Zithromax and cipro
Common Questions and Answers about Zithromax and cipro
zithromax
My partner was given Cipro for UTI, Suprax and Zithromax he started the Cipro last Thursday and when positive results came back yesterday started the other two meds, his symptoms were gone before starting the Zithromax and Suprax, I had no symptoms. My question is what is the percent of reinfection if we have sex over the weekend. My doctor said normally Gonnorhea is non infectious after 24hrs of treatment and Clamydia is 1 or 2 days. Is that correct?
t been able to confirm. As a result, I went to a pharmacy and got a 10-pack of 500mg Cipro and a 3 pack of 500mg Zipro. I took 1000mg of Cipro and 1000mg of Zipro yesterday and another 500mg of each today. Have a I taken enough of these drugs to kill both bacterial infections, and if so, how long should it take to clear up an infection if I do indeed have one?
My bf had been taking Cipro for a UTI until results came back he was positive, he was put on Zithromax and Suprax Thursday and finished his Zithro yesterday, I have also been on Cipro this week, which I will still be on until Saturday. If we had sex Thursday, could he reinfect me, or do we both have enough antibiotics in our system to pretty much block any bacteria from passing back and forth. I'm also scheduled for test of cure tomorrow.
The doc suspected a penile fungal infection and told me to use Clotrimazole cream which I just started applying. There is a bit of urethral irritation so he suggested Cipro. Great, another antibiotic to torture my knees, as Zithromax did this to me already and still causes rather painful soreness while I try in vain to sleep.
He said I could do either, so I opted against Cipro for now. Cipro would be a 10 day course he said of 500mg pills twice a day.
Went to ER, prescribed Cipro 2x day (250mg each) for 10 days and 1g Zithromax. Symptoms resolved in 48 hours but now still on Cipro and 6 days after Zithromax and pain has returned to urethra as bad as before but now no real discomfort in prostate.
What's next? What do I possibly have?
Is what I have contagious?
Thanks for the information. They had asked me to do a clean catch urine sample and then bring it in Monday, but I used a 24 hour pharmacy that didn't have sterile cups. They advised to continue this anitbiotic and let it run its course and then follow up (this coming week). I just know that UTIs are uncommon in young men, but I am almost 100% monogamous as I mentioned above. I am just wondering if my infection is one that requires a z-pac rather than cipro.
After my period, I kept having the urge to pee even when I went and my uti strip said I had blood in my urine..so my doctor put me on cipro for five days. It seems I'm probably allergic to it and I don't want to take anything else. Would a zpak work for me? I've taken three Benadryls today just to rid of the horrible symptoms. I'm only 18 and pretty fed up with medicines.
My urine culture showed a small amount of blood in my urine. The doctor prescribed 2g of Zithromax to be taken once and 10 days of 500 mg of cipro taken twice per day.
My questions are:
1) What stds am I at risk for (I.e. herpes, syphillis, HIV)?
2) could I have gotten trich?
3) Will the 2g of Zithromax taken once and the 500mg of Cipro taken twice daily kill any bacterial infection I could have acquired?
My doctor felt that the discomfort was due to the gardenerella and not from the oral sex and prescrived Flagyl, which did not help. Susequently, he prescribed Bactrim DS, and then Cipro. The symptoms persisted. During his follow up exam he felt that there was nothing clinically wrong and that the symptoms would resolve on their own over time. Since he didn't want to do any testing, I insisted on taking Suprax & Zithromax to be sure there were no STDs.
They gave me a prescription of Cipro (one pill) and 4 zithromax pills. I called a week later and was told that I had NGU (negative for gon., positive for chlamydia). Now, I was a little shocked considering I've only ever had sex with one person in my entire life and have been with that person for 11 years. So I informed my partner of what happened and advised he get tested as well (haven't gotten results back yet).
I visited my family doctor, he put me on Cipro which did nothing. I visited the STD clinic again, got tested for everything again, and came out negative. They gave me 1gm of zithromax which cleared everything up after a few days- but the irritation came back after 2.5 weeks.
