Ciprofloxacin for gonorrhea
Common Questions and Answers about Ciprofloxacin for gonorrhea
cipro
Yeah along with a 7 to 10 day course of Doxy for Chlamydia.
Then I panicked and ran to the nearest pharmacy and and took 1g of Zithromax, 400mg of Cefixime and 2x500g of Ciprofloxacin. I am planning to take additionally 500mg of Ciprofloxacin 2x daily.
My questions are now 1) Are these treatments effective so soon after potential exposure or do I have to wait and see if I get symptoms and then repeat the treatment? 2) Will these treatments generally cure Gonorrhea, Chlamydia and Syphills or do I need others?
The doctor give me ciprofloxacin 750 mg twice a day for 10 days. He try to find any discharge for testing but he cannot find any. He make a culture urine test. I did not receive the result. This is the 3rd day in treatment I didn't see any discharge but still have burn in my pines and under my abdominal. Is this the right Treatment? As I didn't see any discharge is this mean I'm cure from gonorrhea? Do I need to change the Medicine even if I don't have discharge only pain?
Symptoms disappeared almost immediately. Swab test came back negative for chlamydia and gonorrhea. Blood test also returned negative.
On day 8, I experienced a return of symptoms. Very warm sensation behind and (seemingly) in the testicles. Also a thin discharge and frequent urination. Testicles remained warm (and very low hanging) but not as warm as on day 8. Urologist prescribed Cipro (250mg 2x/day 10 days). Did not alleviate the symptoms.
Ciprofloxacin 500mg for 5 days = 1tab morning and 1tab night
Azax 500mg 2 tab in a week for 2 weeks
doxycyclin 100mg 1tab daily for 15days
He not write any std test for confirmation. I read all over the internet about gonorrhea and chlamydia. Please advise me above medicines works for gonorrhea and chlamydia. Or only works for NGU.
Should i tested for gonorrhea and chlamydia or just eat the medicines? I read that ciprofloxin works for gonorrhea treatment. Please help me.
Discharge is cleared but lower abdominal pain en testicular pain still there! Today got ciprofloxacin perscribed for a week! Any info would be highly appreciated!!
The following drugs were prescribed the for me Ciprofloxacin. After using the drug for some days, the burning sensation stopped and the red swollen vanished. I continued to use the drugs until I comleted the dosage.
Despite that the burning sensation and the red swelling vanished, I still have the thick white discharge from the tip of my penis till date.
It is three months now and I still have this complaint. Please what is my fate? How do I get rid of this gonorrhea?
Please help.
Amoxicillin is not usually given for stds. In fact, I don't know of any that it actually would treat. Most bacterial non-gonorrheal stds are treated with doxycycline 2/day for 7-10 days or Azithromycin 2g one time. For gonorrhea, you need a shot, I forget what it's called plus Ciprofloxacin. For viral stds, they have no cure although you may be able to reduce symptoms by taking antiviral medications.
In any case, with the medication taken above with the ciprofloxacin for 10 days. Would I be covered for chlamydia, gonorrhea, trich? Should I ask for those tests when I go back for the for the followup or would the antibiotics really skew the results?
Am I just overreacting?
No pain during urination and no discharge. I got tested for chlamydia, gonorrhea and HIV RNA at day 5 and day 13 after possible exposure and both came back negative. My symptoms started happening 5 days after my last sexual encounter. It has been 3 weeks with this pain now. I sometimes also feel my legs/feet hot and with some pain the back of my legs and buttocks. I am worried that I have something more serious but I cannot find information about STDs with my type of symptoms.
After I explained my symptoms he gave me one dose of 1000 mg Azithromycin and 500 mg Ciprofloxacin for 7 days, as he assumed that I have Chlamydia and Gonorrhea but we didn’t take any test. 48 hours later the discharge and muscle pain disappeared, but my throat was still sore and my tongue white-yellow and my lymph node under my jaw got swollen as well and I felt discomfort on the head of my penis and testicles.

