Common Questions and Answers about Zithromax vs amoxicillin

zithromax

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 n tn My blood tests came back negative (they came back within 5 days), but the doctor gave me Zithromax to take as a precaution. Fast forward two weeks - I was feeling fatigued, my glands on my neck were slightly sore, and I had a really sore throat. I went to my regular doctor and he gave me a 5 day course of amoxicillin to clear my throat. It worked fine. Now, I have just found out that the stripper works as a prostitute.
Avatar f tn t seem to have problems with doxycycline, amoxicillin or clindamycin. Clindamycin destroys my stomach though. I avoid cipro and zithromax.
Avatar m tn Amoxicillin is not used to treat STIs such as gonorrhea or chlamydia. Azithromycin or Zithromax is most commonly used for treatment of these infections. Typically 2g which is equivalent to 2, 000mg. Your best preventive measure is using a condom .
Avatar f tn Hi. I'm still being treated with antibiotics for a clinical diagnosis of Lyme disease. I'm just wondering if there are others out there who experience a large amount of tingling and numbness in hands, feet, face, scalp and sometimes even my tongue. I don't have any pain in my joints, it all seems to be neurological. I also have a lot of pressure in my head and dizziness/lightheadedness. It's as though I can't move my head fast or I'll have an "off" feeling.
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 went to the doctor and was diagnosed with chlamydia and tested negative for gonorrhea, syphilis, and HIV, I was prescribed the 1000mg dose of zithromax, I took the pills and ate two hours after I took the pill (the directions said take 1 hour prior to eating).
Avatar m tn Hi J..may I ask what they gave you augmentin for ? If it was for the winter upper resporitory crap that was going around then maybe it wasn't strong enough. Augmentin is a pretty broad spectrum anti. Maybe ask for Zpack (zithromycin). The trouble with antibiotics are doctors over prescribe this crap and becomes ineffective as the bugs become resistant.
Avatar m tn I wasn’t satisfied with the answer so I went to another doctor and he said my throat was irritated and he gave me Zithromax. I took the Zithromax and it got a little better. The phlegm started disappearing, but I developed pain in my throat. I didn’t really have pain before. Again I never had a cough, allergies or fever. At this point my ears started hurting and itching. I also had a minor headache, but I never had a fever. It also did not hurt when I swallowed.
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.

216175 tn?1226095585 t ever remember that I had a herx at all. I am now recovering from the flu, and my doctor wants me to take zithromax for the cough that is lingering. I have never taken it before, I only ever took amoxicillin. I am scared to take it because I am afraid that if I do have Lyme this will cause a herx. I know herxs are good things, but I don't know how in the world I will be able to afford the treatment that I will need to have if I do have it. Very scared right now.
Avatar n tn My partner and I are experiencing symptoms that began about the same time 5/29 - she has conjunctivitis that has at this point spread to both eyes although being prescribed antibiotic eyedrops. About the same time I developed an itching sensation that eventually progressed and became painful and small clear discharge. Also I have some swelling and redness at the tip of the penis. Went to the STD clinic on 6/4, was sampled and diagnosed with NGU.
Avatar f tn I was prescribed a five day course of Zithromax over the phone which seemed to help, the ears drained fluid and no longer felt full but I still had pain behind my left ear and popping in both ears. I was seen by another dr who said there was no obvious sign of infection in either ear, I "absolutely" had viral labyrhinthiis, prescribed a nasal corticosteroid and said to try that for six weeks, which didn't help.
Avatar m tn first day 4 tablets, second day, 2 tablets. Two days later, I had no more burning but instead felt discomfort (not a real pain) in my testicles and they were swollen so I went to see a doctor here in Thailand. As I don't have any discharge, he said he cannot test on Gonorrhea. He also think it could be all kind of infection so he gave me Clavam 1000 (Amoxicillin) for 8 days (2 times a day).
Avatar f tn I am wondering if anyone else gets black stool after treatment with antibiotics (cipro, zithromax). I took these for a mild UTI, and I had severe constipation too. Yesterday, my stool had normal texture, but it was almost black. I did take acidophilous during the antibiotic treatment. I told my doctor about it, and he wasn't worried about it since my CBC tests were normal. any ideas?
Avatar m tn Amoxicillin Zithromax (azithrmycin) Doxycicline Ofloxacin Still have the same sypmtoms...
Avatar m tn After earlier courses of Amoxicillin, then Zithromax, upon determining Pneumonia I have been prescribed Levaquin, a much stronger antibiotic; But the Levaquin costs $ 264, which I can not afford. Is there a comparable antibiotic I can take that is more reasonably priced?
Avatar f tn For example, a physician may prescribe a penicillin such as Amoxicillin, along with a macrolide such as Zithromax. The Amoxicillin stays mostly in the body’s fluids and blood stream. Meanwhile, Zithromax not only penetrates the cell wall where the Bb organism is residing (and/or hiding), but it also penetrates deep tissue areas, which Lyme bacteria also inhabit.
Avatar f tn I AM AWAITING A REPLACEMENT FOR MY FAULTY KEYBOARD WHICH WILL ONLY PRODUCE UPPER CASE LETTERS. MY APOLOGIES FOR WHAT APPEARS TO BE POOR NETIQUETTE. I MAY BE OLD, ENGLISH AND LONG RETIRED AS A DENTAL SURGEON (B.D.S. FROM ONE OF THE TOP UK MEDICAL UNIVERSITIES) BUT I CAN SEE NO LOGICAL REASON WHY A SIMPLE SINGLE LARGE DOSE OF PROPHYLACTIC ANTIBIOTIC (USUALLY AMOXICILLIN FAMILY) IF THE PATIENT CANNOT GIVE A FULL PREVIOUS MEDICAL HISTORY.