I went back to the clinic, the doctor thought that I might have a Ureaplasma infection and they put me on Doxy for 10 days, which didn't do any good.
#1 I went to the clinic and tested positive for NGU, and negative for Chlamydia and Gonorrhea. They gave me 1gram of Zithromax in a powder drink for treatment. My symptoms persisted so I went back and was tested again. They told me my white blood cell's showed up as "occasional" meaning that my treatment should of been fine and they could not help me if I still had the same symptoms.
#2 I went to my family doctor and explained the situation.
ve got pain in my groin (right and left) and it tends to follow the crease in my leg and I actually feel ti in my hip ocassionally. Right side worse than left.
Also feeling an occasional dull ache in the appendix area. I'm going to schedule an appt with a Urologist because my doc can't seem to figure this out.
I was treated last Tuesday with Rociphen and Zithromax, and a small round of Cipro, for Gonnorhea, Clamydia infection. The day after and still today I get short kind of spasm cramps in my reproductive organ region, sort of like menstrual cramps. They are sporadic maybe two a day, could this be from the meds? I also noticed right after treatment I get a small pinch in my urethra, randomly, the nurse said more fluids??
My concern is the continuous usage of doxy and the possible resistance of said pathogen to this drug. Is cipro 1mg x 3days along with 1mg zithromax once per week x 3 weeks usually sufficient to destroy this?
If 2terrified is reading this, please don't respond by reminding me that I should n't sleep with my ex-grilfriend again. Better yet, don't write anything!
I went to my doctor and he did a blood test and urinalysis and also scheduled an ultrasound as well as prescribed amoxicillin for 10 days for a throat infection. Nothing turned up. A few weeks later I went back in still having flow issues, he prescribed cipro for 7 days, which helped for a little while and cleared up flow issues. In the middle of September I was prescribed a z pak for a sinus infection but now I was having some pain in my testicles.
I would move this to the urology expert forum.
About three weeks ago i had unprotested sex with a woman, who I have no idea her sexual past. Aprrox. 2 weeks ago i got a chest and sinus cold. My doc put me on Zithromax, the next day I started to feel burning while peeing, so I started taking cipro with the zithro thinking I had a UTI. The burning did not go away, i went and saw my doc about this and he took swabs for chlamydia and gonorrhea.
MD diagnosed probable NGU and possibly prostatis. Urine culture and urine GC/CT sent off. Treated with zithromax 1 g and cipro 500 mg BID for 3 weeks to cover possible prostate.
Concerned about a possible encounter the first week of August (>7 weeks ago). I was drinking, memories are foggy from the night. Was in a quiet bar late night; a woman asked me to go into bathroom with her to have sex. I declined but things somewhat blurry after. Remember leaving alone and the ride home.
I DEVELOPED PNEUMONIA IN MARCH, ABOUT THE TIME THAT I SWITCHED FROM NATURE -THROID TO ARMOUR. CEPHALEXIN DIDN'T WORK, CIPRO WAS NEXT FOR THE USUAL COURSE. DIDN'T WORK SO ZITHROMAX WAS THE LAST AND WAS MORE EFFECTIVE.
ABOUT THE SAME TIME MY ARRYTHMIAS( PVCS AND PACS) BECAME MORE PROMINENT AND AT TIMES MY HEART RATE WAS AS LOW AS 33.
( WITH LIGHTHEADEDNESS AND EXHAUSTION, MUCH LOUDER HEART SOUND EFFECTS ETC.
I caught an std over a year ago, with swollen lymph nodes and and a urethral discharge being the first symptoms. I was treated with cipro, with no results and then went to the ER and was given a shot of rocephin, a 1000 mg of Zithromax and prescribed doxycycline. The discharge went away, and the lymph swelling in my left armpit, left elbow and behind my left knee went down by about 1/3, but stayed swollen and irritated for over a year.
