Azithromycin dosage strep

Common Questions and Answers about Azithromycin dosage strep

zithromax

Avatar n tn It might be, it does seem a little light but it could clear a STD up if you had it. Best thing is always wait for tests. And I think this is why the Dr went light on the dosage.
Avatar n tn Amoxicillin unless in high doses or mixed with clavulanate acid (making the brand name Augmentin) can be ineffective and the azithromycin add on really sounds like an odd choice to treat strep. Call your doctor and tell them you are not improving. You normally start to feel better within 48 hours on an antibiotic with lessoning of symptoms (always take the full course of the medication though even if you feel better). With PANDAS and other strep related complications, get it knocked out.
Avatar f tn Yes, a ZPack is azithromycin, but a ZPack is actually a pre-packaged 5 day course, at least here in the US. And I just learned that it's Z-Pak. Cute. This is an image of what it looks like - https://www.grxstatic.com/d4fuqqd5l3dbz/products/tms/Package_14438.
Avatar n tn In the meatal area there was a clear but not discharging secretions. I self treated with 1 gram of Cipro and 1 gram of Azithromycin, followed by 250mg per day of Azithromycin for 2 days. However, symptoms of pharyngitis & urethritis continued. I went to my doctor about a week after having taken the Azithromycin & Cipro.
Avatar m tn Hansfield, in a forum post on z-packs and gonorrhea, said that azithromycin will kill the clap but the dosage needs to go a few more days than the typically z-pack length of time. Should I take another one after this one to ensure I kill whatever it is I have? 2. I don't understand how, after having chlaymedia, which is not nearly as severe symptomatically as the clap, you can state that the severity can be low to high IN ME specifically.
Avatar m tn Doc put me on a combination with Doxy 100 mg twice a day but I had a reaction to Doxy so I only stuck with Azithromycin. My urine analysis showed moderate growth of Strep Group B as well. Doc said that the co infection with strep group B could be the reason for treatment failure against MG. So I've started a Nitrofurantoin course for 7 days 100 mg twice a day for Strep Group B. Symptoms are better but not fully resolved after Azithromycin. Will retest after 3 weeks and update.
Avatar f tn 1) is it possible that the antibiotics not being finished before (first dose of azithromycin for strep I never had being same drug used to treat, doxy not finished due to false negative) created a resistance to azithromycin? 2A) or I also got a yeast infection from the plethora of antibiotics in an 8 day time span? B) if so is it useful to get OTC monistat while on my period if it's light?
Avatar n tn I have started the normal dosage of azithromycin for it's common use (I am sick), but found out that someone I slept with may have had chlamydia in the past. Would the dosage of 500 mg per day for 3 days (total of 1500 mg) be effective for treating chlamydia if I have it? I have already talked the first 500 mg tablet today. Should I take 2 x 500 mg tomorrow? Or continue my current dosage?
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 I told the doctor I was concerned about STDs, so she prescribed 4 tablets (250mg each) of Azithromycin and 1 tablet (500mg) of Ciprofloxacin. I took all dosage that same day. I still have that white dot on my tonsile. I don't have burning when I urinate, but my anus is still a little sore. 1) What are the chances I got an STD from this episode? 2) Which STDs should I be concerned about? 3) Could that green mucus have originated from his penis in the form of gonoreah?
Avatar f tn Ok so i was treated for Chlamydia [havent got results back yet] with the 4 pink pills called Azithromycin [one time dosage]. My symptoms were itchy penis and i had discharge coming from my penis. I was treated for Chlamydia and my symptoms pretty much went away i still have very mild discharge [only in the moring] its been almost a week since i was treated, is this normal? should it be complety gone already?
Avatar n tn I wasn't entirely sure what topic to put this under but here is my quesiton... For months and months I've had trouble with my water works, I've had numerous urine samples, an ultrasound on my kidneys, x rays and I am now waiting on a cystoscopy. I've never felt the need to have an STD test because I have always believed my boyfriend was completely honest about his previous sexual encounters.
Avatar n tn Z-packs (azithromycin = Zithromax) have worked quite well for my daughter's strep infections. Z-pac is usually a five day course of antibiotic that lasts for ten days. I would recommend that if you are not feeling better by day five that you go ahead and call the dr's office and see what they recommend. You definitely want the infection to be gone by the time your antibiotic stops working. Some people take a steroid to help with the inflamation in the throat.
Avatar m tn This wouldnt be the correct dosage? Is there a difference between azithromycin 250mg and 500mg, even if they are added up to the same exact dosage? Would 1000mg of azithromycin (from a zpack) cure chlamydia is my question.
Avatar n tn I was diagnosed with Strep Throat about 2 weeks ago. I went one week taking Amoxicillin 3 times a day. By the next Monday, I was worse. I called my doctor, who changed me to Azithromycin. My laryngitis is better. Most of the sore throat is gone. However, I still have sore swollen glands, and I still have a large white pocket in my throat (Next to my Faucial Pillars). Is this typical? How long should I give it for the white patch and gland stuff to go away?
