Avatar n tn doxy will only kill chlamydia It will NOT kill other STDs like HIV, herpes, HPV, trichomonas, etc. AND your sex partner(s) that you had in the past 60 days also need to be treated for 7 days BEFORE you have sex. or else you will be infected AGAIN shot of Penicillin? are you some 3rd world country? we use ceftriaxone in the USA penicillin will only cover syphillis but you want to cover gonorrhea you need ceftriaxone bottom line: see your doctor.
Avatar f tn I've been on penicillin for a week for a toothache and my pvc's are worse than they've ever been..I called the Dr to request doxycycline as I've taken it before with no issues, but does it work for a tooth Infection? I also have mitral valve prolapse..
8684005 tn?1399808789 Primary and secondary stage Syphilis are usually treated with 1 intra muscular injection of Benzathyne Penicillin (24 million units), or, if a person is allergic to Penicillin, then Doxycycline is recommended (100 mg tablets, twice per day, each tablet 12 hours apart for 14 days). That is, if the infection lasted for under 1 year.
Avatar f tn After two days most of the rash healed but today is the 7th day I take Doxycycline (I take them very strict every 12 hours) and I have one white patch on the tongue and one a little few maybe spots on the neck. Is Doxycycline not working on me? Should I be worried? I can't take penicillin. 2. If someone touch by hand or hug me where the rash is, without sexual contact is it possible to infect them with syphilis as well? 3.

Avatar n tn In patients allergic to beta-lactams, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim), clarithromycin (Biaxin), and azithromycin. So, if you are allergic to the penicillin group your doctor could have prescribed Bactrim for you. Regards.
20308575 tn?1494746077 may i take shot of penicillin after completing doxycycline? and may i can start doxycycline again for 14 days?
Avatar f tn January 25th I was diagnosed and treated for syphilis. I was under the impression that I was allergic to penicillin so I was treated with doxycycline for 28 because of my high titer 1:256 During that time I drank atleast 3 times a week because of depressed I was with this. I also threw up a few times. April 6th I went to my gyn told them my situation and was retested. Of course it came back positive my dr gave me more doxycycline for 2 weeks.
Avatar m tn I had a syphilis diagnosis Feb 14...wasn't really sure what stage it was in, but the titer came back at 1:16. Before I actually knew I had syphilis I thought it was a sore throat, so I took a Z-pak and when I was retested a week later the result was 1:1 nonreactive. The nurse was saying that was odd. I had two rounds of Pen G injections for two weeks. Abstained from sex...same partner, he was tested and came back negative of all stds.
Avatar m tn Hello I was treated for Secondary Syphilis last December 6th, 2013 with Doxycycline therapy (100mg 2x daily - each pill taken 12 hours apart for 14 days) due to shortage of Penicillin and suspected allergy to Penicillin.
Avatar m tn According to most websites tetracycline is part of the penicillin family and is also used gonorrhoea, syphilis and chlamydia. I just wanted to check this is true?
Avatar f tn He has started treatment with doxycycline and azithromycin. A day after starting treatment a few red spots appeared under the skin on his hands (both hands, 3/4 sports clustered together). The skin is not broken, the spots are under the skin. They have also started to fade away after a day. We asume these are a syphilis rash. Since the skin is not broken, are these red spots contagious? Can I get syphilis from shaking his hand? What about from hugging him?
Avatar m tn I am mortified to say this but I was diagnosed with syphilis and started doxycycline yesterday (2-15-13). I have 2 sores on my lip, sort of inside. How long will it take to go away? Is there anything I can put on them? Should I be washing them or something? And (ewww) this stuff is coming off like a yellowish semi-crusty discharge.
Avatar m tn I was diagnosed for secondary stage syphillis, had red spots on the body and pain & discomfort on my joints & throughout my body.
Avatar m tn I was infected with std and my dotor gave me 1 vial of penicillin injection and 10 days of antibiotic doxycycline the discarge was gone but afterseveral weeks i atarted to feel itching all over my body sometimes there's a rash or but not specifically on my palm or feet. the itch came from random area of my body head, face, hands, legs, chest and etc. please help me on what do i need to do to resolve this thank you!
Avatar m tn t occur. And even if you had syphilis, I see no reason for the doxycycline. Penicillin alone is highly reliable -- more so than doxycycline. Unless he gave you the wrong kind of penicillin. You might ask whether he treated you with the form called benzathine penicillin (brand name Bicillin), which is correct; or procaine penicillin, which is not.
Avatar f tn ) I have access to a large quantity of Azithromycin not expired or old. I find no drug interactions between doxycycline and Azithromycin so will it help eradicate the infection if I give a two combo punch similar to a two-three drug regimen that is available for HIV? Going to take doxycycline 200mg/total a day split into two doses and since I took 3g of Azithromycin already was going to take 500mg a day for 15 days. I just want to make sure I won’t be doing more harm than good.
Avatar f tn symptoms, stage, why doxycycline and not penicillin, and so on.
Avatar m tn Due to my allergy to penicillin, the doctor prescribed a 2 week treatment of doxycycline. I have completed the treatment. How long should I wait to be retested to make sure the treatment was effective? What would the expected results be?
Avatar f tn Thus was also associated with his dry eye...so he says. He goes to doc and they give him doxycycline. Is he lying or telling the truth. Does he have a std or not? Why would they give him this med? He says its penicillin and should clear things up.help.
Avatar n tn I have read lots of your post concerning biaxin and azithromycin and whether they cure syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia and NGU. I have found that biaxin is chemically different than azithromycin but biologically same at killing bacteria as azithromycin. On some post you say that azithromycin or clarithromycin(biaxin) would cure all the bacterial stds then in others you state that there could be some problems. by H. Hunter Handsfield, M.D.
Avatar n tn If I been on doxycycline for 15 days and taking my antibiotics like I suppose to what are the chances that I could have spreaded syphillis while giving oral sex if I didn't finish? My activity included licking and briefly sucking it for like a 2-3 mins and then stopping..
Avatar m tn My questions are, how soon can an accurate positive/negative result be tested? And, since I have a skin rash that develops with Penicillin treatment, are there treatment options that are just as effective, or can/do I qualify for a desensitization procedure, (how long would that take?). Once on antibiotics when will I be able to have sex again? I have, in remission, guttate Psoriasis.
Avatar n tn Now, after 4 weekly injections of penicillin, plus a course of doxycycline there is simply no way that you could have active syphilis form your exposure of concern. Most exposures do not lead to infection and you have been (over) treated in a manner which would prevent syphilis following exposure. Your serological test conclusively prove that you do not have syphilis related to your exposure of concern in November. In answer to your questions: 1.
Avatar m tn 10 year old syphilis infection was recently treated with 14 day IV penicillin antibiotic. 24 million units a day. Classic heximer reactions were experienced. The symptoms have returned shortly after the treatment. What would cause a 14 day IV treatment to fail? And in such a case what would be the followup treatment to kill the spirochete fully?
