cut azithromycin in half

Hello, a week ago i shaved in the afternoon around 5 pm then had a small cut and wasnt aware of it so at night i went clubbing and around 5 am in the morning i had protected sex with a prostitute and lasted 5 minutes and the base of my penis wasnt fully covered. Im worried bout hiv. So 5 days later im taking azithromycin.

I've had some suggestions to cut the pills in half, but I have capsules, not tablets and they cannot be cut in half. What should I do??

My husband was diagnosed with bronchitis in the airways on Sunday. Today he's worse. He's coughing harder, severe chest pain, feverish, and the part that scares me is that he has this sharp, stabbing pain in the middle of his lower back, he say's it feels like his kidneys but we are not sure. He's seen 3 different Docs since this started about 3 and a half weeks ago, and none of them has done a chest X Ray.

Isn't Opana Time Released? I know you're the doctor, but I don't think you should inform people to cut their medications in half, ESPECIALLY if they're time released as this could cause a rapid release of all the medication in turn making her more sick, or am I wrong?

Yes, my pill can be split in half. I don't have a pill spliter, so I am wondering if I can use a knife to cut it. I already cut it actually and it split right in half. My pill has a "divit" like a divider already so it cut very easily.

I wanted to know if I can cut the pills in half. Would taking 250mg. be as effective? All the symptoms of my uti are gone. I was supposed to take the pills for 7 days and I stopped after 4 because of side effects.

Metoprolol 25 mg. Does it make a difference in what I'm taking, wether I can cut in half or not? The PA knows what I am taking and he told me just to cut it.

Azithrimycin is effective therefore I would think that maybe something else was allowed to take root in the Chlamydia’s place? If this isn’t the case then the Azithromycin did not in fact eradicate the infection and, as you suggest the doctor may want to use a different antibiotic like Doxy. I would suggest that you keep a journal, drink plenty of water, jot down these questions and others you think of and show up to your next appointment prepared to get answers.

Does anyone know if Harvoni tablets can be cut in half or crushed to take easier, mixed with jello or yogurt to insure that it is absorbed. My digestive system is fast. I can not find anything in the literature that says you can or can not break in half.

The 10mg zyrtec is too strong for me so can I cut it in half and take 5mg instead?

When will her symptoms disappear? The internet says a week, but the half life of azithromycin is 11 to 14 hours. That would suggest that this medicine is not present after three days. So why wait longer?

Azithromycin is thought to be highly effective for treatment of chlamydial infection although one recent report has suggested that the treatment failure rate may be increasing slightly (despite this, the vast majority of chlamydial infections will still be successfully treated with azithromycin).

I'm 7 weeks pregnant and contracted a uterus infection and my doctor prescribed me two cycles of 1000mg of azithromycin and I'd love a second opinion!

5 days later i took azithromycin out of anxiety and while feeling a little pain in my right tesitcles. During the period of azithromycin i had diarheaa. When i was done with azithromycin diarheaa was gone. Then again out of anxiety about my right testicle i was feeling mild pain and discomfort and on the groin and burny ejaculation i contacted a doctor explained to him and he said i should take ciptofloxacin for 14 days. This is my 3rd day and im still having some mild pain.

I touched the buttocks of a csw with a minor cut in my right index finger. The wound happened when cutting nails roughly 4 hours before the encounter. What are the risks of sti?

I was perscribed a single 1000mg tablet of Azithromycin (Zithromax). I took it at about 6pm and half way through the night, my neck (sternocleidomastoid near where it connects to my head) was very sore and swollen, my glands dont seem swollen though. Also felt sinus congestion and all around lousy. I have felt this way for over 60hours. Is this a side effect of Azithromycin? Does anyone have any other info for what might cause this?

Yes its ok to cut it in half. It should have a little place on the pill where to cut it. If you want to be absolutely sure you can always ask your pharmacist.

Wow, a coma, not good! I am very glad you have two weeks worth of meds left. I would also try to taper down as much as I could from what you have left. If you have the strips, cut, cut, cut! If you have pills, cut, cut, cut! I know how hard it is, I've been on them for like 690 days and wish I would have NEVER went the sub route. And yes, these addicted brains are VERY cunning and baffling, that's why aftercare is such a must. Do you attend any meetings, counseling, etc?

I went out of the country last weeked and I picked up 14 pills of Azithromycin. My questions are is 1G of Azithromycin enough for both, someone suggested I do 1G single does and then on 500mg tab for two days? Is that over kill ? I'd rather do more then less. Any thoughts would be welcome...

While away from home on business I had one night of repeated unprotected sex with a woman I had just met and 3 days later I developed some mild symptoms of Chlamydia. Today, the 4th day after the encounter, I went to the clinic, described my symptoms, and was treated with one dose of 2g azithromycin (8 x 250mg) in case of gonorrhea as well, since I can't really wait for my test results to come back before I get treatment. I was away for a while and my wife is ready to jump me.

The causes of NGU are chlamydia 30-40% of cases, Mycoplasma genitalium 10-15%, and in about half the cases the cause is unknown. Most cases don't have the redness you describe, and the symptoms usually start at 1-2 weeks after exposure. You were given azithromycin (the only antibiotic nomally given as a single 1 g dose), which is the drug of choice for most NGU. Had you had any of the causes above, or NGU of unknown cause, your symptoms would have cleared promptly.

just wanted to add that i did test positive for chlamydia bout a month ago and was treated with azithromycin and also metrinidazole in case of trich... still been having sympyoms up until the bleeding tonight...also wanted to add that the cut was visibly gone when i went to take a shower but still sore in the area where it was....Also the first time i urinated after the bleeding it burned for during and for about 2 minutes afterward around the tip.....

I took 500 mg of it every day for three days. I believed Azithromycin was recomended for Chalmydia treatment not for Gonorrhea or, better, wasn't first choice for gonoccoccical infections. Would it really have cured gonorrhea if I had in my throat?

Tested, and negative for covid. Took azithromycin, and loss my sense of smell and taste since then. Its been month and a half, and still cant get my senses back. Can smell things only close to my nose, and little to no taste. My doctor thinks that is postviral smell loss. Sinuses are clear, my nose too. Everything has cleared up. I dont know if this is a side effect from the medicine. Read on internet that its a rare side effect, but im so terrified.

I did the same thing back in February, getting nervous about my cholesterol blood tests. Things came out great back then with the exception that my overall cholesterol number was low, 106 mg/dl from 130 mg/dl three months earlier. Monday (5-17-10) I see my PCP to go over these numbers as well as to discuss another newly diagnosed ear problem for the first time (superior canal dehiscence). Currently I take a 40mg Simvastatin every night.

I took my last pill of Zithromax on thursday the 17th about 8 o'clock that night. My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex Sunday the 20th about 930 that morning. I had stopped discharging the morning before and hadn't the whole day. I read that your suppose to wait 7 days so is it most likely I ended up getting him infected? The morning after I started discharge a lil but it was clear and doesn't have a smell so I'm guessing that is from me being pregnant not this or am I wrong?

Gave and received unprotected with a transgender escort(I finished they did not). After the encounter I immediately took 1500mg of azithromycin. Followed by 7 days of doxy 100 twice daily (I was away and drinking alcohol here and there while on the doxy). Approximately 1 month later I noticed a gland in my groin that is swollen and a bit achy. Putting 2 and 2 together I also realized I have a cut on my foot that may be slightly infected.
