cipro

Avatar m tn Penicillin, ampicillin, cefotaxime are a similar drug class Cephaloporins and penicillin type drugs, and levofloxacin and cipro are also in their own drug class (quinolones) while vancomycin is a diffierent drug class.

Avatar f tn There are few drugs you have to be careful or avoided when on methotrexate like antibiotics (penicillin, ciprofloxacin), proton pump inhibitors, pain killers like aspirin, other immunosuppressants. I hope this helped you. Take care and regards.
Avatar m tn I came back to the urologist and showed him the results and he perscribed Cifran - ciprofloxacin. I took that for 10 days as perscribed. During the treatment my pain during urinating almost disappeared, appearing only rarely, but my throat stayed sore. Now 6 and 1/2 weeks post exposure I still have this weak pain while urinating and still sore throat for like now 3-4 weeks. I tested for HIV yesterday and it was negative.
Avatar m tn Penicillin indeed is the treatment of choice, in fact the only recommended treatment. Cefalexin has never been studied against syphilis. It probably would have some activity, but cannot be considered reliable treatment -- and it could screw up further diagnostic testing, for example to judge whether it had actually worked. If you would like to provide more information about your syphilis diagnosis (stage, blood test results, etc) I might have additional thoughts.
4939681 tn?1361299299 Not until 2 weeks after the initial attacks did the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other public health officials make a concerted effort to publicize the efficacy of doxycycline and penicillin and suggest that doxycycline is a better tolerated treatment than ciprofloxacin.
Avatar m tn I have to say I had the same problem with Ciprofloxacin. It made my heart palps worse and also made me seriously dizzy. So much so that when stopping my car and getting out it felt like I was still driving. I took 3 days of a 5 day course and on doctors advice was told to stop. If they offer you Nitrofur-C after that then please be careful as I had a lung reaction to it and couldn't stop coughing.
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 n tn On this forum we try not to second guess health care providers who have the benefit of seeing and examining their patients. That said, ciprofloxacin is frequently used for therapy of food bourne GI tract infections with great success. On the other hand, the drug is not reliably effective for chlamydial infections and the frequency of ciprofloxacin resistant gonorrhea in the US now exceeds 20% making it a poor choice for that process as well.
Avatar f tn Other antibiotics likely to cause seizures are ciprofloxacin, cefdinir, cephalexin, and penicillin (there are others too like metronidazole and TB drug INH etc). Usually taking vitamin B along with antibiotic prevents the likelihood of seizures. Please discuss with your doctor. Take care! The medical advice given should not be considered a substitute for medical care provided by a doctor who can examine you.
Avatar n tn ve been giving myself 600,000 units of Penicillin G Procaine IM suspension for 2 days every 12 hrs.
Avatar f tn STILL i had discharge and stuff that wasnt all right yet so i see my doctor on the day of my last dose for flagyl and i take another urine test and she said she found strep in my urine and she prescribed me this amoxcicillin. I just started the medication today so i can let you know if it clears it up or not!!
Avatar f tn I don't know if I have Trich or not but I was wondering if taking Ciprofloxacin 500mg 2x daily would cure it?
Avatar f tn In New York City, Los Angeles, and points in between, posters appeared stating “Penicillin Cures Gonorrhea in 4 Hours,” sometimes underneath words urging citizens to buy war bonds to “Thrash the Axis.” Just as defeating Hitler and the Japanese emperor had become an all-consuming national priority, health officials, armed with the new miracle drug penicillin, offered hope that the scourge of “VD” could be wiped out, too.
Avatar m tn I read online that the combination of Ciprofloxacin and Azithromycin can be dangerous. Is this still the case, if the last Ciprodose was one week before the 2g Azithromycin dose?
Avatar f tn What are the contraindications of taking penicillin and valacyclovir during the same cycle ? Can they both be taken on the same day ?
Avatar m tn Ciprofloxacin has been linked to rare but occasionally severe and even fatal cases of acute liver injury..... i m not a doctor but this is not assuring, our doctor always used agumentin, check with your doctor if that is suitable for your problem.
Avatar n tn Both prevacid and prilosec have the same actions so they do the same things. The only interaction that I know of with prevacid and penicillin is with a type of penicillin called Ampicillin and it may inhibit the absorption of the prevacid.
Avatar n tn Well with the discharge gone and not returning as of yet (knock on wood) it does mean it is getting better.
Avatar n tn It is statistically very unlikely that any gonorrhea would be resistant to all 3 antibiotics you have received, i.e. cipro, azithromycin, and penicillin. Gonorrhea is no longer a concern. The penicillin definitely will cure syphilis if you were exposed.
Avatar n tn My amoxicillin capsules are made out of yellow food dye. My pharmasit told me that I open the capsule and take just the powder. The problem is the strong taste of the powder makes me gag.what can I do ?

Avatar m tn I have been on Penicillin VK for a few days due to some upcoming dental work. I know that gonhorrea and ngu are the only real (albeit very small) risks, and typically your advice to people is that if they haven't had any symptoms of discharge etc. that you do not recommend testing. Does my Penicillin VK change that advice? I have a "normal" sex partner that I want to keep safe.
Avatar f tn I have body wide stiffness etc; possibly fibro. or lyme - lots of neck pain etc; the couple of times I have taken penicillin for un-related health issues, my other symptoms have much improved!!! just as dlt58 describes.
Avatar f tn I've been on penicillin for a week for a toothache and my pvc's are worse than they've ever been..I called the Dr to request doxycycline as I've taken it before with no issues, but does it work for a tooth Infection? I also have mitral valve prolapse..
