Dosage of cipro for gonorrhea
Common Questions and Answers about Dosage of cipro for gonorrhea
cipro
It seemed to match symptoms of Gonorrhea. I had been with a girl about a week prior, we never actually had sex (just fooling around naked) but she performed oral sex.
I have already taken two rounds of cipro and now the stinging when I urinate is gone however the discharge is still happening. I've seen a doctor but he hasn't determined anything and wants me to come back in 2 weeks for a urine test. He gave me vitamin E tablets.
As a result, I went to a pharmacy and got a 10-pack of 500mg Cipro and a 3 pack of 500mg Zipro. I took 1000mg of Cipro and 1000mg of Zipro yesterday and another 500mg of each today. Have a I taken enough of these drugs to kill both bacterial infections, and if so, how long should it take to clear up an infection if I do indeed have one?
either you have cipro-resistant gonorrhea (cipro should never be used against gonorrhea, it is highly unreliable); or some sort of non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU).
You need to return again to your doctor. Or see an STD specialist, if your doctor isn't one. This will be sorted out eventually, but you're going to need additional testing and probably different antibiotics. Please return with a follow-up ocmment about how it all turns out.
Am from Africa I have pus coming out of my penis and burning sensation and I was given cipro and doxycap I took it for 2weeks now but I had sex with ma partner at d middle of the dosage now I have finished taking the medicine still got pus coming out of my penis what should I do ...should I go and buy same medicine and continue taking it?
I was treated with 1gm of Azithromycin, a shot of Rosephin 250mg, 2 shots of Benzylpenicillin, and 2 gm of Flagyl to treat Trich, Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, and Syphilis. The Dr. did this to put my mind at ease and said it's highly unlikely, that if I had any of these, that I'd still have them after all of this treatment.
However, two days after treatment, the tip of my meatus/urethral opening started to sting. Not when I urinated, but most of the time.
It is unlikely any STD is the cause of the spot on your tonsil, but because of the slim chance of gonorrhea and borderline treatment, you could be tested for it. To be maximally safe, also have an HIV test in a few weeks -- but don't lose a lot of sleep about it in the meantime; almost certainly it will be negative.
Hello,
My question is actually for after receiving treatment. About 10-14 days after sex i was experiencing a very subtle completely clear discharge from my penis i called my friend who is a doctor. 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...
My doc prescribed me 1 g of zithromycin and 500mg of cipro for gonorrhea and chlamydia. I have some
strange antibiotic allergies. He explained that cipro is not as effective and we would retest. But how un effective is it and is it safe to be taken together? I just got them today and am nervous because the pharmacist said I should be careful if I have any heart problems...which I don't.
Hook said that my completing a course of cipro 40-48 hours before my exposure could cause gonorrhea and NGU symptoms to not appear. 3 days after my exposures, I noticed that inside the opening to my urethra (pee hole) was definitely more red than normal. Since then I have experienced mild burning when I first start to urinate (not excruciating burning, and sometimes there is no burning) and the redness areas/spots inside the opening to my urethra are still there.
i have tested positive for gonorrhea & i recently took 4 pills of ZITHROMAX & 3 pills of CIPRO . I'm not sure if its away ... but 4 days after i took the pills , i had protected sex .... i have couple questions::
1) even tho im not sure if i still have it & i had protected sex, is it possible if my partner could be tested positive ?
2) Im having very little symptoms but after i had sex, i had abominal pain.what could that mean ?
He also said that my timeline of A) having the oral exposures 2 days after finishing cipro and B) being tested for gonorrhea 13 days after the finishing of the cipro would definitely yield accurate test results. He mentioned that it was most likely NGU; however, he did a dipstick urine test and he said it was "clean." He wrote me a prescription for doxycycline just in case and told me to take it if the burning continues. Could NGU cause burning without discharge?
2-5 days is usual for gonorrhea, 7-10 days for chlamydia. The alternative is some sort of physical or chemical irritation. However, the symptoms came on too late for that; such a cause usually would be apparent immediately, perhaps as long as 6 hours but no more. However, if your regular girlfriend exposed you to something irritating -- spermicide, vaginal deodorant, etc -- perhaps that's the explanation.
2) Yes.
I went to get checked and the doctor prescribed 1g of azithromycin. That dosage should be enough for chlamydia, but after research, it seems like i might have gonorrhea since it was only oral. Chlamydia seems rare to be transmitted through oral.
I also saw on this site that another user was prescribed cipro 500mg and 1g azithromycin. Dr. Hhhhhh said that should be sufficient. I had extra cipro I my house, so i took 500mg along with the azithromycin.
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.
Just for your information, there are increasing numbers of gonorrhea strains resistent to cipro. And Azithromycin is more effective for treating Chlamydia. You need testing and treatment with the best antibiotic. I think you are having treatment failure with cipro. Please discuss this again with your doctor.
Went to Planned Parenthood and tested positive for Gonorrhea. I received the dual treatment of ceftriaxone and azithromycin. The symptoms cleared up and I though it was gone but a week water treatment I started to get discharge and burning again.
I went to my PCP and he prescribed Cipro but after 2 doses I got tendon pain so stopped taking it.
So I’m now thinking the original treatment didn’t kill it completely because it seems I had a really bad case.
