I'm not medically trained, so all this is guess work about what approach I would take if I were going through what you are -- From what I understand, there is usually not much difference in the body's reaction to generic vs brand name meds, such as Biaxin/clarithromycin, but there are some instances when it can occur because of tiny differences between the specific chemical structure of the two medications.
Avatar f tn About 3 weeks or so after stopping antibiotics (Amoxicillin and Biaxin) I developed a flat, red, and sometimes itchy rash on both breasts and my stomach. Sometimes I get shooting pains in my breasts. It has not spread from these areas. I thought it could be a yeast infection, so I started applying Lotrimin cream. I've used it for 7 days and the rash isn't any better. Does this sound like it could be a yeast infection? Does the cream need longer to work?
Avatar f tn I purchased a probiotic but didnt take it till after the 3rd day of medication and the damage was done already. I got a yeast infection and I have had one before due to antibiotics so I knew what it was. On Saturday the doctor prescribed me biaxin, a different antibiotic, and one dose of fluconazole 150mg. I am still taking the antibiotic for another week.
Avatar m tn Also should add, treated with Cipro 500mg for 10 days and Biaxin 500mg for 21 days for sinus infection, during the time frame of possible std infection....would this cause a delay or would it actually cure the std infection, if there was one to begin with?
Avatar m tn If I was infected with any of the above, would an 8 day course of Biaxin resolved these? And yes it was 8 days and not the usual 10 for whatever reason. 2. I've read on this site that most of these STD's resolve themselves within a few months even without treatment, but other medical and government websites specifically say the exact opposite and say only way to get rid of infection is to seek treatment. Which is it?
Avatar n tn He said I still had a yeast infection and gave me more medicine. My symptoms never went completely away and now I have some burning again. I have had no bumps but I have one spot that is still red and irritated. Could this be herpes or some other infection? Is this too long a timeline?
Avatar n tn For the past week I have been taking an antibiotic called Biaxin (for a sinus infection) which I know can trigger yeast infections. I have had yeast infections before and some have been frightening and painful, but this feels a bit different.... There is no itchiness or discharge, but I have some redness and some concentrated red sores. There is also some pinching feeling on the skin. Does this sound like a herpes outbreak? Should I start taking my acyclovir?
Avatar m tn I was taking Biaxin 500mg twice a day for a week and then took the rpr two days later. could this affect the results in any way?
Avatar n tn May I also ask what length of time would I take the Biaxin? And is there any home treatment, Like garlic pills etc. that would help augment healing? ( since Biaxin is not considered the best treatment.) Although I'm stuck with that. And frankly, I was on the Clindamycin for weeks and that didn't get rid of the infection, so maybe a broad spectrum antibiotic will work for me. I sure hope so. thank you again for your advice.
Avatar f tn ) If it was for a kidney or suspected gut infection (based on pain and an elevated white blood cell count) you may have a kidney stone...A yeast infection will usually have a white/yellow vaginal discharge and often itches and burns as it advances...I hope this helps more. Still, get a UA and let the Dr know what is going on...Best of health...
Avatar n tn I was on antibiotics a(biaxin 4 days switched to erythromycin 250mgs 4 x day) and using chlorhehydine mouthwash several times a day (for about 4-5 days). My question is that I have had the most annoying tongue issue for about 5 days now. It seems like it's "furry" and white. It's driving me crazy! Is this due the disturbance of the flora in my mouth???? How do I get rid of it?? Please HELP!! Thank you!!
Avatar n tn Well, then I start some itching and burning which suggested to me a yeast infection. I took a Diflucan and inserted some miconazole that night. When I woke up, I founds some small bumps on the inside of my vagina kinda on the labia. I applied some more cream to the area and as the day went on, it felt as if my vagina was on fire. It was red and inflammed and a small red lump appeared. I went to my gyne the next day and he said everything looked normal and that I had a yeast infection.
Avatar f tn 4 days ago, my vagina began to itch. I took yeast infection pill and applied cream. Yesterday I noticed that I have what seems like a paper cut on my labia. Painful to touch and very itchy. It hurt to pee only yesterday but not today. I have never been tested for herpes. Could this be herpes? I also was on biaxin for broncitis for 10 days. Could it just be a bad yeast? I don't have unusual dischange. I also got my period today. Which is why I think it's herpes.
