Common Questions and Answers about Azithromycin vs cephalexin

zithromax

Avatar f tn t want to take the Clindamycin because it made me so ill, he prescribed Cephalexin. Does anybody know anything about this drug? I looked it up and it said it is similar to penicillen. Will it work since the penicillen didn't? Sorry to sound so paranoid, but my dentist is not very easy to talk to about this and I am so scared. I hate when people/doctors think you're exaggerating. Believe me, I want to find a drug that will take care of this! Then maybe the pain will go away!
Avatar n tn There is no reason to take any antibiotics for this exposure. If you did, cephalexin would be the wrong one. Doxycycline or azithromycin would be preferable.
Avatar m tn and testicles are a little sore and 1 day my groin was sore and a slight itch on front a penis every once in a while. I have been on cephalexin 500mg 2 a day for a sinus infection, but I still feel these symptoms. I am married and am scared. Is it possible I have an STD?
Avatar f tn she was given a shot of an antibiotic and 2 500mg pills of azithromycin, and I was given one gram of zithromax powder... we took our prescriptions about five days ago and now we are enjoying some spring break vacation and couldn't resist each other.... sooo we decided to go at it with a condom.... well to our luck it busted and we did not realize it til we were done...
Avatar m tn normal masturbation - first ejaculation in six weeks. Felt VERY painful afterwards. * Week 8: started doxycycline, 3 days later penis pain gone. I was masturbating throughout taking doxycycline and was no abnormal pain, other than second last day it was VERY rough, pain hurt immediately and persisted for a few days then cleared up. Week 11: Protected sex with condoms twice -- penis pain is back :-( Week 12: started cipro -- now three days and still painful penis.
Avatar m tn A cephalosporin (such as ceftriaxone) combined with doxycycline is an alternative. Azithromycin can be used for susceptible strains. In children, quinolones and doxycycline are best avoided. Since bacteria that cause urinary tract infections are often the cause of epididymitis in children, co-trimoxazole or suited penicillins (for example, cephalexin) can be used. If there is a sexually transmitted disease, the partner should also be treated.' http://en.wikipedia.
Avatar m tn He thinks I have a case of prostatitis and put me on Ciprofloxacin 2x daily for 10 days and have a followup on that day. I also had him get me a prescription for 2g Azithromycin, 2g Metronidazole, and then 1g of Cephalexin all taken on 3/27. I asked if I could possibly have chlamydia or gonorrhea but he said with blood in the urinalysis and my given symptoms, "If you had gonorrhea you would have known and felt it by now.
Avatar m tn I was treated with cephalexin (3gr in a dose) and azithromycin (2 gr in a dose), but I took azithromycin just immediately of lunch (bad very bad for me). The treatment for chlamydia and gonorrhea was right (including incident with meals)? My odds for have HIV are high with this 2 positive results? (Waiting for a 6 weeks Syphilis test and 3 months for Elisa test) :'( Thank you. Morboson.
Avatar m tn Days after I became sick with a sore throat, I was diagnosed with strep group C after 3 weeks. I was put on a variety of antibiotics (azithromycin / cephalexin / clindamycin ) for the strep. Sore throat has lasted 8 weeks, but it's improved a lot. After 4-5 weeks, I started getting very concerned that I picked up an STD as the throat was not improving. At 6 weeks post exposure, I started noticing some pain in urethra.
Avatar f tn Has anyone else had to take Cephalexin while pregnant? I'm 19 weeks and taking 3 pills a day for a week for an infection on my toe. I'm a big worry wart as this is my first pregnancy and I'm wondering if anyone else has taken it or had any problems.
Avatar n tn I'm 11 weeks pregnant and I was diagnosed with a UTI. I was prescribed cephalexin at the hospital I went to. I was told to take it 4 times a day for 7 days. Will this effect my baby? I'm unsure. I'm not allergic to any medications. Please let me know if any of you have had the same concerns.
Avatar m tn I got infected about 3 weeks ago with Gonorrhea of the throat i had a mild sore throat and just thought it was tonsillitis since i suffer from it a lot i just went to a STD clinic and told me i have Gonorrhea in the throat and since i am extremely allergic to penicillin they gave me 2 gm of Azithromycin to take in a single dose which i did today. Now, since yesterday i have been experiencing some joint discomfort and sever non-stop tingling all over my body. My question is could this be DGI?
1655377 tn?1302050621 All sound like symptoms of cephalexin.See your doctor and ask advice.You might have to taper off slowly.
Avatar f tn I was put on a mild bacteria killer but this had no effects on the staph, so my DR. placed me on the stronger cephalexin and after a bit, everything seemingly went away. However, I also began to notice a little bit of discomfort around my anus, mostly when flexing my sphincter or with a bit of pressure, but not when using the toilet. I also noticed that my inner thigh area became somewhat itchy when wearing tight clothing or when my legs would rub together.
Avatar m tn My dog was taking cephalexin. After a couple of days she started acting tired not eating. Then she had 5 seizures they were six hrs apart. Took her to the vet they put her on phenobarbital 2 pills twice a day. Seizures have stopped, but she cannot walk very good her rear end doesn't work right, all she does is sleep, her eyes are red a puffy. I asked the vet if she could be allergic to cephalexin. She said she didn't think this drug could cause a seizure.
Avatar m tn I had unprotected vaginal intercourse w/ my girlfriend in the days before I became symptomatic. My girlfriend had been taking cephalexin 4 times a day from 2/24 until a day or so ago (she had a minor dental procedure and was prescribed the cephalexin I'm assuming to prevent infection). Would the cephalexin have treated any potential gonorrhea infection?
1541943 tn?1293121717 took to vet blood work showed elevated white blood cells. sometimes lyme disease goes undetected. the vet prescribed cephalexin tues evening. i gave her a 2nd dose wed morning she was more swollen around and under jaw and neck. she ate a little chicken with antibiotics drank a little bit of water, laid in same spot for days. i found a deer tick last night. this morning i gave her a 4th dose of antibiotics , swelling has become liquid under jaw some side swelling has decreased minimal.
Avatar f tn My doctor said I had a bacteria in my urine...has anyone taken Cephalexin before.... I'm only 5 weeks and I have to take em' 4× 7 days....
Avatar n tn I was put on Cephalexin 500mg twice a day, to cure Impetigo that I developed after a bad chest cold. I am allergic to amoxicillin, but my doc said I shouldn't react to it. It has been 3 days since I have started the medication, and I have developed little red bumps all over my body, and I am becoming very itchy. Could this be the antibiotic's doing?
Avatar f tn After he told me I have been watching my self closely and I have some cephalexin 500mg that the doctor gave me for an urine tract infection about 9-10 months ago and I have 2 refills, should I get them refilled and start treating myself until I can get to the doctor. I've called and they don't have anything available till the end of this month. I've been to the free clinic three times and they are so crowded I can never get seen.
Avatar m tn I told the doctor that this particular medication had done nothing for my issue previously, but they refused to look into anything other than herpes. Third time I went to the ER and was given Cephalexin for a bacterial infection. I was also in so much pain they gave me Dilaudid. Cephalexin cleared up all symptoms in about a day and I continued taking it until the pills ran out. Literally 2 days after I ran out of Cephalexin the symptoms have returned.
