Zithromax for treatment of chlamydia

Common Questions and Answers about Zithromax for treatment of chlamydia

zithromax

Avatar f tn It works by fighting bacteria within the body, so yes it should cure chlamydia. The usual treatment for chlamydia is a single dose of four pills when diagnosed, but the Zithro will do the same :D Mr.
Avatar m tn Based on your symptoms, it seems clear you had urethritis. Most cases are due to nongonococcal urethritis (NGU). About one third of those are due to chlamydia, and several other bacteria cause the rest, but often no particular cause can be found. Gonorrhea is another common cause of urethriitis. It is a shame you were treated before being tested for gonorrhea and chlamydia.
Avatar f tn t been properly treated for most of the causes of either of them hence my recommendations.
Avatar m tn I have been taking Zithromax 1 capsule a day for 3 days. Is this enought to clean the Chlamydia and gonorrhea ? I had it years ago and remember had to be on antibiotics for a week!
Avatar f tn Hi I am currently three days on Zithromax (treating chlamydia) and I have a light sometimes darker Orange discharge with strings of blood in them when I wipe. The consistency is stretchy and I’m pretty worried. Me and my partner (also taken Zithromax one day oral medicine) haven’t had sex since our treatment (same day), as told to wait seven days. Could it be the antibiotics fighting the infection?
Avatar n tn Okay, So i tested positive for Chlamydia infection & BV, took the 4 pills of Zithromax, and got my medication (for bv). It must have been too much for my stomache because i vomited it all up later on that day. I still feel the symptoms for chlamydia, (i.e. i feel the same from before i was treated) and now i am seeing that i have blood in my urine. Whats going on? Do i have to take the Zithromax all over again or should i be worried its something else?
Avatar f tn Hi sc1989, You have taken 2 types of antibiotics (Zithromax and Doxycycline). Therefore, your chlamydia have been fully treated. The second test which there are high white blood cells do suggest of infection. However, they cannot prove of chlamydia infection. Anyway, you have been treated. No worries.
Avatar m tn I went back to the doctor and got treated again for chlamydia and took another test. The results came back negative for chlamydia and gonorrhea, but even a week after these results discharge from my penis still persist. I had also gotten treated with Metrondizale for trich but symptoms still persisted after that. It is now almost April and am still having discharge in the morning and after urinating with a mild sting and itch after urinating.

Avatar m tn After being informed of exposure to chlamydia, I was STD tested and treated with one-time dose Zithromax 1000mg oral. Results came in 4 days later, I was positive for gonorrhea too. I Was prescribed one time dose Levoquin 1000mg oral. Ive been doing my research and I'm seeing that oral Levoquin is no longer the recommended treatment for Gon. --Do you think the antibiotics I was prescribed are sufficient? --When can I be retested to see if the C and G are gone?
Avatar m tn The health dept said they usually test just for syphilis, HIV, gonorrhea, and chlamydia. I have had a temp of 99 for a while and slight burning when I pee (although when I drink water I don't. Mostly it's probably dehydration) and no UTI. This doc seemed to be incompetent (in my opinion) and said the zithromax would do nothing for the bacterial infections (which I simply stated to show how he seemed unfamiliar with STD treatments).
Avatar f tn I got tested and was given 1 gram of zithromax and 7 days of levaquin. That was on monday night i was treated and then that saturday morning I had unprotected sex with an uninfected partner. Is it possible I could have infected the partner? They told me the zithromax would wipe it out right away but it seems from reading these forums that that could not be the case. I have been active since iwth the same person and now I feel I might have been infected agian.
Avatar m tn A one gram dose is effective for treating Chlamydia, but there is a large percentage of gonorrhea strains that are resistent to the macrolides. It is always best to not self medicate. Please see your Health care provider. Even I see my own Doctor on a regular basis.
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.
1394684 tn?1280252985 After treatment my doctor called me saying that my test results for chlamydia came back positive.She gave me zithromax(azithromycin) to take,two red pills I took in one single dose,After I lefted the office I experienced the worst diarrhea of my life hours later.Is zithroma 100% effective?Is my chlamydia gone?
Avatar m tn I tested positive for Mycoplasma Genitalium. The test was negative for Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Trich, Ureaplasma. 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.
Avatar n tn I presume your urine or a swab from your penis was the specimen tested for chlamydia. If your urine or swab test was positive for chlamydia it would be quite unusual for the same specimen to have not been tested for gonorrhea at the same time. Thus one of the first things I would suggest is for you to call your doctor’s office and see if perhaps you were tested for gonorrhea. If so and the test was negative, you have nothing further to worry about.
Avatar n tn The effectiveness of both azithromycin as a single dose and doxycycline take for 7 or more days exceeds 97%. For those rare treatment failures, re-treatment with either the same medication or the alternative is almost always effective. My advice, given your abstinence since diagnosis and repeated treatment of your BF, I would be quite surprised if he (or you) were still infected and would look for an alternate explanation.
Avatar n tn gave me 10 day 2 dosage of doxycycline just in case. Swab test for chlamydia was positive and I finished remainder of antiobiotics. Since then I have still felt a mild discomfort (especially after prolonged sitting). I went back in Mid Oct to get HIV test & swab test again. Negative result for chlamydia,HIV, and the dr. even examined my clear fluid under microscope for trich. Dr. gave me 1 dosage of antiobiotic (methadizole however you spell it) just in case for trich infection.
Avatar n tn ll deal with the who gave what to whom later (no sex until I get better and I want a full STD screen for both of us afterwards anyway). Is it common for Chlamydia to not be treated/cured with that first round of antibiotics? Or do I have a secondary infection (ie, the epiditymitis is something else, but not caused by the chlamydia)?
Avatar n tn Hello, Zithromax contains azithromycin and is mostly used for STD’s like non gonococcal urethritis and cervicitis due to Chlamydia trachomatis. It is usually not the drug of choice for UTI but is mostly used in otitis media (infection of the middle ear), tonsillitis, laryngitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, and sinusitis. I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
Avatar m tn 3 months ago I noticed a small transparent discharge from the penis so I did a STI check-up and the doctor gave me a zithromax treatment for chlamydia, all other tests were negative. The discharge slowly disappeared. I did a lot of reading about it and found out it can cause anal fissure. I had a lot of the symptoms so went to see another doctor and he gave me Kenacomb and Fucidin which doesn't seem to do anything.
