Avatar f tn night sweats. My doctor diagnosed me with pneumonia and prescribed levofloxacin. Levofloxacin was taken from 02/24 to 03/02.

Avatar n tn how can this treatment of a single dose after sex prophylactically be effective? doesnt it take a number of days for the medication to reach an effective level in the system, or does it work by bypassing kidney filtration an ending up directly in the ureters, bladder, and urethra upon urination? i have had good results prophylactically and at the first onset withi the topical application of small amounts of OTC cortisone cream and antibiotic ointment around and at the entrance to the urethra.
Avatar f tn I have been on the levofloxacin for 5 days now and the testicle ache has gone and come back, along with the irritation under the head. Still no discharge excepting during one bowel movement. My significant other has been suffering from mid month spotting from a low dose pill for months, however this month it is heavier and longer like a full fledged period. Any ideas on what is going on? The only thing I can come up with is a false negative for chlamydia on the initial test.
Avatar f tn m having a hard time finding much information about how a MRSA throat infection is treated, however. I did read on drugs.com that pneumonia caused by staph should be treated for 7-10 days with Azithromycin, with the first two days by IV.. and I am worried that it's spread to his lung (which he says is hurting).. so still concerned that 4 days isn't enough. I need to read a bit more and get info from him about the dosage he's on. Thanks again for your answer!
Avatar n tn I ended up needing 3 rounds of the levofloxacin, and ended up needing to do a week of each for the prednisone, so it was more like 60mg for 7 days, 50mg 7 days, 40 for 7 days, etc. until I was finally able to come off of it and was no longer having breathing issues. She also had me on advair 250/50 for this time period to get me off the prednisone faster. With all that prednisone, I went up to about 250lbs.
Avatar n tn Have you been diagnosed with syphilis through a blood test?
Avatar f tn My Anc was at 280 last week. They reduced my pegintron and I am taking one injection of neupogen a week for now. I don't blame you for not skipping. I am not too happy about the dose reduction either. I know it's different with everybody, but how much did the neupogen improve your anc? The trial requires mine to be at least 750 to not reduce the peg.
Avatar f tn Thanks for the response. I was originally put on Levaquin after a foot surgery went bad. The incision was bleeding under the cast in recovery room but all they did was add more cast material. Same thing three days later in the doctors office. By the time the cast came off, the tissue maserrated. It took five months to heal up. Then he kept me on it for the next surgery. Then bronchitis/surgery in a vicious cycle for 4 years. Finally, my new doctor stopped it.
Avatar m tn 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).

Avatar f tn I have been reading some of the posts regarding false negative urine tests. I have had 2 test come back negative for hydrocodone. Today the nurse told me I could loose my job over this and if the lab work comes back negative they will release me. I do not understand why I am testing negative when I don't miss a dose, and take as prescribed. I have been taking 2-3 7.5 Norcos for over a year, due to a compound fracture of my leg, along with severe back pain.
Avatar f tn I was given levofloxacin and muprocin for what was told a skin infection in my nostril and left ear. I had seen a hard white ridge of skin in my nose and started feeling like i had the flu two weeks ago. He rushed me, didn't tell me what kind it was and hasn't called me. I took my fourth of seven pills last night and still have flu like symptoms.
