Common Questions and Answers about Moxifloxacin and prostatitis
avelox
Be that as it may, with repeated treatments with both doxycycline and azithromycin, you may wish to talk to your doctor about a course of moxifloxacin. Your situation is a difficult one and moxifloxacin has proven to be effective against chlamydia, mycoplasma genitalium and gets into the prostate well.
Hope this helps.
I told this doctor because I build a relationship with him over the past couple of years and I saw the article and shared the rest with him. Anyway after 2 weeks on Moxifloxacin and I found how I felt when I ejaculated as I did prior to ever contracting MG. Also, I tested negative for MG but here's the punch, my girlfriend tested positive after specifically asking for it. Yet me positive. Anyway, long story short everything is fine now. Good as new.
When I came it felt so ******* great I thought my prostatitis went away no it got vicious more than ever to i once again sought medical treatment found out my CBP all these years was mg and now everything is cleared up I am still on the moxifloxacin and rifampin as a precaution since I had it for 16 years and the fact I had a really high bacterial load.
But you can get a lot of STDs from oral sex. There is more bacteria than Chlamydia and Gonnorhea those are just only of the two that are easily identifiable. If you think you have an STD you probably do. Especially if discharge or discomfort is present and tests say negative. I had something called Mycoplasma Genitalium for 16 years and it caused me years of discomfort and what I thought was "reoccurring chronic prostatitis" prostatitis was alright..
Wait for results if they say nothing is wrong tell them your partner had antibiotic resistant mycoplasma genitalium and you require rifampin and moxifloxacin because if you take one and not the other you will become resistant and require Intraveneous Synercid. Don't let a dumb doctor swap one antibiotic for another not knowing what to treat and don't let a doctor convince you otherwise. Unless the doc immediately knows of mg. You stand no hope of getting help.
If you meant to say that you took Moxifloxacin, and you still have symptoms, it just means that you have multi drug resistance MG. Yes, there are STD’s in this country that are not known about AND MG is the culprit behind many undiagnosable urethritis/prostatitis issues.
This is way more common than the doctors even know about. I’m not saying this to scare you, I’m saying this. because it’s the truth.
Pulled out right away and we stopped. 3 days later, i experienced mild urethra irritation(like a chaffing feeling right inside the tip) i got tested 1 week later for EVERYTHING. All turned up neg. I then got retested at 14 days. Again all neg. In the meantime, i took azrithromyocin 1gm, next day, flagyl, then a 2 week dose of doxycycline and one cipro pill. My doc wanted to cover all my bases in case it was an NGU. I still have the mild irritation and rarely have mild relief at times.
if the problem persists or recurs, give the alternate drug plus metronidazole (Flagyl) or tinidazole (Tindamax) to cover trichomonas; and for still more recurrences, moxifloxacin, apparently the best drug for M. genitalium. If your treatments have been different than this, discuss it with your doctor.
Some cases at this stage may be due to prostatitis. Infection due to unusual bacteria may need to be checked out.
There seems to be only 1 antibiotic that works once it becomes prostatitis and that is Avelox also known as Moxifloxacin. Now if you happen to have them, even more, rarer form than you require Pristinamycin and it is not available in the united states but it is able to be received via the right channels from India if you know where to look.
I have gone to the clinic 2 times. They are not too helpful. They typically have a few "standard" tests and nothing more. Also typically nurse practitioners but no Doctors. Here in the US, it isn't nearly as advanced as I've read about the UK and Europe. I've told the clinic my situation and they just want to re-prescribe doxycycline and see what happens. I've already taken it 14 days with no improvement. What are common stds missed??
If it turns out you do have M. genitalium and you are resistant you an take 10 days of moxifloxacin 400mg daily. Also, if you are negative you could have non specific urethritis which can be caused by M.Genitalium, but also Ureaplasma urealyticum, Mycoplasma hominis, HSV, Adenovirus or Trichomonas. So other drugs you can take for them are not Azitro alone but you should take Aithro with Tinidazole or Tinidazole with doxycycline.
Clinicians are testing out of protocol out of sheer ignorance and then sending off people with no answers, or worse yet, putting people on 30-60 days of cirpofloxacin and levofloxacin which has no effective cure against MG and only makes Moxifloxacin useless because MG gains resistance from cipro/Levo.
