Common Questions and Answers about Azithromycin dosing children

zithromax

Avatar m tn This is a good question and the answer is that this is almost certainly effective therapy for chlamydial infection, HOWEVER, treatment of chlamydia with azithromycin has not been formally studied using this dosing schedule. Soon after azithromycin was released, it was shown that taking a Z-pack, consisting of 500 mg on day one, followed by several days of 250 mg per day was slightly less effective than a single 1.0 gram dose.
1692704 tn?1307211780 Azithromycin (except Zmax) can be taken with or without food, but food reduces stomach upset. Zmax should be taken on an empty stomach 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal since food reduces its absorption. ... "DRUG INTERACTIONS: Azithromycin (except Zmax) should not be taken at the same time as aluminum- or magnesium- based antacids, such as Mylanta or Maalox because antacids will bind the azithromycin and prevent it from being absorbed from the intestine. ...
Avatar f tn she had a chest xray done on thursday and showed pneumonia. She started on amoxicillin on thursday and azithromycin on friday. She had a fever again on monday night after her shower. today she felt warm to the touch but normal rectal and tympanic temp. shouldn't the fevers be gone by now because of the antibiotics? We live near phoenix az and she got tested for valley fever the results are still pending. I'm just worried. I really don't know what to do at this point.
Avatar n tn I was researching Trichomoniasis online and one website mentioned that Azithromycin is one treatment for it. Since I was given Azithromycin for the Chlamydia, would this have also cured the Trichomoniasis as well? If not, is there any way a doctor would prescribe me the Trichomoniasis medication without testing? I have read that a swab test is needed to diagnose Trichomoniasis, and I've heard swab testing is incredibly painful so I'd like to avoid that if possible.
Avatar f tn I was only given 500MG of Azithromycin. I have read everywhere that 1g should be given. Will 500MG still cure me? I was told to wait 48 hours after both my husband and I were treated before having sex again, everywhere else says one to two weeks? Finally, I had no symptoms before, but after taking the Azithromycin I have had external itching and slight burning. It has been 72 hours and no sexual contact has been made.
Avatar f tn He had pain with urination and came up positive for mycoplasma genitallium. I have done doxy and azithromycin and still came up positive for mycoplasma genitallium and ureaplasma. my partner and I are finishing up 14 days on Moxi and I am still having cramping. My partner is still having testicular pain. So I’m guessing this didn’t work either. I would assume my symptoms should be cleared up right after the treatment, right? Anyone have success getting any other medications in the USA?
Avatar m tn Azithromycin in a dose of 1000 mg is one of the recommended therapies for NGU. the other is doxycycline, 100 mg twice daily for 7 days.

Avatar f tn So i got Lidocaine spray just to be able to swallow the meds and got oral rehydration solution to compensate for the lost saliva am spitting. I also added azithromycin 500mg ( am allergic to augmentin ) for 3 days to cover for any bacterial superinfection that might kick in later in this ugly course. Today is the 5th day of this painful journey, i still have the same pain in my throat cant swallow anything without crying from the pain the hits from my pharynx all the way to both ears.
Avatar f tn Is "Zpack" azithromycin? I've been pulsing Zith since Feb., and it's still effective in me. I started pulsing Tindamax last week and barely made it through my 1st pulse as it hit me pretty hard. I resume it on Monday. I've been on and off plaquenil a couple of time during my treatment. The first time I tried it it was way too much for me. I recently did a shourt course of it with much more mild Herxing, a good sign that I'm much better than I was before.
Avatar n tn I just received my chlamydia treatment in the form of 4 tablets to be taken in one dose of Azithromycin. I starting menstruating today and I didnt know if there would be any reason this would affect the effectiveness of the drug. Also my partner was just treated yesterday...How long before we can resume having sex?
Avatar f tn After taking Azithromycin and getting a shot in my butt and waiting 7-8 days is it safe for me to receive oral sex from a female even if my symptoms cleared up the next day I took them and after being treated and given a shot and if I got treated within 5 days in noticing something is my chance of getting rid of a STD higher since I reacted on it faster and after waiting 7-8 days after taking azithromycin and getting a shot can not use a condom and still be safe even when the symptoms cleared up
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with Chlamydia about a week ago. They gave me Azithromycin, 4 tablets at 250mg to take all at once. I took them and have severe stomach cramping and nausea, and ended up getting sick about 45 to an hour after taking the last pill... hoping that I would have already digested it before I got sick. The stomach pain lasted the rest of the day. It's been about 3 days now since I have taken it, but I still have that "burning" sensation after I urinate.
Avatar m tn t know how to prescribe or dose it for children. So, we are at a loss to find a doctor who is familiar with these meds and has used them to to treat symptoms in children. What I would like to know is if we can direct a doctor to the right literature on this and he/she is willing to help, can gabapentin and tramadol be used to treat children for this condition of neurogenic cough and how would we find accurate dosing help?
15695260 tn?1549593113 Researchers in Germany (however patients were from all over the world in their research) have found that routine blood tests can predict if children with a genetic tie to diabetes will actually develop Type 1 diabetes. They found that if a child has two or more autoantibodies, it's nearly inevitable that they will develop the disease. The research followed participants for 15 years and tested children when they were very young.
Avatar m tn A cephalosporin (such as ceftriaxone) combined with doxycycline is an alternative. Azithromycin can be used for susceptible strains. In children, quinolones and doxycycline are best avoided. Since bacteria that cause urinary tract infections are often the cause of epididymitis in children, co-trimoxazole or suited penicillins (for example, cephalexin) can be used. If there is a sexually transmitted disease, the partner should also be treated.' http://en.wikipedia.
Avatar n tn Im female, I tested positive for gonorrhea as well as BV. I received treatment on Dec 16th, I took 2g of azithromycin and started metro for the BV. I'm still having a lot of discharge. If the azithromycin doesnt work, which I dont think it is, I'll have to wait 30 days to get tested again. Im so mad at myself and I feel hopeless. Im terrified of passing it somehow to my kids thru casual contact, Everything I read says a simple kiss could pass it. Im ready to pack my bags and leave home.
Avatar n tn Just precautionary I just started Azithromycin on my own, going to take it for 2-4 days, 500mg 1 dose daily ..... and to make matter worse, the original problem of burning penis stayed, from this afternoon - anal burning has also started.it's all bearable but strong enough to make it's occurrence felt ...... having some irritable bowl movements as well ... The penile tip is a little tender, but no pain yet.
Avatar n tn on research I see that amoxicillin has a wide dosing range you should be okay, but of course get in touch with the doctor to make sure..
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with secondary autoimmune adrenal insufficiency in December. I feel lousy most of the time, have chronic abdominal pain and abnormal stools, and feel best flat on my back...which doesn't work well for someone who works 12 hour shifts in a busy ER while selling one house, building another, and has 2 teens and a disabled husband, lol. Here's my question. If a person has say diabetes, their meds are based on their blood sugars.
