Common Questions and Answers about Ciprofloxacin for gonorrhea

cipro

my friend has today been told he has gonorrhea, his docter has prescribed one tablet of ciprofloxacin, can you tell us about this medicine and could gonorrhea be life threatening ? as you can immagine we are very concerned, .

No that will not work for chlamydia, and it might or might not work for gonorrhea. There are several resistant strains now.

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?

but that discharge never stopped so i finally took her to doctor. and she was diagnosis as Gonorrhea patient. but she was a virgin and she never had any boy in her life. . i told doctor that its me who might have spread to her. i told him my sex history also. then he told me that its possibly through me only because my girl never had any1 before. i was really frustrate when doctor diagnosis but i told doctor its me who have lots of girl.

I just wanted to find out if ciprofloxacin can treat gonorhea. I had a discharge on my penis and was prescribed cipro for five days. After taking this for 2 days the discharge stopped and after finishing the course even the pain disappeared. My fear is that the infection might reoccure since im told cipro is not the best treatment for sti.

i took ciprofloxacin 500 twise a day for four days....now i think what if it was not gonorrhea....can these medecine have adverse effect if taken without prescription...

A day later I had some strange yellow discharge and I am also having pain in my lower abdominal area. The bactrim made me sick so I am now taking Ciprofloxacin 500mg. I have been taking this for 2 days. my symptoms are still there but a lot better then they where. I read that cipro can cure gonorrhea if I had it, is this true and when should I be back to normal???

Dear Doctor, I was diagnosed of Gonorrhea in April 2011. I went to the hospital because I started having a constant burning sensation on my penis about 3 days after the intercourse (whether I am urinating or not) which was worsened by a red swollen opening of penis and then a thick white discharge from the tip of my penis about five days after the intercourse. The following drugs were prescribed the for me Ciprofloxacin.

before we started i asked if he was poz or neg and he told me neg and last tested 3 months ago seems ok, but here is the concern. 1. 36 hours later i got penile gonorrhea 2. also, i was constipated and had been having some blood perhaps from a hemroid those days before this. my concern: 1. gonorrhea: my doc gave me a one powder pack of azythromiacin and one pill of ciprofloxacin (500 mg). i took these 24 hours ago and still have some dripping.

Someone posted on this site that Azithromycin will not cure Gonorrhea, however I read on the Pfizer web site that it will cure gonorrhea and chlamydia. So my question is, will a 2 gram dose of Azithromycin cure both Gonorrhea and Chlamydia.

Well my symptoms are i have mucus in my mouth as before i kissed a girl and received oral sex(thats not my issue) and i was given azithromycin and ciprofloxacin(twice) aobut 2 months ago it went then i had a cold from playing bal outside for a logn time around 7 or 8 degrees aobut 1 month ago well i spit out mucus and i saw yellow( now so u kno i dont smoke and never performed oral sex) i wnet to teh doctor they said it couldnt be an std cuz there was no sexual intercourse but my question is if

i forgot to tell my doctor that i was having anal sex too, and would just one pill get rid of gonorrhea or is there a different way to treat anal gonorrhea. i had all other test done as well which included hiv, clamydia, herpes, hpv ....etc and all were negative, i was wondering should i be worried about anal herpes or hpv but from what i read the symptoms from these shouldnt last as long as ive been having them, i am making another doctors appt.

metronidazole for trichomonasis, azithromycin for Chlamydia, and ciprofloxacin for gonorrhea. (I should note that simultaneous with the treatment a urine sample was taken which came back negative for both Chlamydia and Gonorrhea, but this sample was taken only three days after my suspected exposure, so I was unsure if the test would be reliable). After the treatment, some of my symptoms went away, but I still had cramping in my bladder and burning during urination.

And as I have said, I doubt you have it anyway. As for gonorrhea testing, I see no need. Gonorrhea without discahrge of overt pus from the urethra is rare. That said, testing won't hurt -- but why are you waiting? Gonorrhea testing is valid within a couple days of sexual exposure, so there is no obvious reason for a delay. But taking doxycycline beforehand will make the test invalid.

I saw a doctor on 11/22 because I was concerned about possibly having gonorrhea. He also mentioned herpes as a potential condition. He examined my penis, said my urethra looked normal. He said it was a little bit red but that it was within the normal limits. There has been no fever, no joint pain, or general feelings of sickness, no and no discharge or milky white fluid from my penis. I have no blisters or sores at the tip of my urethra.