Avatar m tn I went to a dr and started a zpack and cefuroxime and later that day had a throat swab for strep, chlamydia and gonorrhea. I had already had 500mg of cefuroxime and 500mg of Azithromycin before the throat swab. They turned out negative after several days. The next morning a NAA urine test for Chlamydia and Gonorrhea. Also negative. Five days after exposure I started getting slight burning in my urethra and urgency to urinate.
Avatar m tn I have just finish the treatment for gonorrhea after finishing the prescribed 5 day dosage of azithromycin. After further reading on azithromycin in the internet, I stumbled upon some people saying including in this forums that taking azithromycin can affect the vdrl for syphilis. I'm starting to get worried. I didn't notice any symptoms of syphilis on me at all. So is it possible that azithromycin can affect the vdrl for syphilis? I hope my doctor knew what he was doing.
Avatar f tn I had some azithromycin prescribed to me for diarrhoea from my doctor before I came overseas, to use in case of illness/travellers diarrhoea and inability to see a doctor. I looked up the uses of azithromycin and saw that it could be taken for chlamydia. Unfortunately at that time I didn't read the prescribed dose, so I took 1000mg in the way that is recommended for travellers diarrhoea, two 250mg tablets Day 1, Day 2 + 3 one 250mg tablet.
Avatar f tn Can anyone help me please! I know the standard dosage for chlamydia is 1g of azithromycin usually 2 x 500mg pills, my question is would 500mg over 3 days cure the chlamydia as it's over the 1g?
Avatar m tn ) Thoughts on whether this could be bacterial? Between strep antibiotics and for this I’ve been on azithromycin for 5 days, cephalexin for 10 days, clindamycin for 10 days, doxy for 7 days, just started cipro for 10 days. I’ve been on so many antibiotics and if it was bacterial wouldn’t the the utheral tube also be red and the other side of the opening ? 2.) Thoughts on whether the redness is HPV? 3.) Any suggestions on what it could be or what what tests I should run?
Avatar n tn The doctor told me it was probably strep throat and prescribed me penecillin. My throat got better. Only 12 days off of the antibiotics, and I decided to get tested for a STD as the symptoms of painful urination and an itch in my penis worsened and became much more bothersome. Now I'm wondering, could this strep throat really have been gonorrhea or another STD.
Avatar f tn So, November 7th, I had unprotected oral sex and protected anal sex. Well, he went in once without a condom and I made him pull out to put a condom on. Anywho, around November 26th, my throat was sore and had inflamed tonsils with white patches on them. I immediately got scared and went to the ER where she said it was strep but didn't take a throat swab. She prescribed me Keflex and I went back two days later because of no improvement.
Avatar m tn I was in the middle of a 10 day amoxicillin treatment for strep throat, would this nullify any sti? I havent noticed any symptoms at all but once i started to think about the encounter i was constantly checking if any discharge occurred, im uncircumcised so i dont know if this would make it harder to notice. I called my doc and he told me not to worry and prescribed me azithromycin. Im really beating myself up over being so irresponsible. Any response would be great. Thank you.
Avatar m tn Doctor thinks she has strep so he took a strep test. Doctor said strep was highly contagious and asked if our 3 kids and myself got it. But nope only my wife. Questions: 1. After readying the above what do you think my risks are for STD's? 2. If my wife does have strep throat is it possible that me and our 3 kids will not catch strep? We shared drinks on Saturday night,wife already starting having sore throat. Doc told her its highly contagious. 3.
Avatar n tn 2) What other drug/dosage is commonly prescribed for UTIs? I cannot afford to visit a clinic/doctor right now at all, so telling me to ask my doctor, consult my care provider, etc, though understandable, will be of absolutely no help.
Avatar m tn Hello, I have recently been diagnosed with mild NGU although I am still waiting for my Chlamydia and Gonorrhea results. I have been given one single dose of azithromycin (1 g) . It has been four days now, and when i urinate there is still a burning sensation. I have not had any discharge at all. Before (Hours before) I have the burning feeling when I urinate, I also have a feeling of pressure/pain at my pelvis. 1.
Avatar m tn The standard treatment is either a single 1.0 gram dose of azithromycin (which is long-acting and actually gives over a week of effective treatment); or doxycycline, usually 100 mg twice daily for a week. These cover chlamydia as well as nonchlamydial NGU." Dr. HHH And you should already know that since you posted in that thread.
Avatar f tn Well, it may not be strep if he hasn't done a strep test or culture. Do you have pus in your throat or did you? Do you have a high fever/ He is probably just treating for a variety of bacteria. Yes if you haven't cleared the sore throat and ear infection (which could also be viral. You should really get cultures done if it hasn't cleared or clarify if he thinks it is viral but is treating empircally to make sure you don't get a secondary infection such as pneumonia.
