Common Questions and Answers about Azithromycin in canada

zithromax

Avatar f tn so my boyfriend and i have been diagnosed with oral gonorrhea, and are for various reasons unable to take the intra-muscular shot, and so we have been recommended to take 800mg cefixime + 1g azithromycin (standard alternative in Canada) PLUS an additional 1g azithromycin because 2g azithromycin is relatively effective against oral gonorrhea. has anyone heard of this alternative oral treatment for oral gonorrhea? is it likely to be effective?
1067297 tn?1255030564 Z-Pak is a newer protocol docs are using (well at least up here in canada, everyone knows how ignorant the canadian health care system is towrd lyme).. good luck!
Avatar n tn My encounter happened in Calgary Canada - does anyone know if this makes my chances of contracting this higher? I can not find any statistics for this area.
Avatar m tn 3 months ago I had unprotected sex with a girl who had chlamydia( tested negative for everything else). I went to a walk in clinic and I was first treated with a small dose of azithromycin (2 pills). This treatment completely failed and my symptoms persisted. I tested positive for chlamydia again 3 weeks later this time a different doctor treated me with a larger dose of azithromycine (4 pills). my symptoms stoped for 5 days but came back.
Avatar f tn 7 million people, 35K people had gonorrhea. That means .08% of people had gonorrhea in Canada in 2021. Chances are excellent that your partner - a female in her 40s with 2 partners in 10 years - didn't. It's also less likely for men to get it from women. You went outside your relationship. That's something you'll have to deal with. Your catastrophic thinking is something else you'll have to deal with, too.
Avatar n tn oo no i live in canada but i specificalluy remember the doctor tellin me that he giving me two medications to fight both gonorrhea and chlamydia sicne they both accompnay one another
Avatar m tn I did call the local healthcare hotline here in my province in Canada. The registered nurse I spoke with said that if the medication had been in my system for an hour or more then that was sufficient. However, I would really appreciate a second opinion. Thanks!
Avatar f tn Also, when a treatment gets approved in the States, it takes some time for it to be approved in Canada as we are behind the U.S.
Avatar f tn Does anyone have any names of docs in Canada who deal with AD. We were vacationing in Australia, both got bit by jellyfish. I had AD for 3 months and it went away. He still has it after 2 years. He was healthy, young 35 yr old with no health issues. It's crazy, I could make a movie out of our experience. Any help is appreciated.
Avatar n tn Hi Doctors, a brief synopsis of my situation: early 40's woman, no prior health concerns at all. Early December entered into a new relationship after many, many years with the same person. Unprotected sex on December 9th. By December 13 was experiencing what I thought was perhaps a yeast infection or something. Main symptoms at that time was discharge. (normally have none to speak of). Treated with diflucan; no change. Approx.
Avatar m tn Possibilities include non-STD urinary tract infection (rare), prostate problems, and anxiety, which can magnify otherwise trivial or even normal body sensations that would not otherwise be noticed or a cause for worry. If it persists, get professionally evaluated. I still would have recommended against both azithromycin treatments, but that's water under the bridge so no point in worrying about it now. Thanks for the thanks. I'm glad to have helped.
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 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 n tn today, i had a severe pain on the left side of my chest. like in my left breast, extending towards the side and back. it's constant pain and i feel like vomiting a bit because of that pain. it got so severe that i had to lie down and then it felt a bit better but it's still throbbing. i recently got put on antibiotics (azithromycin) for a throat infection, but these pains are not a side effect.
Avatar m tn and also probably can recommend someone good in the private sector, such as an ID doc with substantial STD experience. Also, there are world class STD experts in eastern Canada, e.g. at the University of Montreal.
Avatar m tn Azithromycin is thought to be highly effective for treatment of chlamydial infection although one recent report has suggested that the treatment failure rate may be increasing slightly (despite this, the vast majority of chlamydial infections will still be successfully treated with azithromycin).
Avatar n tn I had a slight clear discharge last month, about 12 days after an unprotected sexual encounter (hetero) in Canada. I called my long time doctor describing symptoms and he prescribed for me azithromycin 1 gram orally. I took that but still had symptoms of clear discharge a few days later. I next went in and was given a urine test for all sorts of infections that i can't even name and that showed negative for everything. I was also given a swab test for Chlamydia and Gonnorhea specifically.
