Common Questions and Answers about Cipro vs cephalexin

cipro

Avatar m tn I just had first root canal #14 through dental crown. Endodonist said there was pus -- infection. I have had allergic reaction to Levaquin and AzitheraI and have had side effects diarrhea and lightheaded from Cefdinir and Cephalexin so he prescribed Cipro 500mg. Said he doesn't usually prescribe but given that it have taken Cipro 250mg in the past (or urinary tract infection with no side effects. Is Cipro as effective as other antibiotics for dental infection?
Avatar m tn Hi, I was diagnosed with syphillis and was prescribed Cephalexin 500mg 3 times x day x 15 days, would that really cure the infection?, i'm really confuse, isn't penicilline the tratment of choice?
Avatar f tn And it seemed like I was leaking urine. Cipro cleared it up. So did cephalexin. And the burning was not bad and it was also not with urination. Turns out I have a 10-cm ovarian cyst that has probably been pulling things out of alignment in my pelvis. My CA-125 came back at 137 but the ultrasound of the cyst shows just a simple cyst. Large, but simple.
Avatar m tn Between strep antibiotics and for this I’ve been on azithromycin for 5 days, cephalexin for 10 days, clindamycin for 10 days, doxy for 7 days, just started cipro for 10 days. I’ve been on so many antibiotics and if it was bacterial wouldn’t the the utheral tube also be red and the other side of the opening ? 2.) Thoughts on whether the redness is HPV? 3.) Any suggestions on what it could be or what what tests I should run?
Avatar n tn I DEVELOPED PNEUMONIA IN MARCH, ABOUT THE TIME THAT I SWITCHED FROM NATURE -THROID TO ARMOUR. CEPHALEXIN DIDN'T WORK, CIPRO WAS NEXT FOR THE USUAL COURSE. DIDN'T WORK SO ZITHROMAX WAS THE LAST AND WAS MORE EFFECTIVE. ABOUT THE SAME TIME MY ARRYTHMIAS( PVCS AND PACS) BECAME MORE PROMINENT AND AT TIMES MY HEART RATE WAS AS LOW AS 33. ( WITH LIGHTHEADEDNESS AND EXHAUSTION, MUCH LOUDER HEART SOUND EFFECTS ETC.
Avatar f tn First I took sulfameth for 10 days it seemed to help but two days after I finished it the UTI came back so I took cephalexin for 14 days it didn't seem to work as well as the first one but I finished it. The urgency to pee and the bladder spasms never really went away so now I'm taking cipro and it's not working at all I've been on it for 7 days so far.
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 f tn was aware I had the seizure problem and prescribed cipro, which I had to call and tell them to send me something different. The one at the pharmacy now is Augmentin. Just need a neurologist`s expert opinion as to whether or not it is alright to take Augmentin with my myoclonic seizure condition. Do not want to start up any seizures. However, this UTI is hurting so badly!!! If It is too risky then I can`t take it!!!! Please help me.
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 GP did prostate exam, it might be bacterial prostatis...no massage/culture done. Given Cipro 1g daily X14days. Stopped after 2 days, side effects, no effect on symptoms. 1. Could this be some variation of Herpes? 2. Could any STD cause Prostatis? Travel up urethra to prostate? GP thinks so. On cephalexin 2g day for nasal surgery, paranoid it could be HSV permanently messed up my urethra. GP/STD clinic here don't do HSV blood tests (Canada). Only swab if leasions present.
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 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 It is conceivable you acquried NGU, and the timing certainly is consistent with that possibility. However, the symptoms you describe are not typical for NGU or any other STD; the symptoms are identical to those of chlamydia, which you have experienced. So prostatitis indeed sounds like a good bet -- or, perhaps more likely, the chronic pelvic pain syndrome.
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?
Avatar m tn If you want to substitute Cipro for one of these other drugs Cipro is in the same drug class as Levofloxacin. Levofloxacin will have the similar side effect though. Strep group B is the problem allthough it depends on if the prostate sample was collected sterilily such as a biopsy. If so then the virudans strep could also be the problem and viridans strep are more resistant to antibiotics.
Avatar m tn t go away for months sends me to urolgist who diagnosis me with prostatitis, gives me 30 days supply of cipro, then another 30 days then another 30 days. I tell him I think the Cipro has given me a yeast infection. He looks at my red scrotem and the flaky skin on the head of my penis and tells me it looks normal to him. Funniest thing to me is the reason Dr. diagnosed prostatitis is because all tests were negative, no inflamtion no cancer, had digital exam, ultrasound and MRI.

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 was about to be cured from Gonorrhea but i skip some dosage of cephalexin, my problem now is i need to switch to CIPROFLOXACIN but i found out that it wasn't working for me some how im one of those patient's who were resistant to it according to the UPDATES on GONORRHEA RESISTANCE... should i go back to cephalexin? my dosage before was 500mg 3x a day...
