Most uncomplicated UTIs can be treated with oral antibiotics such as trimethoprim, cephalosporins, nitrofurantoin, or a fluoroquinolone (e.g., ciprofloxacin or levofloxacin). Trimethoprim is probably the most widely used antibiotic for UTIs and is usually taken for 7 days. It is often recommended that trimethoprim be taken at night to ensure maximal urinary concentrations and increase its effectiveness.
Penicillin, ampicillin, cefotaxime are a similar drug class Cephaloporins and penicillin type drugs, and levofloxacin and cipro are also in their own drug class (quinolones) while vancomycin is a diffierent drug class.
Let me know what I can help you with. Or if I answered your question.
The reactivity of 13 quinolones (levofloxacin, ofloxacin, pefloxacin, enoxacin, moxifloxacin, gatifloxacin, trovafloxacin, sparfloxacin, lomefloxacin, ciprofloxacin, clinafloxacin, norfloxacin, and nalidixic acid) was tested in 5 commercial opiate screening assays from September 1998 to March 1999. In 6 healthy volunteers, we confirmed the cross-reactivity of levofloxacin or ofloxacin with these opiate screening assays.
Few weeks later i got a uninary tract infection . for 3 weeks I have and still been under antibiotics (levofloxacin,ciprofloxacin,clarithromycin,doxycycline and cefuroxime ) i went for an Hiv test 6 weeks after exposure and was negative. I once had extreme fatigue for a whole day during this medication.. My question is could these antibiotics delay immune response to Hiv and thus delay antibody production???
A ran to my gynecologist and asked for an STD test, however due to lack of discharge he only checked me for chlamydia and he did a general swab. I was given azithromycin for 6 days, ciprofloxacin for 5 days and flagyl ovules. I felt fine after the treatment and my doctor told me i did not have chlamydia. My life went on, i only was experiencing a mild yellowish discharge but i didn't really bother about that (too bad, my mistake).

I’m really worried I tried ejaculating after my first set of naproxin and levofloxacin and I got a clear semen no white at all. It freaked me out so I tried it again at the after noon that day I got a white semen but watery it still freaked me out so that night I tried it again n it looks like a normal semen. Now that my right testicle is starting to hurt I’m really worried I’m a 29 yr old virgin I wanted to father my own children someday. Anyone can jump in? Help me with my problem?

Antibiotics that are specific for the urogenital tract include ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin, levofloxacin, and sparfloxacin. Dosages and doses vary basedon the antibiotic you want to start.
For example, ciprofloxacin is administered twice daily in 500 mg tablets for 7 days.
Then on the 2nd of January 2012, i went to the GP, and the doc gave me ciprofloxacin, says it might be bacteria.. then Asked me to do a stool sample, and i did, it was clear(no bacteria in stool)
But My diarrhea stopped around 2 weeks...
I went back to see the doctor, he said Your gut takes time to settle (might take weeks or months)
He gave me buscopan... i took for 3 days but to no effect, then i reached out to my gastro specialist back home, he told me why buscopan?
When that happened I ifgured it must be an STD and went and got tested and everything was negative Ive taken Azithromycin, metroNIDAZOLE, Doxycyline hyclate, ciprofloxacin hcl, and levofloxacin, these all supressed the systoms but it always comes back has been like this for about a year now.
Be sure to be off of antibiotics for 3 weeks, and test your first void urine only. Also, if you have taken ciprofloxacin of levofloxacin, you can still take Moxifloxacin and have a decent shot of curing the infection, if it’s indeed MG.
She was also menstruating at the time. I was treated and the symptoms have since gone away. I contacted female A and urged her to get tested as well. She claims to have had no other sexual intercourse, at least in the past several years. Still, she went to be tested. She had a vaginal swab taken for analysis, as well as a visual check on the internal portion of her vagina. About 6 days later, the lab results were in, and the doctor informed her that she did not have Chlamydia.

Then I went to the urologyst again , who took my Stamey Test - samples of urine and prostate liquid , and sperm analysys. Surprise! Urine and Prostate Liquid were clear, without any result, but the Sperm Analysis showed an Enteroccocus ++++ Infection .
I went to an infectionist, who talked to my urologyst and together tried to give me a treatment by the result of the antibiogram of my enteroccocus.
So...
Thanks for the input, Grace. Epididymitis is often caused by strains of chlamydia and gonorrhea, or by coliform bacteria in homosexual men. I posted here because I was curious if anyone knew about fluoroquinolone resistance in C. Trachomatis (levofloxacin vs. ciprofloxacin, bacteriostatic or bactericidal effects), or anything along those lines.
7, it was one of my worst experiences ever, they gave me cold bathes, sponging, ice and all, well it got over some how, and i was give 21 injections of meronem 1g three times a day for seven days along with azithromycin 500mg per day.
It should have cleared the typhoid but well it did not.
After month of thinking i am clear of this ****, i was not and i again developed tyhpid when i started to have fever on and off again, i went for typhoid test it came back positive.
But if you responded well to fluroquinolones (Ciprofloxacin) you could try a drug called levofloxacin for 3 months at the highest dose. Doctors will be reluctant to prescribe it, but it is necessary. Doctor Bundrick in the USA from Arktalex urology is an expert in this. As is professor Malone lee, both you can book online appointments with if necessary. I’m not giving you medical advice just telling you what I’ve heard work.
The 2 antibiotics which I took for 4 weeks simultaneously are Levofloxacin and Sulfamethoxazole. The last bout that I had with this s TDI literally doubled dosed on both of them daily for a month straight. It really felt like my body was destroyed and I could barely be alive. I had severe liver pain in my right quadrant and kidney pain on both sides. But it was the only thing that ended up making my prostate pain go away.
I don't know if I have Trich or not but I was wondering if taking Ciprofloxacin 500mg 2x daily would cure it?
