Avatar n tn You have been tested not only for the most common bacteria associated with urethral infection (gonorrhea and chlamydia) and found to have negative tests, you have had your genital secretions examined for white blood cells (NGU or NSU, the terms are synonymous) and you have received azithromycin in a dose which would cure NGU, chlamydia and the majority of gonorrhea infections.
Avatar f tn This is from wikipedia "Azithromycin is used to treat certain bacterial infections, most often those causing middle ear infections, tonsillitis, throat infections, laryngitis, bronchitis, pneumonia and sinusitis. It is also effective against certain sexually transmitted infectious diseases, such as non-gonococcal urethritis and cervicitis." So I have not heard it treating mono but it does treat some infections. NGU is an STD but a bump on his penis is not a symptom of NGU.
706949 tn?1228923298 I take it your reference article is in Wikipedia. From what I've seen there on heart subjects there is a lot of "good stuff", or so it appears. I understand too that some (much?) of what's there is from voluntary contirbuitons. That said, I recommend you discuss with the prescribing doctor and let s/he know you've see such-and-such as a point-of-reference ... it may even be a good idea to print out the material and take it with you.
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.
475555 tn?1469304339 On the Olysio PI it says to avoid taking Erythromycin and derivatives. Azithromycin, which is what I normally take during dental work, is made from Erithromycicn, according to Wikipedia, so I probably shouldn't take it. But I've have trouble (serious gastrointestinal problems) with the alternative antibiotic, Amixicillin. Does anyone here know about this stuff. like what antibiotics it would be safe to take? This is a serious and urgent problem for me.
Avatar m tn If you had gotten gonorrhea or NGU you would have most likely developed symptoms of urethritis (penile infection) and the symptoms you describe while possibly consistent with prostatitis or the recently described chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS- described in Wikipedia) are not suggestive of STD. Even if your partner had an STD (any STD and it is likely she did not), most exposures do not lead to infection.
Avatar m tn Out of anxiety, I took 1gram of Azithromycin. The following days, the ache was on/off mostly in the right testicle and now it is in the left. In between, I visited a urologist who examined my testicles, took a CBC and ultrasound. He said it is fine except that it could be the start of hernia. I do have a slight bulge on the right of the groin near the waistline.
Avatar m tn CPPS is a possibility (if you have not, take a look at the write-up on Wikipedia, it is quite good) and for better or worse, CPPS is not associated with STI, does not respond to STI therapy, and is not associated with harm to sexual partners. it may linger however. My advice is as follows- I see little potential benefit for you from further testing for STIs, or to occur with further treatment of any sort.
1692704 tn?1307211780 My Azithromycin makes me very nauseated when I take it. I do take it along with food, but this doesn't always help. Anyone ever experience this with an antibiotic and if so, any suggestions to alleviate it??
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 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 have been taking Azithromycin for 4 days. I have gotten worse. Still have fever and have developed nasal congestion with yellow discharge. ENT gave me Spectracef. I read that Spectracef does not treat mychoplasma. So, is there an antibiotic that would treat both mychoplasma AND sinusitis incase I have one or both?
Avatar n tn I was prescribed 1g of azithromycin 3 weeka ago in the UK for chlamydia. Unfortunately from a bad reaction I had to a medicine years ago, I have a phobia of tablets, so I crushed the azithromycin, mixed it with water, waited for it to dissolve (about 2 hours), and drank it (very foul bitter taste). After 3 weeks, my chlamydia is back, exactly the same stomach cramps, and discharge (I'm female).
Avatar n tn They gave me 250mg of Azithromycin and a dose of Suprax, which I took the next day. My symptoms started to clear up within a few days. A week later, I found out that all 3 tests had come back negative. While I was a bit surprised, my symptoms were gone, so I figured I was ok. 3-4 weeks ago (mid-March) I started having some dull pain in my left testicle. It almost felt like I had been kicked in the balls. The pain got pretty bad, so I went to get checked out.
Avatar m tn We we both prescribed 1000mg of azithromycin, 4 bills at 250mg. After 7 days of taking the medication we engaged in protected vaginal sex (condom). About 2 weeks later we performed unprotected oral sex (both of us giving and receiving) and continued with protected vaginal sex. 4 weeks after taking azithromycin I got re-tested for chlamydia which my results came back as negative. Her's came back as positive. How common is it for 1000mg azithromycin not to be effective for clamydia?
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 m tn I took azithromycin single dose of 1g yesterday for diagnosed Chlamydia. Would it hurt me to take a 2g does the following day to cover the possibility of gonnorhea? It wasnt diagnosed but since I have the medicine here, I wanted to take it to really cover my bases but didnt want to overdose or anything. I wish I would have just taken a single 2g dose the first day.
