azithromycin ototoxicity

Medications that have adverse effects on the inner ear are called ototoxic (ototoxicity). However, given the time lag, this seems less likely in your case. You should be seen by a doctor, preferably an ENT, and get a hearing test to rule out any hearing loss or other problems with your ears. Good luck! Nancy T.

Some medications and environmental chemicals such as lead, mercury or tin can cause ototoxicity which may result in damage to the inner ear or the 8th cranial nerve and cause vertigo. The damage can be permanent or temporary. It would be best to talk with your company or safety committee head about the presence of occupational hazards (such as chemicals) in your workplace to eliminate this cause.

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?

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

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.

) Yep, I am on new meds and not feeling well at all! I just worry about ototoxicity. Many antibiotics are ototoxic and I don't want to lose any, and I mean any hearing due to meds. That only equals tinnitus for the rest of your life, which I would hate. My tinnitus is worse when I'm sick, it definitely increases with stress but is a new problem since I started taking doxycylcline. Who knows, like you said, what really caused it to start.

I was diagnosed with tinnitus as a result of Depekote ototoxicity two years ago. I currently suffer from daily headaches and anxiety. Emerging research suggests that anticonvulsants, SSRIs and other anti-depressants show some promise in the reduction of chronic headaches. Due to my desire to avoid exaserbating either permenently or temporarily my chronic tinnitus I a fearful of the anti-convulsant and SSRI drug classes.

Also, I did read in the research literature that carvedlilol has been associated with ototoxicity and that a minor side effect is swallowing difficulty. I would guess these are not common though..

My Azithromycin makes me very nauseated when I take it. I do take it along with food, but this doesn't always help. Anyone ever experience this with an antibiotic and if so, any suggestions to alleviate it??

2%) on azithromycin and 1/22 (4.5%) on ciprofloxacin. Hence, azithromycin stat dose has proved to be a cost-effective treatment for uncomplicated gonorrhoea supported by the increased prevalence of penicillin-resistant organisms, concomitant chlamydial infection and the high failure rate in keeping review appointments.

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.

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?

I was prescribed 1g of azithromycin 3 weeka ago in the UK for chlamydia. Unfortunately from a bad reaction I had to a medicine years ago, I have a phobia of tablets, so I crushed the azithromycin, mixed it with water, waited for it to dissolve (about 2 hours), and drank it (very foul bitter taste). After 3 weeks, my chlamydia is back, exactly the same stomach cramps, and discharge (I'm female).

We we both prescribed 1000mg of azithromycin, 4 bills at 250mg. After 7 days of taking the medication we engaged in protected vaginal sex (condom). About 2 weeks later we performed unprotected oral sex (both of us giving and receiving) and continued with protected vaginal sex. 4 weeks after taking azithromycin I got re-tested for chlamydia which my results came back as negative. Her's came back as positive. How common is it for 1000mg azithromycin not to be effective for clamydia?

Ok so i was treated for Chlamydia [havent got results back yet] with the 4 pink pills called Azithromycin [one time dosage]. My symptoms were itchy penis and i had discharge coming from my penis. I was treated for Chlamydia and my symptoms pretty much went away i still have very mild discharge [only in the moring] its been almost a week since i was treated, is this normal? should it be complety gone already?

I took azithromycin single dose of 1g yesterday for diagnosed Chlamydia. Would it hurt me to take a 2g does the following day to cover the possibility of gonnorhea? It wasnt diagnosed but since I have the medicine here, I wanted to take it to really cover my bases but didnt want to overdose or anything. I wish I would have just taken a single 2g dose the first day.

I was diagnosed with Chlamydia a week ago, and took my antibiotics (azithromycin) two large 500 mg pills and threw up almost 30 minutes after...Does this mean i have to get re-dosed?

im taking azithromycin for chlamydia i couldnt swallow the tables...

I asked him if he would prescribe me treatment for gonorreah and chlamydia whilst I wait for the results as I am going out of my mind with worry. He advised against this but gave me a prescription of Azithromycin, with 500mg dosage twice a day for three days. In all my research online, I have read that the recommended dosage is 1g of Azithromycin taken once. Is the dosage I was prescribed as effective?

when taking azithromycin for Chlamydia or Gonnorhea, how long does it typically take symptoms to subside? i know often times with taking this drug or a similar one for something like a sore throat the symptoms may go away almost over night. is this the case in this situation as well? thanks a lot!

I wasn't entirely sure what topic to put this under but here is my quesiton... For months and months I've had trouble with my water works, I've had numerous urine samples, an ultrasound on my kidneys, x rays and I am now waiting on a cystoscopy. I've never felt the need to have an STD test because I have always believed my boyfriend was completely honest about his previous sexual encounters.

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.
