zithromax

Avatar n tn I've had a fever between 100.5-101.8 over the last two days, burning urination, blood in urine, slight fatigue at night, and no other symptoms. I just began taking an unused Z-pak I've had. I know this could be chlamydia, gonorrhea, and or UTI. 1) Will Z-pak help? 2) What other drug/dosage is commonly prescribed for UTIs?
Avatar f tn Yes, a ZPack is azithromycin, but a ZPack is actually a pre-packaged 5 day course, at least here in the US. And I just learned that it's Z-Pak. Cute. This is an image of what it looks like - https://www.grxstatic.com/d4fuqqd5l3dbz/products/tms/Package_14438.
Avatar n tn 00 noon approximately 23 hrs after I took the 1g of z-pak ?
Avatar f tn About a week after the event, I camed down with an upper respiratory infection and was prescribed a Z Pak. I was to take the first 2 pill the first night, a total of 500 mg and 250 mg for the following four days. My question is... do you think that is effective against eliminating Gonnorhea if I were to have it? And what other STD's could this take care of?
5915949 tn?1396188227 I think that's your personal judgment call, most women are willing to take a catagory A or B. I did not take a z-pack, but I took azithromycin & it is also category B. Do the benefits outweigh the risks?
Avatar n tn Welcome to the STD forum. HIV test results are completely reliable within 6-8 weeks after exposure, so your negative test results at 67 days prove you didn't catch HIV. (There wasn't much chance of getting infected anyway. It is the rare stripper who has HIV.) And no medicines have any effect on HIV test results -- and certainly common antibiotics like azithromycin (Z-pak) don't do so. I see no need for any further testing.
Avatar n tn Is it possible that this is an STD, or did I just coincidentally catch a flu/cold? I have an old Z-Pak I never used from being sick last winter that I started taking today ( I know I shouldn't play doctor)... but would It make sense to take it now? If it is an STD, would azithromycin in this dosage regimen help? As a possibly related question, I drank a big gulp of coffee that was too hot on Sunday (yesterday) and burned my esophagus and have had a sore throat since then.
1418572 tn?1285957661 A nurse practitioner gave me Azithromycin 250mg pak generic for zithromax 250 z-pak. My neck did feel funny and got stiffer from taking it. I took it for 5 days which ended on the 7th. But my lymph is still swollen. So I took an hiv test on the 13th which is 11 days from when I felt the swollen lymph. (the test was clearview hiv1/2 complete. It was a finger prick. It also came back negative.
Avatar n tn I was able to get a prescription for Azithromycin and according to the CDC, 1g orally is the recommended dose. As such, I took 4 pills of the Z-Pak tonight (four 250mg tablets). I am planning to take the remaining two tablets over the course of the next two days. Will this cure chlamydia and did I do this right? I feel silly asking this since I received the prescription from a doctor but it was at a clinic and it seemed like they were just trying to get me in and get me out.
Avatar n tn You will end up (if the infection is bacterial) with an infection resistant to antibiotics. See a physician for a proper prescription and antibiotic. Many physician choose zithromax (the Z-pak) as the broad-spectrum antibiotic of choice for a lung infection.
1067297 tn?1255030564 Flagyl and biaxin worked well for my.. doxy, not so much. Plaquenil & Z-Pak is a newer protocol docs are using (well at least up here in canada, everyone knows how ignorant the canadian health care system is towrd lyme).. good luck!
Avatar f tn Azithromycin also called z-pak if Im not mistaken and I are best friends lol. I get it all the time when I have bronchitis. Its safe but you neex to eat something before taking it to avoid the side effects that you're getting.
212161 tn?1599427282 I've taken z pak often and it hasn't given me palps or made me anxious. Everyone reacts differently to medications but since this is an antibiotic typically the most common side effect is stomach upset.
Avatar n tn I was taking it for Chlamydia trachomatis infection...
Avatar m tn Continuing pain despite yet another course of azithromycin: Still stronger evidence against STD. Subsequent improvement (but then not so much) on ciprofloxacin: There is no STD that responds to cipro but not azithro and doxy. Theoretically gonorrhea could do that, but there are many other reasons to be confident gonorrhea was not the problem. My guess is that no infection of any kind is the problem here.
Avatar m tn Well, it depends on the strength. If you had a 500 mg z-pak, it would clear up chlamydia and NGU. Doxy 100 mg 2x/day would also cure chlamydia and NGU. They won't cure gonorrhea or syphilis, though.
Avatar n tn The z pak is Azithromycin that is a macrolide-type antibiotic and is used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections by stopping the growth of bacteria. Azithromycin will not work for viral infections such as the common cold or flu. If you have been prescribed with this antibiotic by your doctor, it is likely that you were prescribed this medication because the doctor was of the opinion that you have a chest infection or a upper respiratory tract infection, or both.
Avatar m tn m somewhat skeptical about your positive gonorrhea and chlamydia tests, by the way. If I understand correctly, you were given azithromycin (Z-Pak) early on, then had the positive tests a few weeks later. Azithromycin is highly reliable against chlamydia and pretty good against gonorrhea; it would be quite unusual for either one to persist after such treatment. It can happen, but you might discuss this with your doctor -- e.g.
Avatar n tn I had become ill with a winter respiratory infection and went to my PCP who prescribed azithromycin. The Z-Pak nailed in the infection but at the same time, my PVC's vanished. I mentioned this to my PCP on a followup visit, and he claims there is no connection.
Avatar m tn So I'm an idiot. Got drunk the night after being prescribed Z-Pak (1 gram at once) because the clinic prefers to overtreat and said it looked like I "might" have something. The condom broke. Wondering A) if the Z-pak would prevent me from getting any new infection from this partner, even though I took it 36 hours before and B) what are the chances I infected the partner with anything? When we turned on the lights, it turned out she was bleeding so that freaked me out too.
Avatar f tn i still believe it is from the z pak,does anyone know if permanent damage can be from a z pak?
Avatar m tn Even if your partner is infected, the chance of STD or HIV transmission is low for any particular exposure. And your azithromycin (Z pak) treatment would reliably prevent most treatable STDs, including all chlamydia, almost all gonorrhea, and probably all nongonococcal urethritis (NGU). Some syphilis is resistant to azithromycin, but heterosexually transmitted syphilis is rare in this situation.
Avatar f tn well,where do i start,i was put on azithrymicin,z pak, got bacteria vaginosis,was given a round of flagyl after 10 days after being on the z pak,developed thrush and only took 2 flagyl so i never cleared the bv. took nyastin for a week did not work,then fluconzole for a week ,1 pill 100 mg for 7 days,worked ut i think i got lichen planus in my mouth. tongue hurts and burning,now i still have o take flagyl to clear up the bv.
