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.
Avatar f tn I started experiencing clearpenile discharge (milky in the morning)- only symptom. 3 days later a tele doctor proscribed me azithromycin. Symptoms continued after 3 days and I went for an in person visit and got treated for chlamydia, trichomoniasis, and gonorrhea. I took a shot of ceftriaxzone and a does of azithromycin and metronidizole. My test for chlamydia, trichomoniasis, and gonorrhea came back negative and 3 days later my symptoms persisted.
Avatar f tn She told me it the itching might be from inflammation, but still ended up prescribing me doxycycline rather than Azithromycin like the first time. I’ve been taking it since Friday today is the 4th day, but I’m still having mild itching.
Avatar f tn Just looking for anymore information or advise about withdraws from Fioricet / I have been taking this medication from years from Migrain headaches, it's seemed the longer I was on it the less it helped so I would increase my doses because I could not get rid of my headaches the other day I just stopped using it because it was like just this non stop headache.
Avatar f tn Results: 11 patients (26.2%) had a positive TOC following treatment with stat azithromycin. The risk of re-infection was excluded in two, identifying nine of the 11 (81.8%) as treatment failures. Two patients had a positive TOC following treatment with 1 week of doxycycline, both were found to have a risk of re-infection. There was a significantly higher treatment failure rate in patients receiving azithromycin (p=0.0025).
Avatar f tn The information you all have provided here is greatly appreciated and not to mention very informative. I'm working on learning everything I can to help two people actually. They're a couple so it's very hard. But I know there are problems with addiction for both of them. I figure the more knowledge I have the more prepared I will be. I have one of them willing to talk to me tonight. He knows what I'm going to be talking about and I'm so surprised he said ok...
Avatar m tn Sorry for the confusion; I thought you had returned to Germany. No harm would likely come from taking both cefixime and azithromycin, but I doubt you need the cefixime -- and you may not need azithromycin either. But that's as much as I can say. I suggest again that you see a physician or clinic in person. Fortunately, excellent STD services are available in Thailand.
Avatar m tn To address my sinus infection he diagnosed azithromycin with 500 mg the first day then 250 mg the next four days. My questions are this: 1) Without noticeable symptoms to my genitals, the eye and sinus infection do not seem to be indicators of an STD but a garden variety infection. Is that true? 2) Would the azithromycin dosage he prescribed remedy NGU if I did have it?
Avatar n tn I am working in a country where medical help is difficult to come by, and women's sexual health is severely underserved. I went to a clinic to be tested for STIs because of a risky encounter I had and some irregularities I noticed. Sure enough, I was diagnosed with both chlamydia and gonorrhea. The doctor prescribed me 1g of azithromycin. From information I've found from independent research, I don't believe this is going to be sufficient to cure the gonorrhea.
408795 tn?1324935675 Although not as specific, it contain much of the same information and is readily available to the patient and the doctor. This information label was given to me by my GI to read and discuss regarding issues related to anger and depression and the potential for needing an AD sometime during trt. I would hope all doctors discuss this prior to trt, but this may not be the case. I'm also curious what "psychological evaluations" are being done.
Avatar f tn There should be a prescribing information sheet included with a prescription medicine that will list known side effects.
Avatar n tn Three days later I visited an STD clinic and I was told I may have urethritis so I was given a one-time dose of Azithromycin. I was also tested for chlamydia/gonorrhea but I will not know the results until next week. It has now been three days since I have taken the Azithromycin however my symptoms (tingling/throbbing sensation in penis, burning when peeing) has yet to go away. In fact, I think it may have gotten worse (but still no discharge). My questions are: 1.
Avatar m tn Welcome back to the forum. I'll try to help. It is important that you provide all relevant information when you ask questions on MedHelp's professionally moderated forums. The version of this question on the urology forum doesn't mention your sexual exposures, your positive tests for gonorrhea and chlamydia, and their treatment, and a couple weeks ago you asked only whether azithromycin (1 gram) would cure gonorrhea.
Avatar m tn I was prescribed Azithromycin to syphilis (early stage). I am allergic to penicilin. However, the doctor prescribed 5 doses (one a day) of 500mg (that is, during 5 days). But I have read that for Syphillis the recommendation is 1g dose (instead of 500mg). 1) Is the dose prescribed enough for Syphillis? 2) five days is enough?
Avatar f tn I think your local Pharmacist would have this information. If not they will probably get it for you. They are the true experts in medication and prescribing law and best of all their service is free. I hope you are able to find the answers.
Avatar m tn The quick test they do come back that I tested positive for a NSU and the doctors gave me some Azithromycin. I have now come out in a rash on my hands and over my body which looks like little white flat blisters under my skill. I have been googling and under the Seroconversion illness I have found exactly what the rash looks like! I am now so scared after taking some comfort that I had passed the original 2-4 week window.
Avatar n tn I did some research online and found that 2grams of Azithromycin. So I get the meds and I took them tonight. Should that kick it? btw- I developed 3 open sores. they've healed now ( almost except one) but if you could give some advice, I'd appreciate it. THANKS! Should syphilis take this long to manifest itself?
Avatar m tn I took 500 mg of it every day for three days. I believed Azithromycin was recomended for Chalmydia treatment not for Gonorrhea or, better, wasn't first choice for gonoccoccical infections. Would it really have cured gonorrhea if I had in my throat?
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.
