Zithromax time to take effect

Common Questions and Answers about Zithromax time to take effect

zithromax

I was diagnosed with chlamydia in sept and me and my partner were both treated with a one time dose of zithromax. When I went back for a follow up I tested positive again. I wanted to know is it possible the zithromax was not effective? I am allergic to baixin and my nurse was aware and told me I probably shouldn't take zithromaz but to go ahead and take it and if I had any problems just go to the hospital.

2 x 250mg day 1 1 x 250mg day 2,3,4,5 Since I took the dosage in a spread out period for my throat issue, would it be as effective clearing up the Chlamydia even though I didn't take the common does of 1gram the first day? I just would like to know if I need to take Zithromax again because of how I took the dosage for the throat issue. I hope I killed 2 birds with one stone.

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?

I'm not really worried about myself too much, more-so my regular partner. After taking the Zithromax (or Azithromycin), I did test negative 2 times afterwards. She never went back to get that negative test. That's why my basic concern is 'did the initial 1g (4X250mg) dosage' actually work. From all I could find, it was effective for 95% of people....I'm hoping she isn't in that 5%.

Any help would be appreciated!!! Has anyone else had the same symptoms when taking a low dose of Zithromax? Am scared of large dosages of medications!!!!! Terrified is more the word!!!!! But, I am equally terrified that my docs are letting something very serious go unnoticed. I have had joint pain, heart problems and felt very ill over the past year.

Its also not unusual that symptoms haven't cleared. It takes time for the meds to work. This can take a few days to a week. I'd call the doctor and ask what he thinks. Yes, but you could just have irritation from NGU. Its possible that you got the same bacteria in your throat as in your urethra, if you received oral sex. It can just take time to heal, but call your doctor and see what he wants you to do about the meds.

Can I take four 250mg Zithromax at one time as a single dose instead of the single dose 1g?

I wasn't told if zithromax interfered with orthoticyclen lo. I take the pill always, every day, same time. Can anyone please help and tell me if zithromax interferes with the pill? I know even the chances of getting pregnant from what I explained are small, but still, I worry. Thank you.

I am concerned that I might have contracted chlamydia and wondered whether this course of Zythromax would take care of it. Also, I messed up my first dosage. I only took one capsule (250 mg) before I realized that I should have taken two at once. I took the second capsule as soon as I realized what I'd done (about 2 hours later), but am concerned that the treatment will be less effective. Thanks so much!!

Well you never want to assume, but if you two have never had unprotected sex your chances of having chlamydia would be 1% each time you had intercourse.... very slim chances When one is infected and takes the meds they need to take the entire dose at one time not sparingly day by day, Yes being on zithro before testing would/could effect your results...

I would definately say that if it is chlamydia you are treating, 1 gram is enough and certainly taking it over two days would be fine.

(NO sex, regular masturbation) March... Pain after ejaculation... for awhile.... Again treated with 1 gm Zithromax against my protest and light request for the Doxy..whatever substitute. (One concern I have is a uncommonly fast metabolism and a shortened half life of the Zithromax. I do not know if zithro is stored in fat or not ut I have none and I hit the gym and take hemp protein as a supplement.

If it is sexually transmitted, Isn't prostatitis and gnu caused by chlamydia itself? By taking the Zithromax 1gm wouldn't that in itself rule out prostatitis and gnu due to chlamydia being treated?

I'm not really sure anymore about taking zithromax as an asthma cure- my doctor said in rare cases it can cure asthma.

You said yourself that you were terrified of the Zithromax prior to ever taking it. I think that, between the illness and your anxiety over the fact that you might have palpitations you've worked up your adrenaline level to where you ARE having them. Now, when you say "scary palpitations" what do you mean? Describe them. Are they running fast like SVT or are they PVC's that are tumbling over one another?

I am VERY VERY drug sensitive at this point (tylenol raises my heart rate 30% after one dose), but I also want to make sure I am taking the most effective drug to knock out the infection. What would you recommend? I am leaning toward the Z pack because I have taken it before without side effects, but if it is less effective...

