I also took biaxin for a throat problem a week ago. Doc gave me 500mg pills twice a day for 5 days. and I took them for 3 days then stopped for 2 day then finished the last 2 days after cause I found out that I have to do all of them. Would this have cured anyt sti? Sorry for long question doc just want everything answered at once.
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.
facility doctor told me I probably had chronic bronchitis (with some post nasal drip), and prescribed Biaxin 500mg 2x for 10 days. Recently, my physician told me I may have allergies and told me to take Claritin and Albuterol (only been on Claritin intermittently since my breathing is good, despite the sometimes slight wheezing). Cough is sometimes 'dry', and at other times 'productive', but with clear fluid that I usually swallow again.
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!.
Dear Doctor,
I have made 2 mistakes: the first was receiving unprotected oral sex from a CSW (a female, I am male) while intoxicated, the second was trying to self-treat with antibiotics. I took 1.5 g. of Zithromax and began 7 days of Doxy (this was prescribed, for a sinus infection), 2x100mg/day about eight hours after the event.
Next day, in a panic, convinced that 1.5 of zithromax would not be enough, I took 2 g of Biaxin at once. I plan to take 500 mg/day for the next 3 days.
I also was put on an atibiotic in Feb 2009 in Canda where I live it is called Biaxin (2X500mg) a day for 10 days. Now to my questions....
1) I have read from Dr HHH about these infections going away on there own within 3 months. I have also read Dr HOOK say he has seen it last for 3 years?...what is the chance either of these could last 1 year?
2) Although I did a urine test for both infections I have one concern.
On 05/05/08, I took Z-pak, 500Mg of Azithromacin first day, and 250MG for following 4 days for an unrelated sore throte. On 05/20/2008, I started taking Biaxin and Flagyl for 14 days to treat stomach issue. On 05/30/2008, I retested for only Genital herpes and it came back negative. Here are my questions..
1. How accurate was the test done @ about a week and a half after exposure
2. If i did acquire one of the STI's, would the amount of antibiotic I took treat all of them?
3.
Since I have gone back on Biaxin and Tindamax in the last week, I seem to hit a wall around 3pm and I can't keep my eyes open. I have taken an afternoon nap about 4 days out of 7. I am a terrible napper and rarely ever nap, even when I was at my sickest with Lyme. I guess it could be herxing from the meds, but I haven't had this in the past. I am wondering if these two drugs are particularly targeting cysts and spiros in my brain.
Third, visit your primary care doctor or your local health department STD clinic for STD testing. A urine test for gonorrhea and chlamydia can be done at any time -- these tests are accurate any time more than 3-4 days after exposure. However, blood tests for HIV and syphilis should be delayed until about 6 weeks. (Perhaps your partner will accompany you, to get tested together.)
In the meantime, stay mellow.
My doc perscribed Biaxin xl 2x 500 and prednisone 50mg 4 days if needed. Last night I was so bad I took the pred at 8pm. This morning I took the biaxin at 6am.
It's been about 8 hours and my heart has sped up from about 70 to 85-90 for about an hour and won't come down.
I'm afraid to take my next dose of prednisone but I've been on short bursts before with no issue.
Is a resting heart rate around 90 something to be worried about?
I was on Biaxin, which is brand name for clarithromycin. Why did your MD not check the box for generic, which is generally a lot cheaper but is technically the same drug? It's a fairly common drug.
If you order online from a reputable/well-known website, you may be able to get a better price than at the corner pharmacy.
If you belong to WalMart or perhaps Target or similar stores, I understand their pharmacy charges are quite reasonable.
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.

Masturbated male till finish. Came in my hand. Washed his member off with water. Gave unprotected oral for approx 4 to 5 min with deep throating. This was my first time so there was a lot of gagging. He did not give me oral. We mentioned STD's. He said he was clean. My symptoms consist of sore throat, dry mouth, dry tongue, what I feel to be white tongue and sore left side of neck, possibly lympnode. Throat always feels dry yet I have thick flem if I cough. Left ear also hurts.
On two of those days I took 2 pills, i.e. 1g, taken at once. Two days after starting the Biaxin I was prescribed doxycycline, 2g total taken over the course of 7 days.
On day 8 after swimming I noticed what looked like a skin fold on the end of my penis next to the urethral opening (about 1/8 inch). Unsure whether this was something normal for my penis or not, I have been observing it since. It is not an open sore or a blister, it is not red, and it is painless.
I am a man. Next day, having been prescribed Biaxin for bronchitis, I took four 500 mg pills at once. I know this was foolish, but I had panicked.
5 days later I developed an infected ingrown hair at the base of my penis. I am over forty, and I believe I know an ingrown hair when I see one - when I take Biaxin I get them all over my legs.
Next day, the bump had not opened up into an ulcer. I saw a hair growing out of the middle of it, and squeezed the bump.
Yes, oral sex is safe sex with respect to STDs -- very low risk for some and zero for others. Chlamydia is not a possibility, since oral chlamydia is rare -- thus no transmission by oral sex. Gonorrhea would have caused obvious symptoms -- and in any case it goes away within 3 months, without treatment. Finally, clarithromycin (Biaxin) would have cured either of these. To the specific questions:
1) Yes. You didn't catch anything.
2) Yes; see above.
