Avatar m tn tab Avindo 500(azithromycin Tablets IP- daily 2 for 6 days) + Isotroin 20mg (Isotretinoin, daily for 15 days) + hh fudic cream First derma. Prescribed dosage worked out in 20 days, but again acne started coming in 7-8 months. Again I consult with second, he prescribed me mentioned above, But I read from Internet that Isotretinoin has many side effects including hair fall, so I neglect that dosage of Isotretinoin by afraid , only azithromycin took for 6 days.
Avatar f tn Iwent to a doctor to treat a acne outbreak and they prescribed a wide spectrum antibiotic, azithromycin, a topical cream, clindamycin and a moisturizing cream contain allantoin and panthenol, I'm on my second weak of treatment and ive noticed red dry painful areas on chin and side chin what could be the cause of this
Avatar f tn My query is this: 1) I have a very ugly looking keloid on my shoulder. I've paid umpteen visits to the doctor and each time he suggested the same thing-- apply Contractubex gel. But this hasn't been of any use and it doesn't make sense to spend 600 bucks on a 20g ointment which does not show promising results. I've heard of this thing called "silicone sheet". Will it be helpful to give it a try? Do you have any other suggestions??
Avatar m tn Hello, I planned on getting STD tested in a few weeks but just completed a ZPACK (azithromycin) for a sinus infection and my dermatologist has put me on 100 mg doryx (doxycycline) for acne. Other then the HIV test should I go ahead and get tested for gono, syph, chla? The reason I ask is that from what I am reading on this forum, often times those antibiotics would clear up those infections. Thank you. This has been a very helpful and informative forum.
Avatar m tn I was given 2 doses of 1000mg azithromycin and it went away in 2 days. Could it be that the std is ammuned to the azithromycin after i got rid of it the first time? Oh also i took azithromycin a week prior to seeing the Dr and getting tested..could this be the reason that no bacteria showed but there was still red and white blood cells in my urine? I am at a loss with this. Any advice will help greatly...
Avatar m tn Possibilities include non-STD urinary tract infection (rare), prostate problems, and anxiety, which can magnify otherwise trivial or even normal body sensations that would not otherwise be noticed or a cause for worry. If it persists, get professionally evaluated. I still would have recommended against both azithromycin treatments, but that's water under the bridge so no point in worrying about it now. Thanks for the thanks. I'm glad to have helped.
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.
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 m tn They are all stumped and confused, but my current dermatologist believes that my acne may be contributing to this constant skin outbreak, and is treating my acne with Duac, Defferin, and Minocycline each once a day. He believes that if my acne problem gets managed, it will leave room for this unknown skin infection/inflammation to heal. Doesn't seem to be helping so far unfortunately.
Avatar n tn today, i had a severe pain on the left side of my chest. like in my left breast, extending towards the side and back. it's constant pain and i feel like vomiting a bit because of that pain. it got so severe that i had to lie down and then it felt a bit better but it's still throbbing. i recently got put on antibiotics (azithromycin) for a throat infection, but these pains are not a side effect.
Avatar f tn t heal it. The acne was severe and we learned it had a name - cystic acne. The medical options had adverse side affects - so just continued the cleaning and supplement regimen to keep it under control. Two years later she was 17, she had her first boil in her groin area. We had no idea what it was - actually thought it was an ingrown hair and so we treated it as such. Then she began to get one after another. I googled, I questioned friends and family.
Avatar f tn After 2 days my penis and scortum started tingling and itching and started a burning sensation in my penis with no discharge. Also i noticed some pain in my lower back and abdomen. I got worried and went to a local std clinic to test for hiv and std. i told them my symptoms and they examined and tested me and gave me a 7 days dose of doxycycline for having a NGU. (Non gonococcal urithiritis) After seven days of dose with doxycycline, i was feeling better with no symptoms.
Avatar m tn Azithromycin is thought to be highly effective for treatment of chlamydial infection although one recent report has suggested that the treatment failure rate may be increasing slightly (despite this, the vast majority of chlamydial infections will still be successfully treated with azithromycin).
Avatar m tn Dear Doctors, I was infected by Mycoplasma genitalium 2 weeks ago by a woman in China, Guangzhou. In panic i took first 200mg Levofloxacin x 3 days. Then Azithromycin 500mg x1day then 250mg for 5 days, and also 200mg Minocycline x5 days mixed with the Azi. Im now on the day after my last medication day, and i still feel a small burning feeling in my right thigh, near the blatter. It is not a stinging burning pain. Just a small burning. Not really a pain.
Avatar f tn I took 1000mg of Azithromycin and 400mg of Suprax about 38 hours after the incident and I am also on oxytetracyline for acne and in the pull pack it says it's used to treat sti's as well. Fingers crossed I was clear anyway but if not the antibiotics will keep any serious harm at bay till I can be treated.
Avatar n tn hey i am 22 my skin can b both depending on the weather.. in hot weather my skin is oily .. in cold weather my skin is dry and sensetive.
Avatar m tn m a man (sex was vaginal/oral) and I have most of the typical symptoms of chlamydia (pain in urethra, testicles), MINUS discharge and PLUS persistent pain in my lower pelvis, around my bladder (I think). I've read that true UTIs in young men are quite rare. So, two questions: 1) Is pelvic pain in men a normal symptom of chlamydia, or an indication that something else is going on? and 2) How long after taking azithromycin should I look for the symptoms to be clear?
Avatar m tn Will Azithromycin help if either? Taking one gram of tetracycline daily for three weeks for acne. Could this cause problems with resistance? Any advice you have for me? Visiting a real doctor for thorough testing is not an option right now.
Avatar m tn I'm not sure I understand the sequence. "Urinalysis" doesn't usually mean a chlamydia test. Are you sure your urine was actually tested for chlamydia 6/29 and 7/12? The wording seems to suggest that the first follow-up test (6/29) was negative and the next (7/12) was positive. Is that right?
Avatar n tn 35 Year old male, had unprotected oral on 23 rd April 2010 with a CSW. This was very short (with intervals) as this happened in a night club in Uganda, Kampala. No ejaculation. I am also circumcised. Next day felt a little itch on the penis (probably due to masturbation), Took Azithromycin and itch was gone. Took test for HIV (Elisa) at 9 and 14 weeks, was negative. 3.
Avatar m tn I had an acne spot under my chin that took a while to go down, it was under he skin so I couldn't pop it....anyway it eventually subsided but now I'm left with a tiny lump under the skin where the spot used to be...it's difficult to feel most of the time, I have to stretch my neck to feel it and it not visible on the surface at all. I am concerned about it now as its not gone and is still there 8 months or so on from the acne...what could this be?
