Common Questions and Answers about Zithromax antibiotic

zithromax

Avatar f tn My eight year old is allergic to amoxicillin, zithromax, clindamycin, and cefzil. We have seen an allergist, and he said there are no tests for antibiotics and that "we have a problem." Can someone please guide me in what to do next? My doctor was hoping the allergist would help guide us for future treatments. I am fearful for any infection like strep throat, ear or skin infections, we have run out of options.

Avatar n tn I think he/she should have probably went in the direction of a broad-spectrum antibiotic, i.e. Amoxicillin vs. Zithromax. I have seen Zithromax ordered for Strep Throat, but not that often.
Avatar f tn I was given zithromax pills to cure an infection, the pills were to big for me to swallow so I let them dissolve in a little water, then drunk them. Will they have the same effect even though I did not swallow them whole????
Avatar f tn Not an answer buts that 1gram dose of Zithromax taken at once by a 100 lb 35 year old female.
Avatar f tn I had ureaplasma from my partner, and it gave me the most annoying symptoms ever! So we got both treated with an antibiotic, I forgot the name) for 2 weeks, and my symptoms were gone. A month later, I was reinfected because of the menstrual cup. This time my doctor gave me zithromax, 4 tablets for one day. My partner insisted on having sex on the third day, and apparently he got infected and passed it on to me a week later. Should We take zithromax again?

Avatar f tn is it safe to take Zithromax? i have a double ear infection and a bad cold and the ER prescribed it for me.
Avatar m tn so, is this tinnitus or some other temporary ear sound? also, is this caused by antibiotics? i m right now taking penicillin-like antibiotic for 10 days... on my 7th day today....what should i do? what do u think?
Avatar f tn I was just going to say that I am pregnant and am allergic to more than one antibiotic and zithromax or azithromycin ( the generic) is what they give me instead. It is an erythromycin based antibiotic which is like they said before category B and as safe as you get in medicines. Nothing is rated A. I work in a pharmacy. Relax!
Avatar f tn I posted this in the other community as well but haven't received any opinions as of yet. Thanks in advance for any replies. I am wondering if anyone has experienced anything similar or if I could get some insight as to what might be going on here. I have been frequently prescribed antibiotics (no penicilin or sulfa as I have been allergic since a child) over the past two years for having several bouts of sinus infections, throat infections and bronchitis symptoms.
Avatar f tn I have a bicuspid aortic valve and find that every antibiotic I take gives me arrhythmias. Is there an antibiotic that doesn't cause arrhythmias?
1580703 tn?1651904887 There is a reason they are prescribed in a packet with only so many capsules. Undoubtedly you have probably developed an antibiotic resistant strain of organism, which is why zithromax was ineffective for a tonsil infection. Let's cut to the chase. Under certain circumstances bacterial infections become encapsulated in the lung, and when the immune system goes down, or is depressed due to use of steroids, these infections flare and cause difficulty breathing.
Avatar n tn You will end up (if the infection is bacterial) with an infection resistant to antibiotics. See a physician for a proper prescription and antibiotic. Many physician choose zithromax (the Z-pak) as the broad-spectrum antibiotic of choice for a lung infection.
Avatar m tn So after some research I figured out that the treatement for syphilis is 2g of zithromax... I initially found that very odd and feel that this may cause me to overdose!! Not to mention that I have gilbert's syndrome and my total blood bilirubin level are usually around 2.0... Overall, my question is, how harmful will 2g of zithromax at once be?? I hear that zithromax is heavy on the liver which is what makes me afraid of what 2g of it can do!!
Avatar f tn I tested positive for chlamydia 3 weeks ago and negative for everything else including HIV (test at 7 weeks). I was given Zithromax 1g, which i have previously had before for a single other STD infection a few years ago (also chlamydia). The symptoms of the chlamydia seemed to disappear completely after one week. However at the end of the 2nd week after treatment i began to get symptoms again.
Avatar f tn - earlier testing might show false positive for chlamydia as the recommended re-test period is 3 weeks after treatment, and false negative for the other two infections as they seem to have a longer incubation period (or could have been treated by zithromax but not completely) - i took the medication the wrong way, one 250mg then the remaining 750mg after five hours. Peak plasma binding for azithromicine seems to be two hours.
4315059 tn?1352675085 Years ago I was prescribed zithromax. I took the pills as I should but was not told to go on probiotics. Soon after I got a massive fungal rash on my back, and got bad dandruff. Later, I noticed that I had what seemed to be "ear dandruff", and my ear was sometimes itchy. After months of tryin I finally got rid of the rash on my back, but the dandruff has persisted for years. Now I have had a painful earache went to the hospital emergency room one evening.
Avatar m tn The usual chlam/gon antibiotics like ceftriaxone, Zithromax, doxycycline etc remain in the system for at least a couple days after the last dose. You would be protected against in this exposure. and no, you can't be treated too soon. Getting treatment even 5 minutes after exposure would prevent these STIs from catching hold.
Avatar n tn Yup. Zithromax is a good antibiotic. Second to amoxicillin only because its slightly more expensive. In about 3-5 days your symptoms should greatly improve. Make sure you finish all of the antibiotics still though. Chances are your dentist won't be able to do anything for you tomorrow, but will once you can open wider. Its still good to try to get in to see one so you can get an appt. for next week.
Avatar f tn In certain situations your physician may decide that antibiotic therapy is appropriate. When an antibiotic is deemed necessary, Zithromax (azithromycin) is commonly used. Azithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic that is effective against M pneumonia. But, if the sinusitis is caused by a fungus or virus azithromycin will not help. In some cases, sinusitis can last for several weeks before it resolves.
Avatar m tn I had an oral sex with prostitute before 3 weeks ago , after 2 days of oral sex i took zithromax 1 gram antibiotic because i was scare of any bacterial infect and then after 5 days I got flu so the doctor described me penicillin in that time i felt nothing will happen if i slept with my gf, so i had sex with her , but unfortuenately i started feeling itchy when i urinate and my gf start feel itchy and discharge appeared so we both took 400 mg cefixim plus 1 g zithromax .
