Common Questions and Answers about Avelox what does it treat

avelox

Avatar m tn I posted earlier about NGU symptoms and what to take for it. 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.
Avatar n tn 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?
660680 tn?1225215237 The itch you experienced, particularly given just how it was related in time to taking the avelox, suggests a drug reaction. It does not in any way suggest HIV. I bet the itch will go away as the avelox leaves your system. Your HIV test will not be worthless but it was taken a bit early to be 100% confident with its results. At two weeks an HIV blood test would detect about half of infections acquired two weeks or more earlier.
Avatar m tn 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.
1373852 tn?1307843048 side effects are you talking about? Avelox is a great antibiotic for resp. infections. I have taken it many times and I am a nurse. It is expensive though. Do you smoke? If so, the phlegm is probably building b/c your cilia cannot clear your airway any longer.
Avatar m tn If the tendonitis is due to Avelox then yes, it can be treated as usual. The pain and inflammation will subside once the medication leaves the body completely. This may take a week. This is treated with NSAIDs, rest and orthotics or specially designed foot wear to ease the pressure off the tendon. Take care!
Avatar n tn It sounds you have a chest infection , you need to go to the Doctors and put on Meds to clear the infection , Take care
Avatar f tn I'm not sure who or what it is but I am the same way. I had a bad anxiety attack while I was on entex. I used to feel the same way with my muscle relaxers, but I think I was causing them at the time!!
Avatar f tn Sounds correct. I am not so sure about the part he said the phlegm has been sitting in your body so long that it will be absorbed and will be expelled in your stool. Avelox and prednisone should do it. Drink plenty of water and get plenty of rest. I just went through the same thing; had Bronchitis. Pneumonia will not per se affect your kidneys and bladder, but avelox can. I believe it has been "black boxed" in the USA. It has alot of side effects that can occur.
Avatar f tn ve ever had in my life. I took Avelox for 10 days which finally got be past it BUT once I stopped taking the Avelox I developed wheezing and a cough and pain when I tried to take a deep breath. This lasted for, oh, six weeks or so. Long enough to have me VERY concerned that I might have a chronic condition. Six weeks, at least to me, is a LONG time to go and not get any better. But then, three days ago, I had probably my worst day of coughing yet. And the next day...I was better.
Avatar f tn You will also find out what is wrong with you permanently as well. Many times it takes more then 6 months before damage occurs. Mine happened after 6 months and up to 24 months. By the way, Hypothyroidism is one of the first symptoms I had. I still do not have a doctor that will say it was fluroquinolones though. I have been off of fluroquinolones for 4 years. I do feel that I am getting better but slowly.
Avatar n tn Hook, am I correct in understanding that I can engage in unprotected sex with my partner immediately following my completion of the two weeks of doxycycline and 10 days of avelox without putting my partner at risk? Also at what time can I receive a conclusive result from an at home oral rapid hiv test? Are these accurate?
Avatar m tn Possible Exposure: Giving unprotected oral sex (cunnlingus) to female - total time 10 to 15 minutes. She ejaculated into my mouth (due to clitoral orgasm) and I swallowed fluids quickly. No other intercourse. After this encounter, I began having symptoms after 10 days or so including sore throat, post-nasal drip, neck lymph nodes swollen, general fatigue (feels like low-grade fever but when temparature is checked, it is 97 to 99).
Avatar f tn t even eat a bowl of oatmeal for fear that the iron in it will interract with it, or eat a banana because of the potassium. what else could be the problem?
Avatar n tn Dr. - 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?
Avatar m tn As for herpes- there is nothing in this history to suggest that this is HSV. HSV does not cause prostatitis, does not last as long as your symptoms have and does not cause urethral pain without there also being external lesion. This is not HSV. I hope these comments are helpful. Typically problems such as prostatitis require a more prolonged course of therapy with a medication such as trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole.
Avatar f tn t find other people who have overcome this issue or information about this side effect beside the fact that it exists. Is it possible that the avelox triggered some kind of autoimmune disorder that is causing my body to attack my tendons? how would I get it diagnosed? I lost my health insurance and can't afford MRIs or expensive dr visits. I'm lost and becoming depressed and hopeless. I'm only 25 years old female and before this, an athlete and very active person.
Avatar m tn How does Avelox compare to Zithromax as far as treatment, what testing could be done for this and how do you treat it in your clinic. My Urologist prescribed me 1 weeks worth at 400 mg per day since I had a bad reaction to cipro months back. I have searched this forum from front to back and the web as well not to mention a few books and haven’t found much info at all It seems that everything I read contradicts what I have read previously.
Avatar f tn Would acupuncture work for anxiety and dizziness? Does it hurt or what does a person feel? Im a nervous reck.. Cause Im scared to. Be on meds..
Avatar m tn t know how long it will take to clear out of your system. That would depend on what kind of antibiotic it was and how you metabolize it. Do a search for its side effects and see if they match up. Your dr does need to know about your reaction to the medicine so that he doesn't give it to you again. Have you tried acid reflux meds yet?
Avatar m tn it is also prescribed for sleep disorders (at low doses) as they found it does not work for what it was initially intended for...i was prescribed it, but havent resorted to it yet and probably wont...but it is used for sleep and as a boost or addition to antidepressants for depression...for use at night only as it does induce sleep...(25mgs-100mgs) 600 mgs is what was prescribed when used for bipolar etc...doesnt work well for that, it now has other uses...
