Avatar m tn i was about to be cured from Gonorrhea but i skip some dosage of cephalexin, my problem now is i need to switch to CIPROFLOXACIN but i found out that it wasn't working for me some how im one of those patient's who were resistant to it according to the UPDATES on GONORRHEA RESISTANCE... should i go back to cephalexin? my dosage before was 500mg 3x a day... This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/247377'>Keflex</a>.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar n tn 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?
Avatar m tn I went back to the clinic and they said it should be no way I still have chlamydia but they saw that I had a massive amount of discharge in my penis(which I am assuming came about because I was off of medication) so they gave me another 1g dosage of Azithromycin and also a 4 day dosage of Azithromycin to take over the next 5 days(starting the next day since I had just taken the 1g of Azithromycin).
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar n tn Yeah along with a 7 to 10 day course of Doxy for Chlamydia.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn Yes, it can be gonorrhea or chlamydia, which is something I need to test for orally. It's been very hard for me to find anyone to test for this orally in my area.
Avatar m tn I had to have a root canal redone as my previous dentist did not get the whole nerve and it became infected. The Dentist put me on amoxicillin 875mg twice a day, after 6 days I called him as it was having no effect. he then put me on clyndamycin 300mg twice a day, this is day two, it seemed better this morning and by this afternoon it isswelling slightly the tissue above my tooth is spongie again and I can tell it's filling with pus.
Avatar n tn 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?
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar m tn 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!!
Avatar m tn I can understand that you do not have any medical services available to you but, unless you happen to a licensed medical persons, I suggest you play the waiting game until you are able to find medical assistance. Amoxicilin does treat for gonorrhea but the depends on the potency of measure prescribed to you to clear the deed. This is why I'm telling you only medical personnel should be advising you as to what medication you should be taking.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn took to stop after taking the medication - literally within hours of taking CIPROFLOXACIN. Have read a lot of people taking other medications who have to endure discharge for several days after starting medications. The ones I was given were instantly effective.
Avatar m tn 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?
Avatar m tn The doses of azithromycin studies for treatment of chlamydia, NGU, and gonorrhea have been studied when the medication is taken as single doses. Thus, questions about doses taken at lower doses and on different schedules is difficult to answer and require estimation of their effectiveness as opposed to answers based firmly on scientific studies.
Avatar f tn Im taking ciprofloxacin 500gm for medication .wl l recover after being infected 4 a year before?
Avatar f tn After 9 days of taking ciprofloxacin I went to a virologist and he have me Bactrim F which I have been taking for 5 days but still very little improvement. Pain has sort of moved more from testicles to urethra. Im very desperate and my body and mind are exhausted from this ordeal. Any help and information would be greatly appreciated.
Avatar f tn Is the antibiotic ciprofloxacin effective to treat chlamydia? If so, what dosage?
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar m tn In addition, a single exposure to an infected sex partner usually does not result in infection (the transmission rates for different STDs differ between them but for female to male transmission, none of the rates exceed about 20% per episode of intercourse and for some, like HIV, the risk is far smaller, like 0.01% per sex act). Thus you can take some comfort there. Now lets move forward to what we know about.
Avatar m tn 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. 4.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar m tn Have your current GF tested I think she will be negative because again I think you had a false positive. Men will not go that long without some kind of symptoms of gonorrhea and like I said unless you had unprotected anal sex then your anal discharge has nothing to do with gonorrhea. 3. Antibiotics often have side effects so it could be giving you this pain.
Avatar f tn s that you could have been at risk for would have been gonorrhea or NGU, and the doxycycline would have taken care of both. The new symptoms you have are not related to an STI. They could be psychosomatic, or they could be related to something entirely different (e.g., irritated skin). But you shouldn't lose sleep over an STI.
