avelox
I took a 7 day course of 400mg Avelox about one month ago (April 5th). I have had a good amount of tendon pain mostly in left achilles and in tendons on top and bottom of arch of foot as well as some heel and knee pain. Again, like I said primarily left side. The achilles pain has subsided some, most of the pain and discomfort now is in the foot.
I was just diagnosed with Pheripheral Neuropathy which was caused by Quinolone antibiotics. My Neurologist recommended Steroid treatments, but could not promise any results. I have read that Steroids should not be taken by people whom have been floxed by Quinolones. Do you know anything about this?
The doctors do not want to admit or agree that floxing is caused by the Quinolones even though the prescription sheet from the pharmacy states so. I am absolutely sure that it is in my case.
I have had a round of Avelox a few weeks ago and recently Omnicef 600mg/day for 10 days and still have discharge. Question,
wouldn't these antibiotics be affective against NGU, Chlamydia or Gonnorrhea? Thanks for the help.
After trying Doxy, Azithromycin, and Flagyl, the only antibiotic that finally worked was Avelox. The question now is what I should treat my partner with. I know from my experience that my NGU was passed sexually, and she needs to get treated before we can have sex again. The problem, is that she said she is allergic to Avelox. Another problem, is that since it is NGU, we cannot test to confirm if the bacteria is cured, and she is also asymptomatic.
I have tendonitis as a result of taking Avelox. Is this a condition that can be treated like other tendonitis and what is the prognisis?
Hi,
I had unprotected sex with a woman about 2 months ago. The next day I began experiencing a slight burn during urination. I went to a doctor who gave me a weeks worth of Doxy and two other pills, Not sure what they were. After 4 days of Doxy things were still getting worse. I went back and he the gave me 500mg of Cipro to be taken 2 times daily for a week. Painful urination persisted. Went back to the doc who then put me on Levofloxicin 500 mg/day x 4 weeks.
Ciprofloxacin, Avelox, Levaquin, norefloxacin, etc) cause, instead of choosing to diagnose each symptom individually?
Avelox... I went yesterday and saw a lung specialist, he calmed me down and told me that i only have a little pneumonia in my lower left side it's nothing to be worried about. It's the bronchitis that's causing a lot of pain in my chest and back that I did not have prior to the antibiotics.
I recently developed an upper respitory infection and bronchitis and one of the medications was AVELOX. Within 3 days the severe pain in my shoulders was GONE. How is this possible? Was it a viral infection causing my pains and if so could it be a form of Lyme Disease?
Starting that evening, I began taking Avelox from a prev infection. I took 4 does over 4 nights. On day 5 I woke up with an erection and began masturbating. I noticed a milky yellowish discharge at the tip of my penis prior to ejaculation. I finished masturbating (ejaculate was yellowish white) and went to work. I noticed discharge from my penis. There was a yellowish underwear stain but unsure if that is from semen or if gonocal discharge.
treated with doxycycline by end of june for 1 wk. started on avelox end of july for 1 wk. then given levaquin for a wk. by last wk doc said she didn't think was infection cause levaquin shoudl have killed anything, even though I was still having gobs of green phlegm coming down the back of my throat and out of my lungs. she sent me to the asthma and allergy clinic where i was tested for 27 diff allergies all negative for.
t abated, provider considered trich, and mycoplasm as possible culprits). I was also put on avelox 400 mg for 10 days as well. Currently I have 6 days remaining on the doxycycline and 9 days remaining on the avelox. I have not engaged in any sexual activity whatsoever since my diagnosis however I still have a very mild clear mucus discharge primarily in the morning; the penile itching and dysuria has abated.
m treated with a topical antibiotic belonging to the quinolone - twice courses for 2 weeks. It is better but still the infection is not gone. Some of you have any experience? To continue now only local for 3th course or to be taken and internal antibiotics scheme and for how long?
Thank you!

After two days of suffering ithcing in my urethra, followed by a frequent urge to urinate, I began to take some left over Avelox (400 mg) that I had on hand. Trust me, I know this was dumb. 36 hours after I began taking the Avelox (one dose on Friday night at 5:30 pm and one on Saturday at 5:00 pm) I had a swab for gonorrhea and chlamydia (1:45 pm on Sunday). The test results just came back negative. Is it possible that the Avelox ruined the test results?
all negative(inculded hepres),
Pockit: HIV, syphilis, herpes 2 IgG negative
6weeks- Blood test: herpes 1 IgG(EIA) positive, herpes 2 IgG(EIA) negative
Doctor told me that your disease is probably Non-Bacterial Prostatitis.
So, I took medicine Cefaclor (250 mg) Capsule for 2weeks.
8weeks- PCR(urine+prostate fluid): all negative(inculded hepres)
However, I still pain less than previous pain.
Doctor told me that your disease is probably Non-Bacterial Prostatitis.
Went to see a couple of doctors and they think it is sinus infection - so went on two anti-biotic treatments (Augmentin 10 days - which did not work, then Avelox 14 days). Just finished the Avelox course, but still having some post nasal drip and sore throat. But generally feeling better. Question: How would you assess the risk of this encounter for STD's and HIV in particular? Does female ejaculate fluid contain the HIV virus? What about other STD's?
I had pneumonia after contracting the flu in July. Was treated with Avelox and, when symptoms came back, Azithromycin.
I still have a cough, which seems, at times, to improve and then recur. The cough is not severe, though there is a sensation of irritation, of needing to expel something in my chest, left side. I have wheezing upon forceful exhalation.
A chest x-ray on 7/19/09 showed "Prominent interstitial markings left midlung anteriorly.