Will 5 days of taking 500 mg of Zithromax be as effective as the one dos regimen of 1gram

I have come to the conclusion that when I take Zithromax (Azithromycine), I feel much better, within a day. The redness disappears, the urgency dissipates and most of all the pain recedes, almost like a pain killer. I performed an experiment last year where I took a reasonable course of Zithromax and performed a self prostate massage all though the course, I experienced a complete hiatus from the pain for three months.

office that the medicine they prescribed is Zithromax Z-pack. Does anyone know if I can ttc while on this med??? My target date to ttc is the 6th-12th and I am supposed to start this antibiotic today. Will there be any harm if this is in my system and I conceive this month? I don't want to intentionally cause harm if I take this and get pregnant while it's in my system. We've been trying to conceive now since my m/c in Nov.

(1) how long does it take for zithromax to be effective (i.e., when can i have sex)? i took a single 1000mg dose. I still have symptoms 24 hrs after taking it. (2) how effective is zithromax? (3) how likely is it that i passed it on to my partner in one unprotected encounter (sexual intercourse, not brief)? our relationship is new and fragile, and an std could end it.

I know when I took zithromax (twice), both times I got instruction that it is best to take on an empty stomach but it is ok to take with a bit of food or milk. It was also what my local pharmacist told me when I inquired just to be sure. So, the best experienced advice you will get other than Grace or Dallasfan, or AuntiJessie on free forum is your pharmacist or prescribing provider.

Initially I was curious about the time it takes for zithromax and floxicillin to take effect. Is there a typical timeline that these meds take full effect?

More, like 2g, would be even better. There should be no reason to need to take the doxycycline at the same time. The best bet is to take your zithromax and then be retested later to be sure you're rid of the chlamydia. You should wait at least a couple weeks after taking your antibiotics for a more accurate result. And don't have unprotected sex in the meantime!

i want to know this is because of i m taking Zithromax tablet..Because i read some website that Zithromax make some Common and Severe Side efftects. most COMMON side effects persist or become bothersome when using Zithromax Tablets: Diarrhea; headache; loose stools; nausea; stomach pain; upset stomach; vomiting. source :http://www.drugs.com/sfx/zithromax-side-effects.html If it is because of the tablet how long i recover from head ache...Please reply me..thanks in advance.

I mean, 2 months to completley stop spotting between periods.....it takes time for your body to heal......its day 4, I would give it about 3 more days then return to the doctor if you dont feel any better. Remember that zithromax keeps working for 5 days after the medication is gone......probably longer since it is one BIG dose rather than 5 days of smaller doses like you would take for a sinus infection or something....

Also, when I take the Flagyl I eat wheat crackers(they are saltine crackers but wheat instead of the regular saltine) with it, they have them at Kroger, I don't know if you guys have Krogers where you are but the crackers helped me a TON! Also, are you taking both of your abx at once(same time)? The flagyl and the Zithromax? You might try taking them at different times, my dr.

Aren't you scared about what he could have to give to you? You at least could take a few pills to get rid of chlamydia . Next time you might not be so lucky. You need to be talking about std's with every partner!

Exactly 5 weeks and 2 days after i had high fever 102 with sore throat and swollen gland in the neck i took zithromax right away and the next day the fever was gone and felt way better i didnt notice any rash by the way but my swollen glad were still there for about 3 days after 9 and a half week from exposure i got the shingles but very light no burning skin or itching so i went to see my doctor and he gave me valtrex since i caught the shingles in the first 72 hours i had to take 2 pills ever

I have been taking Azithromycin for 4 days. I have gotten worse. Still have fever and have developed nasal congestion with yellow discharge. ENT gave me Spectracef. I read that Spectracef does not treat mychoplasma. So, is there an antibiotic that would treat both mychoplasma AND sinusitis incase I have one or both?

seems to think that I have bronchitis and has prescribed a very powerful antibiotic called levaquin that I will take for 5 days. He also acknowledged the constant coughing deal with taking riba but told me that I have a bronchial infection. Any comments from others who have had to take antibiotics during treatment? I can't find anything in the material supplied with pegasys or copagus regarding use of antibiotics.