My guess is that this is another name for ciprofloxacin, a medication which will cure most but not all gonorrhea (some strains are resistant). If you got gonorrhea and the ciprofloxacin did not cure it, you will most likely develop a discharge from your penis in short order (a few days).
3. I'm not sure what this is but yes, you should always tell doctors what other medications you've taken.
4. See above- probably
5. No.
he prescribed me 4*100mg pills of metronidazole at once and 100mg doxycycline twice daily for 10 more days. He said that the urine DNA test for gonorrhea will probably give false positive at this point since there are probably still some dead bacteria there and that if symptoms continue after 10 days I should do that DNA test. I hope that it will work...
Thank you again.
But the doctors that it was because of exams DST never put your chances of having chlamydia and gonorrhea orally, after a few months I had an infection in the lungs. My doctor passed to me to take 7 days Ciprofloxacin 500 mg, 3 days Azithromycin 1g. I have not been diagnosed with any of these diseases, I think it was because he did not request a test for gonorrhea or chlamydia in the throat. After my medication my symptoms disappeared after 4 to 5 days later.
Hi,
I am on medication for other reasons and doctor prescribed "Proxacin 500 ciprofloxacin" twice a day for 14 days. I investigated about the drug and found that it also cures for gonorrhea and chlamydia spp, urinary tract infections and so many other infections
I was tested for chlamydia trachomatis PCR 2 days after unprotected oral sex and was negative.
On the other hand, the drug is not reliably effective for chlamydial infections and the frequency of ciprofloxacin resistant gonorrhea in the US now exceeds 20% making it a poor choice for that process as well. Recommended therapy for sexually transmitted proctitis is a shot of ceftriaxone and 7 days of doxycycline (a single 1.0 g dose of azithromycin may be as good as 7 days of doxy but has not been studied.
t hurt, but afterwards there can be a slight stinging sensation. Reading up on symptoms I can either have a UTI or gonorrhea.
and even though gonorrhea can be resistant, it would be rare for it to not respond to at least one of the drugs you have received.
So all things considered, I think viral urethritis, likely due to adenovirus, is a very good bet. If so, it will clear up without treatment, typically within a couple of weeks. My bet is your symptoms will start to improve in the next few days and will be gone within a week or so.
Ten days ago, I was diagnosed with Gonorrhea on a swab test at a sexual health clinic. I was treated with 400mg of ciprofloxacin as well as a seven day course of doxycycline for potential chlamydia. Almost immediately, the symptoms began to clear up (discharge, irritation). About seven days later (and after completing the doxycycline) I noticed the symptoms returning.
The cipro was entirely out of your system within a couple days of the last dose, so it would not delay onset of symptoms or the time to reliable testing. That interval, for gonorrhea, probably is around 2 days after the last exposure. For chlamydia it may be longer, e.g. 5 days or so, but as I said, chlamydia is not a significant risk from oral sex anyway.
Your symptoms indeed sound consistent with prostatitis.
t like it , so I asked her to remove it and she gave me hand job instead, since we few days I feel tingling in urethra, slight burning off and on
I am just worried if I got some STD cause of the tingling , I had ciprofloxacin 500mg twice for three days , now I was thinking for having 1 g azithromycin to make sure everything is cleared up Chlamydia and Gonorrhea or something else too.
No pain during urination and no discharge. I tested for chlamydia and gonorrhea at day 5 and day 13 after possible exposure and both came back negative. I sometimes also feel my legs/feet hot and with some pain the back of my legs and buttocks. I am worried that I have something more serious but I cannot find information about STDs with my type of symptoms. Please share any ideas you have. I visited the doctor (urologist) twice and he gave me painkillers plus antibiotics (ciprofloxacin).
Whether or not that is done, without awaiting your test results, I would recommend you be treated for gonorrhea -- which also routinely includes coverage for chlamydia/NGU as well. In most of the world, the usual treatment would be an injection of ceftriaxone plus oral treatment either with azithromycin (single dose) or doxycyline (7 days).
You could also print out this thread as a framework for discussion with your doctor or clinic.
