Avatar n tn has given me 10 days of clindamycin to be taken 3 times a day at a dose of 450 mgs. this is fine, i can take clindamycin with no ill effects. HOWEVER, i have read that this drug is not commonly used to treat std's as there are so many better options. Is clindamycin going to work??? Thanks.
Avatar f tn Cephalexin (Keflex) is a good antibiotic as well. The similarity with penicillin is only important for people who are allergic to penicillin (as they will also be allergic to keflex). Personally, I would go with Azithromycin (or Clindamycin) if penicillin isn't working, but Cephalexin is different enough it might work. You can tell if its working if the pain/swelling go away in 4-5 days.
Avatar f tn Over the course of the last month and a half I have been on 4 different antibiotics for different problems. Biccilin, azithromycin, amoxicillin, and clindamycin. About a week ago after I finished the clindamycin I had absolute crazy diarrhea, abdominal pain(mostly radiating from my right side) and loss of appetite. I was tested for cdiff. By my dr and the test came back -.
Avatar f tn I and my husband received IV continous infusion Clindamycin treatment times 7 days and the followup testing showed we were both positive with clamydia. I still have pain in my right kidney that I usually have with chronic UTI. I am taking Cipro now for E. facelis but infection will not go away. It is too the point I don't want to have intercourse with my husband. Also did two months of oral macrobid and clarithomycin both I and my husband. Don't know what to do please advise.

Avatar f tn Thank you for your help. I am sitting here close to tears because I just called the dentist and he said since the penicillen didn't work, the only other alternative is Clindamycin. I really do not know what to do. I could deal with some discomfort, but my experience with Clindamycin was horrible. I just know if this infection is not cleared up by the 24th, the oral surgeon will not extract these teeth and the misery is just going to go on and on.
Avatar n tn Is it ok to take azithromycin while taking methadome 110mg. for opiate withdrawel abset in mouth.next to tooth.
Avatar f tn I have som anitbiotics (azithromycin) and I was just wondering can you use its for BV????
Avatar n tn ve never had a tooth extraction while having abscessing going on, and she said it was fine. Tooth was pulled and was sent home with an Rx of Clindamycin (150mg), 4xday. Infection got worse. Dentist, then used a lazer to open and drain the infected area. Several shots (7-8) of novacaine was needed to numb the area. After procedure, my mouth hurt and burned the worst that I've ever experienced before. The infection is still there.
Avatar f tn He said since i had the sore throat then these sores are from that and prescribed me ten days of clindamycin and then diflucan to take away the yeast infection the. Clindamycin has always given me. Whats your opinion on this? Oh by the way the doc said even thou my hsv1 is genital it can still travel up to my mouth? What do you think?
Avatar f tn In the mean time, if augmentin and clindamycin are not effective, I would try erythromycin family drug, such as azithromycin or clarithromycin , paired with metronidazole(flagyl). If itis possible, antibiotic sensitivity test can be done in the lab to determine which antibiotic is most effective for the cultured bacteria. Hope this helps.
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 f tn pending as of today Since exposure ive had a root canal done. And I have been on 4 different antibiotics. Biccilin, azithromycin. (Given to me by clinic to combat other stds) amoxicillin and clindamycin. (For root canal) my questions are: 1) can all of these antibiotics ive been on delay/impact tests taken? 2) are my tests up to this point a good indication of a - status? 3) can my root canal have delayed p24 from showing up on tests?
Avatar f tn Two weeks after I had sexual contact I began having itchiness on my vulva. And then a few days later, I began having purulent discharge it's whit to yellow consistency and there's a lot almost like milk. I went to see an OB GYN for pelvic exam and lab test. I had pelvic pain same when you have period cramps. Inflamed vulva and cervix. The doctor suspected bacterial infection and gave me antibiotics "doxycycline" twice a day for one week and clindamycin once a day for a week.
Avatar m tn I am concerned about possible drug interactions between the antibiotic azithromycin and the two heart medications warfarin and amiodarone. My relative has brief history of heart problems span one and a half years (though the underlying heart condition itself appears to be congenital). Rhythm problems resulted in CHF, hospitalization, and later diagnosis and heart surgery. Subsequent dysrhythmia and CHF has been prevented adequately with medication.
Avatar m tn Hi, just a week ago, I began to have watery stools after I took only two pills of azithromycin which was part of a three antibiotic pack I received from my nurse practitioner for a case of what he said was bronchitis, but since I had had c diff two years before, due to Clindamycin, I didn't take any others. The watery stools stopped after the next couple of days, but they were still unformed.
Avatar m tn 6-8 RBCs (Hpf): 1-2 Epithelial Cells and Clumps seen I have very few symptoms - very slight sensation when urinating - and moderate white growth just below tip of penis. I have been prescribed Zithromax (Azithromycin) 250mg (6 tablets - take 2 on first day and take 1 for next 4 days) MY QUESTIONS: 1) For a first-time treatment, does this course of antibiotics make sense? (is it the best antibiotic? Is it the best strength and length of dose?
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?
798555 tn?1292787551 I started with Azithromycin, and then a week later on Rifampin for Bartonella. At six weeks, I stopped the azithromycin and started Bicillin shots. I needed either Bicilin shots or Rocephin thanks to my late stage neuro symptoms. I was usually also on an oral antibiotic for Lyme along with the shots. The oral med was switched out often. I have taken Biaxin+Plaquenil, Clindamycin, Doxycycline, and now Augmentin XR since I'm off the shots.
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.
