromycin can affect the vdrl for syphilis. I'm starting to get worried. I didn't notice any symptoms of syphilis on me at all. So is it possible that azithromycin can affect the vdrl for syphilis? I hope my doctor knew what he was doing.
Avatar m tn Hello, I have recently been diagnosed with mild NGU although I am still waiting for my Chlamydia and Gonorrhea results. I have been given one single dose of azithromycin (1 g) . It has been four days now, and when i urinate there is still a burning sensation. I have not had any discharge at all. Before (Hours before) I have the burning feeling when I urinate, I also have a feeling of pressure/pain at my pelvis. 1.
Avatar n tn It seems as if he is treating you for gonorrhea (rocephin), chlamydia (azithromycin) and a urinary tract infection (cipro). You might want to eat when you take the cipro and azithromycin.
Avatar n tn I went to a urologist and was given an immediate shot for gonorrhea and 1g (2x 500mg) azithromycin initially, with an additional 500mg to be continued each day for 3 days. Given my activity and symptoms it was pretty obvious what it was. The only thing lacking was a discharge. After day 3, the painful urination did not subside at all. I found this very strange since last time I got the gonorrhea shot the painful urination stopped the exact same day.
Avatar f tn Yes, a ZPack is azithromycin, but a ZPack is actually a pre-packaged 5 day course, at least here in the US. And I just learned that it's Z-Pak. Cute. This is an image of what it looks like - https://www.grxstatic.com/d4fuqqd5l3dbz/products/tms/Package_14438.
Avatar m tn I am allergic to Amoxicillin and the pharmacy was out of Azithromycin, so I was given this alternative treatment. Is this medication as effective in treating NGU and Ghonorrea as Azithromycin? The dosage directions say 1 500mg tablet twice a day, with a total of 9 tablets.
Avatar m tn 2)They suspect I can also have gonorrhea. Just in case, will the 2g azithoromycin dosage cure it as well? I know that cefixime is also recommended, but due to lack of resources I would like to know if 2g azithoromycin would be enough. PS.: the lesion is in anus. Thanks again for your help.
Avatar f tn I went to get checked and the doctor prescribed 1g of azithromycin. That dosage should be enough for chlamydia, but after research, it seems like i might have gonorrhea since it was only oral. Chlamydia seems rare to be transmitted through oral. I also saw on this site that another user was prescribed cipro 500mg and 1g azithromycin. Dr. Hhhhhh said that should be sufficient. I had extra cipro I my house, so i took 500mg along with the azithromycin.
Avatar n tn It is statistically very unlikely that any gonorrhea would be resistant to all 3 antibiotics you have received, i.e. cipro, azithromycin, and penicillin. Gonorrhea is no longer a concern. The penicillin definitely will cure syphilis if you were exposed.
Avatar m tn Had a question about Azithromycn. I know that 2g in a single dose is protocol for a gonorrhea infection. Would the efficacy of this drug & dosage to cure the disease be the same if 1 gram was taken on one day and another 1 gram the next? I assume this regimen would have the potential to lessen the possible GI side effects.
Avatar m tn 2) Would the azithromycin dosage he prescribed remedy NGU if I did have it? If this dosage would not cure NGU, am I able to immediately go to a STD clinic to get tested (while on azithromycin) or do I need to wait for a period after finishing the medicine to get accurately checked and tested? 3) Does alcohol diminish the effect of azithromycin ? I say this because I had 4 drinks one night two days after beginning the medicine. 4) Can NGU be passed to women?
Avatar f tn You are also a good candidate for Azithromycin dosage that could easily stem Gonorrhea,Chlymdia and Syphilis early infections.
Avatar m tn can u plz tell me whether these are because of medicine or gonorrhea or is it hiv....my doctor is giving me azithromycin,cefixime and doxycycline....he told me that hiv test is possible after 60 days.....is there any way to find it..??
Avatar n tn Someone posted on this site that Azithromycin will not cure Gonorrhea, however I read on the Pfizer web site that it will cure gonorrhea and chlamydia. So my question is, will a 2 gram dose of Azithromycin cure both Gonorrhea and Chlamydia.
Avatar n tn If you took azithromycin in one dose, that would take up to around 7 days to fully work. If you took doxycycline for 7 days, it will be cured by the time you are finished those meds. I'm guessing, maybe, that you were being treated for chlamydia and had sex too soon. If that's the case, your partner should be told to test. If your partner was being treated and you had sex too soon, you should test.
Avatar n tn I have not tested for STDs yet but I have taken a 5 day regiment of 250 mg azithromycin. The Itch is still there, I am starting on the refill today, same regiment. Also, I contacted the escort who said she had just been tested last week, and all came back negative. I do believe she is telling the truth. He/She offered to show me the paperwork. 3 days after the exposure, my wife gave me oral only. I did not ejaculate in her mouth. 1. Is my exposure a high a high risk one for STD's?
Avatar m tn azithromycin covers several std's fairly well but not 100%. the dose you had isn't all that relevant since you had I assume at least a 5 day course. Azithromycin also continues to work for many days after you've finished it which is why in this case, it could cause false negatives in the testing you've had done.
Avatar m tn On top of all that, if gonorrhea were the cause of your sore throat, the azithromycin would have cured it. Almost certainly you just caught a standard vIrus; your symptoms have nothing to do with the sexual exposure you are worried about. It hasn't cleared up because it's caused by a virus -- and antibiotics like azithromycin have no effect on viral infections. Recheck with your doctor if the sore throat continues.
Avatar m tn m on the medication, azithromycin dosage is over and 2 tablets left for levofloxacin, and my eye redness has reduced a bit and the burning during urination reduced a bit too but not completely gone. What i want to know is:- 1.Will this antibiotic course be enough to cure my conjunctivitis? 2.Should I be taking antibiotic eye drops as well? 3.should i go see an ophthalmologist? 4.My vision gets a bit blurred at times, but washing with water or blinking a few times fixes it.
Avatar n tn efficacy of the 2 gram single dose of azithromycin? Is this still an effective regiment for gonorrhea and / or chlamydia, NGU, etc.? Are there particular cases or reasons for the patients where this treatment has started to fail? Thank you.
Avatar m tn Mortified, I went to the health clinic to get STD tested the next day. The doctors gave me Azithromycin, and Cefixime, assuming I had either gonorrhea or chlamydia. The results took 2 weeks to get, and my symptoms never fully cleared up. I finally got the results, and all came up negative (for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphillis, HIV). By this time the symptoms had moved more to my bladder, and felt pressure, and increasing frequency in urination.
Avatar n tn It’s been exactly four days; today I took 1.5g of azithromycin as a preventive measure against Chlamydia and maybe gonorrhea and syphilis. I just needed to stop freaking out even though I haven’t developed any symptoms. I know I should be safe about Chlamydia but I’m not so sure about the other two. I also made the mistake of taking the first gram in the morning (on an empty stomach) and taking the remaining half gram in the early evening (4h after lunch).
Avatar n tn They looked under the microscope at the lab to see if they could detect gonorrhea but it came back inconclusive as they could only see pus cells. Nevertheless, I was given 1g Azithromycin which I took on 5th Sept. The gonorrhea is going to take up to 3 weeks and so I was filled with too much anxiety to wait for the results, so I went to see a GP and told him my symptoms and he prescribed 400mg Cefixime (Suprax).
