Zithromax for infection

Common Questions and Answers about Zithromax for infection

zithromax

Avatar f tn s a godsend of a medication lol. I had a double ear infection, double sinus infection, and stage 1 phumonia(sp), and Zithromax had me cleared up and feeling better withen the same night of taking it. I was also worried to take it at first, so I called almost every pharmacy in town and asked about it, and I got the same answer, which is it's safe, and I even called my doc and double checked with him lmao. Zithromax does cross into the placenta, but not as much as other antibiotics.
Avatar n tn t yet developed the infection, as would be indicated by the presence of a lesion or a positive blood test, than it takes for curative treatment. The augmentin taken twice daily for two weeks would certainly cure and prevent development of syphilis. The combination of cefixime and azithromycin would most probably prevent infection but it would not be curative if the infection was established.
Avatar m tn , I have had unprotected sex with a girlfriend and after three weeks i experienced a cloudy discharge from my penis and also a tingling sensation which I suspect as a chlamydial infection or NGU. I took 1g of zithromax and also took 5days of doxycycline 100mg. bid. After the medication my symptoms disappeared. After a few days however my testicles ached after i drank a large amount of liqour. I took another zithromax dosage and this time 1g on the first day and 500mg for another two days.
Avatar m tn my wide took amoxcillin 1000 g 2 x times a day for a throat infection. She did this for 8 days. And i took 1g zithromax the same time and we didn't had sex for a week. Oktober: my wife was treated with azithromycine sandoz 1g and 500 mg the next day because she had her wisdom teeth removed. i took doxycycline 100 mg a day for 5 days and also 1,5 g zithromax on day 6. My wufe and i had sex after 7 days that i took the doxy and she the azithromycine. Questions.
Avatar f tn This could be a result of the chlamydia, but it may be worth a call to your doctor. How are you taking the zithromax? You should have taken 1000 mgs at one time for it to be effective. It doesn't sound like that's what you're doing? https://www.cdc.gov/std/tg2015/chlamydia.htm - if you need to, show this to your doctor.
Avatar n tn It's possible, i'll do a follow up for sure, just wanted to know how long it could take Zithromax to completely cure clhamydia, thanks!
Avatar m tn I have been given 2 x 500 mg capsules for my chlamydia infection but as i don't like taking tablets I'v opened the capsules and poured the contents into a cup of tea with 1 Teaspoon full of sugar. To make sure i have consumed the full dose i made another cup of tea in the same cup and consumed it again. Two weeks later my older brother has told me the heat would of rendered the anti-biotic useless and that i still would have chlamydia.
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 m tn based on fact it recurred twice having taken 1g Zithromax but on 3rd attempt of 1g Zithromax it went away for 4years? I.e If it was MG in first instance it appeared to be resistant to first two doses of 1g Zithromax so it would't have gone away on the third dose. 4) Could it be herpes? I have no symptoms. Should I get a type specific HSV test? Would it give a definitive answer for herpes? 5) My regular partner was checked before for Chlym & Gono. Nothing found.
Avatar f tn zithromax is amoxicillin
Avatar m tn Thankyou for your answers.... her infection most likely will not be gono but perhaps another type of STI ?? What could cause the symptoms in her but remain invisible in me ?
Avatar n tn t get rid of the infection, so maybe a broad spectrum antibiotic will work for me. I sure hope so. thank you again for your advice.
Avatar f tn m worried, I shamefully cheated on my wife one time only on the 5th of June, 5 days later I strted to need to pee all the time, I visited my doctor on the 15th June and he tested me for Clymadia and Gonnorhea and gave me 1 gram of Zithromax to take straight away. The results came back negative. 2 weeks later the need to urinate came back again, and 4 times since then I've had a tiny amount of clear discharge in the morning.
Avatar m tn I received zithromax (azithromycin) for 5 days. (500 mg the first day and 250 mg day 2-5). The symptoms have improved, for example I no longer have the morning discharge that I had before and the stains in my underwear have almost disappeared. It is now 5 days since I took the last dose of zithromax. I still have some mucus strings and mucus debris in my urine. I did not have this before the STD so I know it is not normal for me.
1580703 tn?1651904887 You should not be taking zithromax for six weeks. Antibiotics are toxic, and should not be used unless there is an actual infection. Prescribing zithromax for six weeks, withiout evidence of an actualo bacterial infection, on the remote chance it might cure asthma represents questionable reasoning. There was a recent death from excessive use of zithromax. There is a reason they are prescribed in a packet with only so many capsules.
Avatar n tn I visited a STD clinic was treated with 1gm of Zithromax,was tested for CHlamidia, Gonorrea, syph, HIV- all negative. The irritation cleared up in 3 days. 3 weeks later the irritation started again. 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.
Avatar n tn s mouth to another person. If you had penile chlamydia the infection may have been present for some time as an asymptomatic infection or it may have been transmitted to you. either way, the 1.0 gram dose of azithromycin should be curative. There is no recommended need for follow-up chlamydial testing. If you were not tested for gonorrhea, testing is a good idea. Given your exposures however, I would emphasize the need to have your throat tested at the time of testing.
Avatar f tn Last weekend he was coughing violently and was put on zithromax thinking it was a sinus infection. However, how his cough, while subsided, sounds horrible. I heard a commercial for pertussis and that's how his cough sounds! Would whooping cough make him not want to eat? He takes two bites of something and that's it. No fever, very active, some diarrhea, and this 'cough'. Also, would the zithromax take care of it if it was whooping cough?
Avatar m tn I was taking zithromax 500mg per day for 14 days to treat mycoplasma infection. On 11th day, I have noticed that my urine output has decreased considerably and the flow is also slow. No matter how much I drink, the output is always low. Till the 10th day my urine flow was quite strong and high output. I'm also feeling abit lightheaded. I'm on my 13th day today and took zithromax today morning. PLEASE HELP!
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar m tn i went to my doctor and told me that i may have chlamydia, so she gave me 1000mg of zithromax. I told her that i had gotten tested negative for all stds 2 weeks before. Im on my 3rd day of the treatment. I went to the urologist, and he told me that possible my testicles get a slight torsion but they unwrap each other. My questions are: 1) wouldnt the previous tests would have determined if i had any std's??
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 m tn Thanks Dr for the reply. As of now my dysuria is continuing but diminishing, though my partner is also complaining of dysuria now. I had an STD test last Friday (three days after taking the zithromax) for chlam/gonn/syph/hiv and those have all come back negative. i'll keep you updated. would the zithromax produce a potential false negative in the naat urine test at 3 days later? thanks!
Avatar m tn They gave you Zithromax for NGU?! I took 1.5g of Zithromax about two weeks after catching my NGU/NSU and I still have urethritis... Even after 12 days of Doxycycline it still hurts. The 'D-Mannose' supplement I started a day and a half ago seems to be helping, but everytime I think it's getting better, it comes right back. It's a b'as't'ard. Maybe if I think it will get horribler and I will die soon, THEN it will magically go away.
Avatar n tn hi my name is sam,ive been in asia for for a year and had sex with 3 girls with no condoms.8 months ago i had yellow puss and a white like spot on the tip of my penis.i went to the doctor in Indonesia and he gave me and my girlfriend, three injections and a weeks worth of antibiotics.one week after it was gone.8 months down the line i have the yellow puss back and the white spot which really hurts to wash or even walking if my penis touches my shorts or jeans.
Avatar f tn hiv) in April I took 2 zithromax pills and told to that that it would take a week for the Chlamydia to clear out of my system. Well the zithromax gave me a severe yeast infection and I was still having slight discharge, so went back to the gyno 2 weeks after taking the zithromax.