Hello, If I am allergic to penicillin or other types of ceftriaxone, can I take something like ciprofloxacine or azithromycin? I've had these before for other bacterial infections without problems, but I don't know if they will cure gonorrhea.

Well its happened, Gonorrhea has been diagnosed. Have spent the past couple of days hunting for information on what the options might be and noticed theres lots of vague 'possibilities' discussed on most websites, lots of contradictions, and absolutely nothing from the UK perspective. Does anyone know the differences and effectiveness between US and UK treatments?

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.

i was infected a month a ago and i immediately i noticed the symptoms, i went on ciprofloxacin full dose, after which the symptoms showed up again, i went on erythromycin nd cefixeme, the symptoms still persisted after, my doctor then place me on a 5 day antibiotic injection( don't know the class of antibiotics) and now, its still here, please somebody help me

is it likely that I have std such as gonorrhea or chlamydia? If not, what other causes could there be? What are the odds of getting one of these stds by having protected sex? thanks for your help.

You are correct to be worried about resistant gonorrhea in Thailand. Throughout Asia many (most?) gonorrhea bacteria are entirely resistant to the fluoroquinolone antibiotics (cipro and others) and many are resistant to the tetracyclines (doxycycline). I doubt your diabetes is playing a role here, especially if it is reasonably well controlled; and your prior testicular injury is unlikely to make you more susceptible to epididymitis. Nevertheless, you need to be reexamined promptly.

Moxifloxacin is a quinolone antibiotic, like ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, and others. Gonorrhea resistant to the quinolones is spreading rapidly, especially in gay men. (You don't say the sex of your partner, so I don't know your orientation.) However, many strains remain susceptible. But I doubt you have gonorrhea, so it's probably not relevant. Some quinolones are active against chlamydia, others not--but as I said, chlamydia isn't an issue.

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.

After my research on internet, I believe, I got infected by Gonorrhea after receiving unprotected oral sex from my partner who had Tonsil throat infection. The symptoms (penile discharge, burning sensation, frequent need to urine) started about 3 days after the act and upon describing the symptoms to my Dr. he gave me i) Ciprofloxacin 500mg ii) Doxycycline Monohydrate 100mg twice a day for 2 weeks whilst refraining from doing any lab tests as he is not a specialist in STDs etc.

Hello, After my research on internet (01/11/09), I learned that I got infected by Gonorrhea after receiving unprotected oral sex from my partner who had Tonsil throat infection. The symptoms (penile discharge, burning sensation, frequent need to urine) started about 3 days after the act and upon describing the symptoms to my Dr.

I am a 42 year old married white male. I have no history of STDs or other medical problems. Generally, very healthy. Four and a half months ago I gave oral sex to another woman (not my wife). This included vaginal and anal stimulation. There was no intercourse and she did not perform oral sex on me. Up until two weeks ago I exhibited no symptoms of anything. Then I began to feel a slight pain in my left testicle. It was not persistent, rather it was uncomfortable on occasion.

Hi doctor, I am afraid of catching Chlamydia and gonorrhea for a long time and not know it since it is almost always asymptomatic. First of all, I would like to tell you that I have never been to std testing until two days ago, because my fiance wanted to do the test before getting married later in the summer. I have read a lot of scary things about those infections. I never had symptoms and as you know, the culture is, no symptoms, no check ups.

i told him that i was having a clear discharge that was very subtle and would only occur a couple times a day very lightly. I have read that Chlamydia/Gonorrhea cause more of a thick whitish or yellow discharge and painful urination so i was a bit confused... I took antibiotics for Chalmydia (azithromycin), Gonorrhea (Cipro), and Trich (can't recall the med). Well, i took them all on Monday or Tuesday afternoon.

I should also mention that in the meantime I had read that Minocycline is not very effective for Gonorrhea (50%). The doctor then prescribed me a single 500mg dose of Ciprofloxacine, and advised me to keep taking the minocycline until the end of the 10 days. He also gave me Ciloxan for my eyes, 4 times a day. That was four days ago. As my eyes were not getting any better (a little worse, in fact), nor the redness and discomort of my urethra, I went to an STD/Andrology specialist.
