Avatar m tn - How effective are the antibiotics usually prescribed for the treatment of chlamydia – specifically, Azithromycin 1 Gram (Single Powdered Dose mixed with two (2) ounces of water) and Doxycycline Hyclate (100 Mg Capsules – Administered twice per day for seven (7) days)? - How common is it that chlamydia symptoms persist during and after antibiotic treatment(s)? (Assume that both treatments were completed with strict adherence of clinical instruction).
Avatar m tn I am Male 42, from Pakistan I had unprotected sex vaginal and slight anal penetration once (big mistake ) with a sex worker on 27 Sept 13, on 29 Sept I felt severe itching in my groins and irritation in anus. I took 750 mg Azithromycin 29 sept night followed by 250 mg Azithromycin with 400 mg cefixime on 30 Sept morning. I waited for 24 hours The symptoms didn't resolve rather I started having severe irritation after peeing.
Avatar m tn Hi Doctor, I know that the standard treatment for chlamydia is one dose of 1g of azithromycin. However, how effective would two separate doses of 750mg of azithromycin, each 24 hours apart, be? That is a total of 1500mg of azithromycin within a 24 hour period. Thank you!

The culture and sensitivity-gram stain result of pus will be 3 days.
Avatar m tn As you probably know, we know that a single 1.0 gram dose of azithromycin will cure nearly all chlamydial infections and is the recommended therapy for NGU. For gonorrhea the 2.0 gram dose is recommended. The 2.0 gram dose is also the dose shown to be effective for syphilis. You describe taking 1500 mg (1.5 grams) over about 3 days. This dose would probably cure most chlamydial infection and NGU and some gonorrhea or syphilis but not all.
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 n tn finally, when studied over 15 years ago 1.0 gram of azithromycin was highly effective for syphilis prevention. since then there have been some reports of failure of this dose to prevent syphilis in exposed men who have sex with other men.
Avatar m tn I had yellow urethral discharge on March 20th and was treated with my partner for gonorrhea and chlamydia with cefixime and azithromycin. We were not tested, just treated because we were leaving for a vacation that day. We were both symptom free for 5-6 weeks after treatment. Five or six weeks later, during the last week of April my girlfriend had a foul odor from her vagina.
Avatar f tn t stand it anymore, it made me throw up. So I went back and they gave me the 1 gram dose of azithromycin, which I took on the 23rd. I noticed improvement in my symptoms within days (I had some itching, redness, odor and excess discharge that was different than usual), but then got my period so I couldn't tell anymore. It's now the 30th and my period is gone, and I still have symptoms, though they're less than before.
Avatar m tn In fact, the studies show that the 1.0 gram dose of azithromycin is more effective for chlamydia than taking the 500 mg dose followed by 250 dose pills." 1. I just wanted to know whether in the post, this meant 500mg at first, followed by 250mg per day for 4 days. 2. and also whether, the 1 g that Dr. Hook was referring to, was either a single pill of 1g, or the 1g could be made up of 4x250mg pills. I.e.
Avatar f tn Also gave me an antiseptic feminine wash. The lab tests she ordered are gram staining and pap smear. I took the antibiotics while waiting foe the lab results and my next appointment to the doctor. The gram staining showed Negative for Trichomoniasis and Monilia. But says many coccobacilli, few gram positive bacilli with many pus cells and clue cells noted. Pap smear says I have Benign reactive changes (typical repair) and pathologist wrote "Severe acute inflammation".
Avatar m tn about 2 months ago i had an encounter with a csw, portected oral and intercours, a week later and a huge amount of guilt later , i went to the gum clinic where they took a urine sample and done a gram stain test.
Avatar n tn With the recent CDC announcement about gonorrhea and it's resistance to certain antibiotics, i was wondering if one of the dr's could comment on the 'current' efficacy of the 2 gram single dose of azithromycin? Is this still an effective regiment for gonorrhea and / or chlamydia, NGU, etc.? Are there particular cases or reasons for the patients where this treatment has started to fail? Thank you.
Avatar f tn The single dose of medication worked well, but I still had 2 grams of medication left over. It was azithromycin. Anyway, I was worried about my girlfriend. She had no symptoms but then started bleeding after sex.just a little, but it's a symptom.  I am an amoral person and live the life prescribed by stoicism. So, I put one gram into my girlfriends ice cream, and then added a large sugary shot of espresso. The espresso hid the acidic taste of the medication. I consumed the other gram.
Avatar m tn Are you male or female ? A 1 gram dose of azithromycin is effective in treating Chlamydia but may not treat gonorrhea. Wait for your test results. If you are still having symptoms, please go back for a follow up exam.Take care.
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 m tn In a state of panic i decided to do an internet search and gave myself 1 gram of Azithromycin plus i took 500 mg per day for two more days. I did not have any discharge of discoloration of the urethra at this time the entire time. The second day after i had the the first 1gram (after the antibody test) i had a pcr swab done, everything came back negative. Would a pcr test be effected that much by the 1 gram one day after taking it?
Avatar n tn The ciprofloxacin that you took would not be expected to prevent or cure it, perhaps because the medication was so old and certainly because a single doe is not sufficient to cure the infection. In contrast, azithromycin, 1.0 gram as a single dose is highly effective for NGU treatment and should resolve your problem if that is what you had. In answer to your questions: 1. Yes it could. 2. Yes, that it is the correct dose 3.
Dog Azithromcyin prescribed for Chlamydia trachomatis infection can be prescribed as 1 gram as a single dose. I am not familar with a regimen of 500 mg 2x/day for 3 days. For bacterial sinusitis, azithromycin is often prescrubed as 500 mg daily x 3 days. However, doses over 500 mg increase the risk of gastrointestinal side effects like diarrhea and nausea. But high dose regimens like 1 gram (which is 1000 mg) given as a single dose is recommended by the CDC for Chlamydia. Very Respectfully, Dr.

Avatar n tn Right so I was given a 1 gram does of azithromycin at 10.30am and at 4pm had diarrhea, I'm a bit worried this will diminish the effects of the antibiotic?