Moxifloxacin is still a hope for 70% of the cases. For many due to prior treatment of a flouroquinolone its useless.
You options are test full ejaculate and FVU together.
doxycycline, azithromycin and moxifloxacin. The first two failed to clear my infection and now I have two days that I finished the moxifloxacin 400 mg( 10 days treatment) clearing my symptoms. My question is, Is it possible for the bacteria to reoccur after the moxifloxacin treatment? And if yes what other option are there?
WOW! You guys are fighting some tough battles, and y'all aren't going to give up. I had prostatitis a few months ago, though I'm not certain it's cleared up. In fact, I think I may want to start some treatment for E.Coli. Sex is a beautiful thing, and it can also be an opening for a life of suffering. Human beings are so nasty. Stay faithful guys, and use protection, always!
Some cases may be inflammation without infection. Also, there is overlap between NGU and prostatitis -- and this may still be primarily a prostate problem, entirely unrelated to STD.
Your doctors are following the standard approach, i.e. re-treat with doxycycline, especially some time has passed since your previous episode (e.g. several weeks or more).
Dr,
I am wondering at what stage NSU is no longer a risk. I ask because I have recurring NSU for a number of yrs. My GUM clinic has reassured me there is no reason to be concerned at this stage. I attended them numerous occasions. Some times there has >5 WBCs, on other occasions there was no NSU (i.e. <5 WBCs). No Gon or Chl found in any tests. In summary:
1st visit: NSU - Took 1g zithromax - wasn't called back.
A recent study was done to show that Myco was only erradicated by 85% of those on the Azithro regiment described, however Avelox ( Moxifloxacin) killed Myco in all cases. Routine is to try described Azithro regimen first and if symtoms still exist Moxifloxacin. Why? I guess so that Myco doesn't become Moxifloxacin resistant. Save the bugs, kill the patient kind of thing. I say take the 400mg a day X 10 day regiment of Moxifloxacin and help yourself.
If you have a persistent mycoplasma genitalium infection that has failed azithromycin and Moxifloxacin, urge your doctor to try Lefamulin (Xenleta). This is a new and very promising antibiotic and could be the hope those need for untreatable mycoplasma infections.
Lefamulin is now available through Walgreens Specialty Pharmacy. Please look into this and demand that you try it.
Cure rates with moxifloxacin are 100% According to some info
I’ve found, and is used after Doxy and az. So id press to get moxifloxacin. moxifloxacin 400 mg daily for 7 to 14 days is the preferred antibiotic regimen.
I had a DNA testing on sperm and urine Candida came back positive but antifungals didn’t do anything
Now I am on a cocktail of Moxifloxacin and doxycycline feeling terrible and SO exhausted on 3rd week of it doing nothing. It’s to treat potential mycoplasma genitalium.
I’ve been praying to not wake up everyday and I’m totally desperate .
(first catch) reported value leukocytes=small. Treated with azith 1g and 500mg cipro. Ultra sound showed 48 cc resid vol and enlarged prostate-cubic volume-27cm. I was also given cipro 500mg bid/14 days. My SO other was was also treated with 1g azith, 500mg cipro, and 400mg suprax. 1 week later, pressure and frequency improved, clear dicharge upon waking, not later in the day however unless milking to find. Went back to clinic and got 10 days of doxy. I am on 3rd day of doxy as is my SO.
But the doctor mentioned that my white blood cell count is slightly higher than normal ( WBC count taken from the swabs, not from my blood work) and mentioned that there might be an infection so she prescribed Avelox (Moxifloxacin), 4 x 400mg once daily.
The background is, I am Chinese male, been with my girlfriend for about a year and both of us have been loyal and we were both asymptomatic before this event.
Burning in urethra, clear discharge from penis, lower back and abdomen pain intermittently, my scrotum feels really warm and sweaty, my rectum every now and again will feel wet and a sweaty even when I'm standing around not doing anything, sometimes my scrotum feels like its being lightly pinched. These symptoms aren't always present at the same time. Nor do I always have these symptoms.
