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 After my unsuccessful 48 weeks of traditional HCV treatment, I took amoxicillin as prescribed for pre dental work as I also have a total joint replacement. I was alarmed that my viral load came roaring back only 3 months post treatment. I wanted to know if there is any link to amoxicillin and feeding the HCV virus?
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 n tn 2%) on azithromycin and 1/22 (4.5%) on ciprofloxacin. Hence, azithromycin stat dose has proved to be a cost-effective treatment for uncomplicated gonorrhoea supported by the increased prevalence of penicillin-resistant organisms, concomitant chlamydial infection and the high failure rate in keeping review appointments.

Avatar n tn It is now Saturday, my daughter was diagnosed with strep throat Wednesday night and started amoxicillin in the urgent care, Friday afternoon she broke out in a itchy rash...mostly on her torso but some on her legs, neck, and arms. She has been on amoxicillin several times before from ear infections when she was little. The only difference with that is it is no longer pink (the amoxicillin).

Avatar n tn 04PM You are right that the data on use of azithromycin for syphilis prevention is worrisome however penicillin (or amoxicillin) is highly active and if you had been exposure to syphilis 5 days of amoxicillin would have cured it. Please do not th8ink that I am trying to "point a finger". I just wanted to let you know that I have taken the time to research but am still vague on the issue. Would 1.5g of azithromycin taken in a single dose cure syphillis?
Avatar n tn Minor error, I guess your first antibiotic was amoxicillin, not azithromycin. Even better; there are no STDs or other bacteria that would stand up to both those drugs. So the error doesn't change my opinion or advice.

1067297 tn?1255030564 ve read about patient experiences, amoxicillin is a popular choice for treating Lyme, especially in younger patients. Doxycycline is also widely used in treating Lyme.
