Avatar f tn m not sure about azithromycin there are safe antibiotics but not all are safe to take during pregnancy. Do not take anything without asking or seeing your Dr.
5915949 tn?1396188227 I have known a few women who have taken a zpack during pregnancy and everything was fine. It's definitely better than suffering with an awful infection too! Good luck and feel better!
Avatar f tn The dr. is having me take azithromycin starting today for one week off one week on. I am a little nervous to take this while I am in the 2 week wait. Also, if I am pregnant it makes me more nervous. She gave it to me because when I was pregnant around 6 months ago I got 2 uti's. I ended up losing the pregnancy, but to this day they don't know why because everything was going so great. She wants me to avoid the uti's by taking this medicine.
20922415 tn?1661860103 During the reproductive years, the pituitary gland in the brain generates hormones (follicle-stimulating hormone [FSH] and luteinizing hormone [LH]) that cause a new egg to mature and be released from its ovarian follicle each month. As the follicle develops, it produces the sex hormones estrogen and progesterone, which thicken the lining of the uterus called the endometrium.
Avatar f tn I recently tested positive for chlamydia. I got a 1g single dose of azithromycin and so did my boyfriend. I took my pills on Wednesday (today is Saturday) and he took his on Thursday. This morning we masturbated together. I touched myself primarily and he touched himself, but he did touch my vagina at one point. And I touched his penis. Tried to stay clear of precum. WE DID NOT HAVE SEX. I washed my hands immediately before. And I washed them after. Just concerned about hand-genital risk.
Avatar n tn Dicloxacillin is a poor choice for any STD. It has no effect against chlamydia or the other bacteria that cause cervicitis in women and NGU in men, and borderline efficacy at best against gonorrhea and syphilis. The alternative to doxycycline is azithromycin 1.0 g orally in a single dose, which is safe and effective in pregnancy. If gonorrhea is a concern, then it's azithromycin plus a cephalosporin antibiotic, such cefixime or cefpodoxime; or a 2.0 g dose of azithromycin.
Avatar f tn As I said, I am currently getting over a cold. I am on azithromycin. I also stress hardcore about EVERYTHING. It has not even been a week since sex. I have no cravings, only feel mild nausea at one point during the day and have no other symptoms. I am not sure if all my symptoms are cold and extreme stress induced or could be possible pregnancy symptoms so early. Is this even possible?
Avatar f tn Whether you actually need the metronidazole or azithromycin, or needed the ceftriaxone (Rocephin) and doxycycline, is another story. I'm inclined to believe you did not. The azithromycin and doxy cover exactly the same infections, so certainly both treatments are unnecessary, no matter what sexual exposures you have had.
Avatar m tn the TPPA and RPR test are all negative,but I take 12 pills of Azithromycin to cure my NGU during the 4 weeks,and I did not take the pills for 5 days before I take tke test.some one told me that the Azithromycin would cure the syphilis,and it will make the test result inaccurate,should I test syphilis again,and would the Azithromycin make the result inaccurate?
Avatar n tn I am a university student during the middle of finals and got sick this week. I first went to my campus's medical clinic originally thinking I had strep throat. Based on the doctor's conclusion, I had a viral throat infection. Three days went by and it turned into a whooping cough. I went back to the clinic today and the doctor gave me antibiotics after I told him I coughed up some green gunk. The doctor said my lungs sounded clear.
Avatar n tn 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., Jun 11, 2007 12:00AM Directly to your questions: 1) Both azithromycin and penicillin are 100% effective in curing incubating syphilis.
1901977 tn?1333991726 I would call the pharmacy and talk to them they would kno more about medications then the doc. They gave me penacilin for a tooth infection and I refused to take it, so I know how you feel but I would think pneumonia would be alot worst.
Avatar n tn About 7-8 days later I started experiencing some burning, tingling and prickly pain after and sometimes during urination. I also seem to have some slight, clear, and maybe milky colored discharge. It is very little, to the point of having to look for it. The doctor prescribed me Doxycycline 100mg, two times daily and 400mg Suprax taken once. Basic urinalysis was done, with leucocytes and trace blood present. STD testing was, for some reason not performed.
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 m tn This treatment is azithromycin (zpak total of 1500 mg over 5 days). Today, I am 1000 mg into the medication and I had a milky discharge during a bowel movement. I know, largely through this forum, that the real concerns are HSV, gonorrhea and NGU. I am worried about this encounter and therefor I am checking for symptoms constantly. I have a couple questions. 1. Is this milky discharge a sure symptom of gonorrhea or NGU? Could it be something else? I know that transmission is low for oral. 2.
Avatar m tn Several weeks ago I went to my doctor experiencing symptoms of an STI infection - itchy penis and a greenish/brown discharge. I was given azithromycin and also tested. The azithromycin cleared up the symptoms however one week later the test came back positive for gonorrhea (negative for all other bacteria/viruses tested). I returned immediately to the doctor and received an additional dose of azithromycin (oral) plus cefixime, both to be taken in one dose.
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 m tn 1)I took some Penicillin,Azithromycin and Cephalosporin discontinuously during the 8 weeks,does it affect the TP-ELISA result for syphilis testing ? 2) i mean,can i preclude the possibility of syphilis infection for the 8 weeks of the TP-ELISA test results ? thanks for helping me !
Avatar n tn I just received my chlamydia treatment in the form of 4 tablets to be taken in one dose of Azithromycin. I starting menstruating today and I didnt know if there would be any reason this would affect the effectiveness of the drug. Also my partner was just treated yesterday...How long before we can resume having sex?
Avatar f tn After taking Azithromycin and getting a shot in my butt and waiting 7-8 days is it safe for me to receive oral sex from a female even if my symptoms cleared up the next day I took them and after being treated and given a shot and if I got treated within 5 days in noticing something is my chance of getting rid of a STD higher since I reacted on it faster and after waiting 7-8 days after taking azithromycin and getting a shot can not use a condom and still be safe even when the symptoms cleared up
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with Chlamydia about a week ago. They gave me Azithromycin, 4 tablets at 250mg to take all at once. I took them and have severe stomach cramping and nausea, and ended up getting sick about 45 to an hour after taking the last pill... hoping that I would have already digested it before I got sick. The stomach pain lasted the rest of the day. It's been about 3 days now since I have taken it, but I still have that "burning" sensation after I urinate.
