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.
As fas as I know, nexium (esomeprazole) only interferes with biaxin (clarithromycin). It heightens the amount of esomeprazole by inhibiting the degradation of esomeprazole. Macrobid is nitrofurantoin, not clarithromycin. You may also look here: http://www.ehealthme.com/drug_interactions_side_effects/Nexium-2792078.
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.
So, had brief encounter with sex worker. I am a male and she a female, just for clarity and accuracy of response though I'm confident that this is irrelevant. In any case, I received oral sex lasting only a couple minutes then shortly after completed with handjob. Anyway, that night I had extreme regrets as this not something I regularly do, only once before. So in my anxious state, I thought it best to be proactive and see if I could prevent any full infection from developing.
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.

Directly to your questions:
1) Both azithromycin and penicillin are 100% effective in curing incubating syphilis.
Other options include cephalosporins such as cefpodoxime proxetil (Vantin) and cefuroxime (Ceftin). In patients allergic to beta-lactams, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim), clarithromycin (Biaxin), and azithromycin. So, if you are allergic to the penicillin group your doctor could have prescribed Bactrim for you. Regards.
First, I believe heterosexually transmitted syphilis is uncommon in Germany. Second, although oral sex can transmit syphilis, it is rare. Third, your skin problems don't sound at all like syphilis. Finally, clarithromycin (Biaxin) usually would prevent or abort syphilis if exposed and for sure doxycycline would do so. Therefore, there is no chance you have syphilis at this time. No risk at all and no point in being tested for it.
I hope this has helped. Take care and stay safe.
Welcome to the Forum. I'll be pleased to comment. Biaxin (clarithromycin) is an antibiotic related to azithromycin which is widely used to treat STIs however biaxin is not well studies for STI treatment or prevention. As a result, while it is likely that biaxin may be effective against common bacterial STIs, there are not good data to say this with confidence. Most women do not have STIS and it is unlikely that your partner had and STI or if she did, you may not have acquired one.
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?
your penis -- which you would not have missed). But in any case, if you caught it the clarithromycin (Biaxin) and amoxicillin would have cured it.
2) No. Chlamdyia was no risk at all (it isn't acquired by oral sex and the vaginal was protected) and gonorrhea, which can be acquired by oral sex, almost always causes symptoms and in any case would have been cured by the antibiotics you have taken.
You didn't catch anything.
Clarithromycin (Biaxin in the US) is chemically similar to azithromycin (Zithromax), one of the standard drugs for several STDs. Although it has not been studied extensively against STDs, it undoubtedly is effective in either treating or preventing all the infections that respond to azithromycin. In the dose you were give, you were protected from chlamydia, nongonococcal urethritis (NGU), gonorrhea, and probably syphilis.
Some of the treatment regimens use a medication called metronidazole (Flagyl) or clarithromycin (Biaxin). These medications can cause a metallic taste in the mouth. You will need to consult a gastroenterologist for adequate therapy. Regards.
Well this is what's weird about it: The lesions come and go. The drug is Biaxin XL. I've taken plain Biaxin before at least twice, but not this XL formulation. I've been wondering if maybe I'm allergic to some other part of the pill that's not the drug.
allmy dr told me was that certin quinolones do give false positives. my med was biaxin xl 500mg. but that was all he would tell me. he seemed to be really busy. now i need to find out if that is one of the 13 quinolones. if you can assist me further please do so. or advize me where to search.
thanks .
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.
This is a strong antibiotic so read up on all side effects.
I can tell you one of the side effects is nightmares so don't take
this med when going to sleep. And it's alway good to take some
probiotics when taking antibiotic.
Taking Cleritin:
This will help clear up the inflamation and swelling.
and if so if you have it in your bum or throat will it go to your penis on its own,, (can it translocate in the body by itself) is it possible to get infected by a condom covered toy? does 1 cipro xl 500 mg cure gonorrhea?, does 1 clarithromycin 500mg, cure chlamydia?
worse yesterday i noticed a small white patch on my tonsils which went away but reappeared on the back of my throat today; in the crevice that conects my nasal passage to my mouth:
what are the chances its hiv i know oral thrush is pretty unique as far as symptoms go: if it was an infection why didnt the antibiotics clear it up
i tested negative a few days shy of the 'week mark
the worst part is that i recently started a study abroad program in paris and this is ruining my trip.
