Avatar f tn Can someone tell me what STDs can be treated with Doxycycline? Can you list all of them please? Thank you.
Avatar n tn It might be, it does seem a little light but it could clear a STD up if you had it. Best thing is always wait for tests. And I think this is why the Dr went light on the dosage.
Avatar n tn Sulfa drugs were commonly used against Gonorrhea and Chlamydia in the 30's and 40's and still remain effective against Chlamydia....not so much against Gonorrhea. However, resistance to sulfa drugs has steadily increased and typically treatment for one includes treatment for the other.. and today Chlamydia is usually treated with doxycycline.
Avatar m tn It might or might not kill the bacteria, it depends on the dosage and consistency and some other things. Doxycycline is not always effective vs gonococci, so, no guarantees here. Taking antibiotics would certainly mess with your test results. So, you should complete your doxycycline regimen first then test in a week or two.
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...

Avatar m tn I went to urologist who checked prostate (which was fine), did bladder scan, and tested my urine for gonorrhea, chlamydia, trichonomas, mycoplasma/ureaplasma. I was on doxycycline for the first urine tests which came back negative. Then I retested 5 days after being off doxycycline. Tests were still negative. I’m still having the symptoms. Had a CBC done and WBC was 5.5 in normal range. My Questions are below: 1.
Avatar m tn can u plz tell me whether these are because of medicine or gonorrhea or is it hiv....my doctor is giving me azithromycin,cefixime and doxycycline....he told me that hiv test is possible after 60 days.....is there any way to find it..??
Avatar m tn Having taken antibiotics for helicobacter would have also reduced your risk for getting some STDs (syphilis, perhaps gonorrhea).
Avatar m tn The doctors gave me Azithromycin, and Cefixime, assuming I had either gonorrhea or chlamydia. The results took 2 weeks to get, and my symptoms never fully cleared up. I finally got the results, and all came up negative (for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphillis, HIV). By this time the symptoms had moved more to my bladder, and felt pressure, and increasing frequency in urination. So I made a doctors appointment, and my doc quickly decided I had non gonococcal urethritis.
Avatar f tn Hi there. My doctor gave me 20 days of doxycycline 100mg pr day for gonorrhea. Will that clear it up? I read that it is suppose to cure gonorrhea but also Cipro could do that.
Avatar f tn I was treated with ceftriaxone and Doxycycline but my wife was only treated with 100mg of Doxycycline twice a day for 7 days. She was not diagnosed. Is it possible that Doxycycline will cure Gonorrhea on its own. She felt some burning in her urethra but only after treatment. Her Dr. thought it may be just a yeast infection from strong antibiotics. What are the chances her complete uranylisis will show that she is negative for Gonorrhea?
Avatar n tn Hi I went to the doctor and he put me on doxycycline while awaiting the STD lab results. For the past two days I'm taking the antibiotic I notice that for most of the day my burning pain in penis and genitals is diminished. It may come back later in the day but once I take my next dosage it dissapates again. Inever broke out into sores anywhere atleast that I noticed just this constant burning in genitals. My question is Would doxycycline affect herpes in this way.
Avatar m tn Had a question about Azithromycn. I know that 2g in a single dose is protocol for a gonorrhea infection. Would the efficacy of this drug & dosage to cure the disease be the same if 1 gram was taken on one day and another 1 gram the next? I assume this regimen would have the potential to lessen the possible GI side effects.
Avatar f tn I see a lot of people asking about z pack curing chlamydia/gonorrhea and the common response is “It has to be 1g at once to work.” I’m confused by this. 1 g is 1,500mg. The typical z pack is 1,500mg total over the course of 5 days. 500mg on day one and then 250mg the next four days. So my question is, why would it HAVE to be 1,000mg of z pack at once to work rather than also 1,500 over 5 days?
Avatar m tn ) In addition to the virtually zero risk of oral gonorrhea by cunnilingus, plus symptoms that favor other infections, the dose of doxycycline you received almost certainly would have promptly cleared your symptoms if gonorrhea if that was the cause. 2) The throat culture was useless while taking doxycycline. Even if you had gonorrhea, the culture would be negative. 3) I recommend against further treatment, with azithromycin (Z-pak) or anything else.
Avatar m tn Doxycycline effectively treats and cures most bacterial STDs, including chlamydia, syphilis, and most cases of gonorrhea (depending in part on the dose). Accordingly, it will make gonorrhea and chlamydia tests negative, and may result in lower strength in RPR and VDRL, commonly used to diagnose syphilis. But this isn't really the same as "interference": that is, the tests themselves work just fine after or during doxycycline treatment.
Avatar m tn -No discharge that I could tell (maybe small amount) and no visible sores or issues with penile appearance -Went into local health clinic and they examined me and then tested me and prescribed me a week dosage of doxycycline. -Around this time, my ex-girlfriend contacted me to tell me she had tested positive for chlamydia during her annual check-up but negative for all other STDs. -It is now day 6 since I started doxycycline .
Avatar m tn Hi, I got my penis sucked by one of my friends and it was not very deep oral sex..but it was for a considerable period of time. Please let me know if i have to test for any STD or I need not worry about testing. If i have to take any medication before any such gestation period for any pathogen what can I take? Or should i consult a doctor for this? Also, I have read Gonorrhea Chlamydia Syphilis can be treated with Doxycycline..
Avatar n tn How affective is doxycycline 100mg when taken for a period of seven days to cure infections and std's present in the body alone with a shot a penicillin.
Avatar n tn How long it takes to treat Chlamydia and Gonorrhea with antibiotics.
Avatar m tn 2)They suspect I can also have gonorrhea. Just in case, will the 2g azithoromycin dosage cure it as well? I know that cefixime is also recommended, but due to lack of resources I would like to know if 2g azithoromycin would be enough. PS.: the lesion is in anus. Thanks again for your help.
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with gonorrhea and received a shot (don't know which kind) on December 13th, started Doxycycline the next day, once a day for 7 days ending on the 20th. So that's 7 days after after receiving the shot. I had unprotected sex 4 days after finishing the pills, which is also 7 days after the shot. Is my partner at risk for gonorrhea? And do I need to be retested?
