Avatar n tn Well, doctors put me on Ofloxacin (100mg three times a day) for two weeks and my symptoms came back just after finishing the treatment. After that i am on Cefixime (400mg twice a day) for 3 weeks and symptoms just go on and off. What could be the possible reason. In my background, i was having 3mm stone in my bladder which passed away with pain, and now somw tiny concretions have been seen in the collecting system. Doctor said that this is due to these stones.
Avatar f tn then by evening the pain started shifting from right to left testicle ,and when one is hurting the other one remains almost normal,which i found bizarre.then i went again to dr and he said nothing serious just an infction ,and then i took cefixime for 7 days with evion and anti inflammatory,then after 4 days got some better,then got 3 days of sparfloxacin one time a day,then took cipro for 18 days with caflam.
Avatar f tn before and after my periods i get this white/clear discharge but i went to the doctor and i had an std but the medcine that the doctor gave me did not work i took it right im still having the same discharge is it a yeast infection an not another std
Avatar m tn After having unprotected sex the head of my penis got itchy in the inside of the hole and had a very little amount of discharge. I searched the net to find the answer and the closest to my symptom is urethritis. Upon reading through the forums related to STDs, found out that some folks were prescribed with ofloxacin. Without consulting a doctor, I am self medicating now after googling what's ofloxacin is for. 3 days ago I took 2 400mg and subsequently 200mg every 12 hours.
Avatar n tn I'm a 40 year-old American living in Thailand. A few months ago I had unprotected sex with a female coworker. About 10-12 days later I noticed a burning sensation in the tip of my penis (it felt similar to when soap gets in the urethra). The burning intensified over the next few days. It does not hurt when I urinate and no need to urinate more than normal. There is no discharge - just a slight whitish mucous visible only if I squeeze the tip. Co-worker has no symptoms.
Avatar n tn Before I do however, I would like to counsel you that your decision to take cefixime and azithromycin and then ask questions is backwards. These antibiotics would be effective against nearly all bacterial STIs including gonorrhea, chlamydia, NGU, and for syphilis prevention however they will also just confuse further assessment. Your exposure was low risk at most. I will answer your questions in order. 1. It is not clear from your post whether you gave or received oral sex.
Avatar m tn His treatment recommendations also were appropriate. Arguably it was overkill to use both cefixime (Suprax) and ciprofloxacin to cover gonorrhea, but it wouldn't do any harm. My guess is that "avon" is azithromycin (trade name Zithromax); and indeed doxycycline for 7 days or azithromycin 1.0 g (single dose) are the two treatments of choice for NGU. (It is clear your doctor friend is very knowledgeable about STDs.
Avatar f tn For ofloxacin to adequately treat chlamydia, and maybe NGU, 7 days is needed.
Avatar n tn On 3/21/07 she had stomach flu,5/24/07 she woke up with a bloody looking eye it's ALWAYS on the same eye (right)on the inner part of the sclera & it never spreads to the other eye,she always says it hurts & it swells up a little. Her pediatrician thought it was conjuvitis & rx Ofloxacin .3% it cleared up in 3 days.
Avatar n tn is it possible that the rash is the result of taking the Ofloxacin, and more specifically, perhaps the result of a build up of bacteria (yeast)? If so, will taking the Doxycycline clear up the rash, or will it just increase the amount of yeast bacteria build up, and thus worsen a rash that could be the result of excess candida in the body?
Avatar f tn At the tim, my gf start to get cough, headache and also pain inside the ear. Doctor prescribed cefixime and lanzoprazole. Both of us were diagnosed reflux (GER). We always tell our story everytime we see the doctor. On august 21, me and my gf have sex with protection,this time with extra precaution (wash hand, separate towel, not touching genitals, eyes, nose and mouth, wipe the condom with antiseptic wipes after sex, carefully pull the condom so not exposed to genital fluid etc).
Avatar f tn During mid December 2012 I noticed discharge from my penis. I visited a pharmacy on December 18 and was prescribed 200 mg of Tarivid Ofloxacin pills to be taken twice a day for ten days. I was told that this would take care of the infection, be it chlamydia, gonorrhea or both. Two weeks after I commenced treatment the symptoms had not disappeared so I visited a local clinic on January 2, 2013.