Avatar f tn ) I put myself on a yeast-free, sugar-free and grains-free diet 3 months ago -- I got a yeast infection that was giving me serious bloating and brain fog. It just seemed like Lyme, but it was yeast. It was a little hard the first couple of days, but I've adjusted to it very well. Did your dr say why s/he put you on that diet?
Avatar n tn I had 2 women perform oral sex on me and about 2-3 months later I had a chest cold and my doctor gave me biaxin 2x500mg a day for 10 days. then a few months later had amoxicillian 3x500mg a day for 10 days for another unrelated infection (my docs loves to give antibiotics) If I did get a std like gonnerea or clymidia or anything else that is bacterial would the biaxin get rid of it?...keep in mind I have had no unprotested sexual intercourse just received oral from a women.
Avatar f tn Last week I was diagnosed with a duodenal ulcer and am taking Amoxicillin, Biaxin and Prevacid. I am one week into treatment and feel only marginally better. My question is about stomach tenderness. Is a tender stomach normal with a peptic ulcer? My entire stomach area, from just below my breasts, down to my navel, is very tender to the touch. When touched it produces like a burning/stinging/bruised feeling. Depending on the day, or time of the day, the pain is greater or less.
Avatar m tn About 2-3 days after that, I had a nurse look at my throat which was very sore at that point and she told me that I had a serious infection and to have a strep test immediately. I went to the doctor and both the strep and mono tests came back negative. I only had a sore throat, the infection in my throat (white spots and pus pockets), tiredness (which I just thought was being tired) and an achy body (which I attributed to working out).
Avatar n tn just one last point, the biaxin and amoxicilian were taken at different times around 2-3 months apart. Biaxin was for a Resp infection and the amoxicilian was for my saliva gland issue. These all have been taken throughtout the last year since exposure. Would Biaxin or amoxicial cure syphlis by themselves?. no more questions from me so I would like to thank you for your time!.
Avatar f tn ve been taking the medicine for at least 10 or 11 days at 1000 milgrams of each both biaxin and flagyl daily..and should have stop taking them along time ago ..is this common?
Avatar f tn So in my anxious state, I thought it best to be proactive and see if I could prevent any full infection from developing. I took 1500mg of Clarithromycin ER, and 1875mg of Amoxicillin that night. The following morning took another 1gm of the Niacin ER & 1375mg of Amoxicillin.
Avatar f tn ) I had to hold off on the Biaxin until I took 10 days of Diflucan for my yeast problem. Then, I took Biaxin for a few days (and felt crummy) and then the yeast problems came back. So, I'm off Biaxin until the 2nd round of Diflucan is done (10 days). I am not looking forward to going back on the Biaxin as that will happen at the same time I cycle back on to the Tindamax. I will probably need to write off several days until I acclimate to these two drugs again.
Avatar m tn I saw my dermatologist who said there was a slight odor and believed it was a yeast infection. He gave me anti fungal cream. I have recently relocated and unable to see him again until Jan 2011. 18 months later, the anal region is still discolored, with the opening of the anus is red at times. I use hydrocortisone & Vitamin A&D ointments which seems to sooth the redness and dull the irritation.
Avatar m tn I have a bunch of symptoms that im afraid may indicate something serious. blotchy rash on my neck, chest palms and groin; loss of sensation and discoloration of my penis; cold sweats; constipation and difficulty urinating w no pain involved. I've had a sinus infection and ear infection for sometime now but just started taking biaxin yesterday. Not much improvement..could I have some kidney or liver issues due to years of cocaine abuse?
Avatar f tn I do not have a lyme dx but I am working with my neurologist on it...I am also looking for an LLMD in my area. I am sure that I will have no trouble finding one near Philadelphia. I have a question about antibiotics. Since 2001, I have what I thought was an allergy to Cipro. Took it for an upper respitory infection for 3 days and had terrible problems. The Dr then gave me Levaquin, took for 7 days, with the same side effects.
Avatar n tn I have read lots of your post concerning biaxin and azithromycin and whether they cure syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia and NGU. I have found that biaxin is chemically different than azithromycin but biologically same at killing bacteria as azithromycin. On some post you say that azithromycin or clarithromycin(biaxin) would cure all the bacterial stds then in others you state that there could be some problems. by H. Hunter Handsfield, M.D.
Avatar n tn I am 3 months pregnant and am prone to sinus infections and it seems the only antibiotic that works for me is biaxin. I have a sinus infection now, is it safe to take biaxin 2 pills together for ten days?
