Azithromycin zithromax z-pack
Common Questions and Answers about Azithromycin zithromax z-pack
zithromax
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.
I was also just taking a 5 day dose pack of azithromycin for a sinus infection. I started having heart palpatations as well. I have tachycardia anyways so I didn't really associate it with the medicine. It really started worrying me when my left arm started feeling weak and tingling. This usually also happens when I have an SVT attack but it goes away quickly. This tingling lasted all day. My heart palpatations were more frequent as well.
Unprotected penile/vaginal intercourse for less than 5 minutes total...no ejaculation. I took a 500 mg of a z-pack that day and followed it with 1.25 gms of zithromax the following day. Talked to her, she's never tested positive or been treated for an STD. I'd like to think my chances are slim but mentally I am a wreck. Both swore never to tell our spouses as we both realize it was a gross error in judgement but would hate for my wife to find out by testing positive down the line.
I see a lot of people asking about z pack curing chlamydia/gonorrhea and the common response is “It has to be 1g at once to work.” I’m confused by this. 1 g is 1,500mg. The typical z pack is 1,500mg total over the course of 5 days. 500mg on day one and then 250mg the next four days. So my question is, why would it HAVE to be 1,000mg of z pack at once to work rather than also 1,500 over 5 days?
I have been on Azithromycin (Z-pack) for 2 days and have a blood test schedule for Monday, so day 3 of a Z-pack?
Do you know if the antibiotics could mask or alter the test in a good/bad/neutral way?
I took her to the clinic to get tested and they ruled out BV even thought her family doctor assumed it was that. They insist that she has chlamydia and she gave it to me. They gave her a Z pack as well. Im just worried because i took my z pack on tuesday and im still having discharge. I drank a beer or 2 with my z pack later in the evening because i didn't know i could take alcohol with them. Now i'm wondering if the z pack didn't fully work on me.
Was prescribed a Z Pack taken in the 500mg first day followed by one 250 a day for respritory issue. NO change in penial symptoms. Along Ive had diarhhea for four months since this began. Never any discharge except a miniscule amount of clear one time. After a while the penile symptoms subcided. Went to doctor for the urine and diarrhea. He ran stool and urine sample which were ok. My question:
1 is are these typical urethritis symptoms?
I was diagnosed with walking pneumonia two weeks ago. I was given Z Pack. I took it. It seemed to work for a couple of days then the symptoms returned. Doctor gave me another Z Pack. Same thing. It worked for a couple of days and then the mychoplasma returned.
Question 1: Why did Z pack not get rid of it?
Question 2: I'm on Doxycycline now. Will that get rid of it?
I'm terrified to even get out of bed for fear that I will relapse again. I want my life back. Please help.
I was very sick in December and was prescribed a five day dose of azithromycin in the form of a Z-Pack. I was recently told by someone I had sex with that they tested positive for gonorrhea. I have had no symptoms and it has been over two months now. Is there a possibility that the Z-pack effectively treated the gonohrrea?
I am starting to get anxious about this because I thought by now the symptoms would have been cleared. Wednesday, my doctor prescribed me a zithromax z pack just as a precaution. Should I still be concerned? I am really not sure why I would still be having symptoms. Any help and insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for all you do.
you could have easily had bronchitis which can cause purulent sputum (lime colored goo) as well...As caregiver said, Zithromax or the Z pack, is usually a good med for bacterial infections. If you find that your symptoms are getting worse despite therapy (such as increased sputum production, recurrent fevers, difficulty breathing, pain etc.), then I suggest you go back to the doctor for re examination, further testing if necessary, switching or addition of meds etc...
0 gram dose of azithromycin or doxycycline, 100 mg orally, twice daily for 7 days. The Z-pack is the right drug but may not be the right dose. My advice would be to go get checked for gonorrhea and NGU. After that, therapy with doxycycline, given your modest response to azithromycin might be the way to go.
I hope this helps.
I am currently on a course of zithromax (a z-pack) for unrelated issues; if, hypothetically, I had contracted an STD (I'm thinking mainly NGU, Gonorrhea or Syphillis here), would this have wiped it out? I don't know whether zithromax targets these pathogens or not.
2. After having posted in my earlier thread I started to see some symptoms - raised red bumps on the tip and shaft of my penis.
The first time was the week of 6-21, when I had a wisdom tooth removed and the Dentist perscribed a Z-pack which entailed that I take 2 pills the first day and 1 pill the remaining four and the other time was on July21st, after our last encounter I developed pain and a stinging sensation on the right side of my penis.
I was diagnosed as positive for chlamydia but negative for gonorrhea on 7/17, did six days of doxicyclene starting 7/17, then a single dose of both azithromycin and metrodinazole around 7/23.) As of Sunday, I was still having occasional pain, so I started the Z-Pack on 8/2. Things seemed to be better until last night, 8/4, when I noticed evidence of a small amount of dried discharge in my black briefs.
Or, is it pointless to take a 3-5 day course of Z-Pack now since I already took the 1g of Azithromycin approx 11 days ago?
Please help!! Any advice is extremely appreciated!!
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.
There is a fair amount of resistance to Azithromycin (Z-pack) secondary to its popularity among providers...
I have been to two optometrist and both prescribed me Z-pack because they believed it to be Chlamydia related. making a really really ....really long story short i have not taken either prescribed Z- pack antibiotics. I have been taking the precribed antibiotics my Primary Doc has given me but it wasnt Z- pack...this is such a long story and there is so much i want to tell and ask you but in short.
Does Chlamydia affect or infect the eye causing redeness?