Avatar m tn The doctor put me on 400 mg of cefixime and 1000 mg of azithromycin, and while it felt a bit better, it still wasn't right. A week later I went in again and this time, he put me on doxycycline and 400 mg of cefixime/day for two weeks. Since then, no discharge but it's consistently hurt. Since then, I've tried 2000 mg of azithromycin, taken cefixime numerous times, and been put on 500 mg of ciprofloxacin and tamsulosin for 2 weeks.
Avatar m tn Hello, i am 25 years old, 95 kg weight, almost 25 days ago i started to feel pain in throat, i took Over The counter Erythromycin, which i only took 5 tablets until my symptoms got worse, i quit smoking and started azythromycin it was 3 days course but my symptoms got worse, thats when i consulted a ENT specialist who recommended Cefixime, i took that, but now the symptoms had grown below pharynx and larynx was also inflamed, it really hurt when i talk to i took some voice rest and steam inhala
Avatar m tn However, stupidly I engaged in some oral sex amd symptoms reappeared. I went and got tested amd was prescribed cefixime powder and zithro. Took it, and so did my partner. Was fine for a few weeks after that, but now some discomfort has come back. VERY little discharge, if any at all. Most prominent symptom is a pain in my pelvic/genital area, some sporatic stabbing/electric shock pings in my penis and frequent urination.
Avatar m tn I contracted NGU through oral sex and was prescribed 10 days of Ofloxacin. I had urine test at 21 after the last pill which came out negative. My question is if it was too early to test? I still have clear discharge 1-2 times per week in the morning.
Avatar m tn Hi grace , no still having issues , have had multiple tests and screenings both at the gu department and doctors , doctor has now prescribed me 1g Azithromycin 400mg cefixime and also a 7 day course of doxcy in a bid to try and kill any bacteria that is still causing me pain and discharge , 8 months now with this problem is starting to wear me down !
Avatar m tn What measures should i take now while waiting for the next step to ensure my wife and kids could not be infected if ever there was infection, and what test and how long do i have to wait to make sure it accurate. Thanks in advance.
Avatar m tn 0 grams (4 500 mg pills) taken at one time is just as effective as penicillin for syphilis treatment however, there are some cases of treatment failures with azithromycin for syphilis treatment and many of the treatment failures have come from San Francisco where you apparently live. Thus this is a matter of concern. While many people will be cured by therapy of early syphilis with azithromycin, the dose you have received is not the recommended dose.
Avatar n tn I checkeed with thedoctor with test report of urinalysis and blood CBC. In Urine,they found WBC of 33 and no bacteria..Gave me ofloxacin for 1more week. I checked with a dermatologist and they said there was no rash or red spots in the penis After a couple of days,i had itching on anus and a bit of burning sensation...can i get this in anus entrance too?? pls reply...also suggest the best test to determine for hepes...and how long should i wait..
Avatar n tn Had you been exposed, the azithromycin and cefixime would have prevented infection. You had negative gonorrhea and chlamydia tests. STDs don't cause abdominal pain that "comes and goes" and do not cause breast pain. Your wife's symptoms have nothing to do with the sexual exposure you are obsessed about. You haven't given her any infection. Do your best to stop worrying about it.
Avatar m tn I am blind in my right eye and although I suffer from a slipped cataract lens in my left eye which causes some problems with light catching the top of the lens, the vision in that eye nevertheless is 20/20. Recently I was prescribed an ear drop ofloxacin which I understand is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic which can cause double vision. After using the drug for 10 days I have developed double vision in my good eye which is very worrying.
Avatar f tn Hi, can anyone advise if the treatment for oral gonorrhoea is the same as vaginal? Also as I'm allergic to penicillin is 400mg of Suprax® / Cefixime and 1000mg Azithromycin ok to treat it. I'm in the uk, what are the chances of a resistant strain?
Avatar m tn Chlamydia is rare after oral sex, so NGU is more likely. The cephalosporin antibiotics (ceftriaxone, cefixime, and others) and ciprofloxacin have no activity against chlamydia and NGU, but azithromycin is one of the drugs of choice -- so this is a plausible explanation. (Usually chlamydia testing is done automatically along with gonorrhea. Were you tested for it?
Avatar m tn Hi forum, Early this year over new year I was submitted to hospital for emergency treatment on a corneal ulcer and was kept in hospital for three days and given intensive treatment of ofloxacin eye drops every hour, then released from hospital and continued to be on ofloxacin eye drops every 2 hours and steroid drops every 2 hours with frequent visits to the hospitals eye clinic to monitor my progress.
