It says - Sensitive to Ciprofloxacin, Clindamycin, Erythroimcin, Gentamicin, Oxacillin, Penicillin, Tetracycline, Trimethoprim / sulfa. Does that mean that those antibiotics will be best to use against this bacteria? Because seems like that Ciprofloxacin didn't help me. I think I am going to another doctor tommorow..
s the beginging of a urinary tract infection and put me on some sulfa antibiotics. Since then I still have the occasional back pain and the the abdominal pain is always under the right and left rib cage. Those pains have not improved since i have started the antibiotics and I am now on day 4. I have also experienced sharp pelvic pain the past few days just above my pubic bone. Oh ya, and heartburn. I don't know how I forgot to mention that one.
I am really allergic to all sulfa, sulfate, sulfites. I need to get off of these as much as possible and it is in everything! Food, meds, and other various things. Anyone have a website that could help me with this or other that resources?
I don't know if I have Trich or not but I was wondering if taking Ciprofloxacin 500mg 2x daily would cure it?
Also, are you sure you are on trimethoprim alone? Most of the time that drug is used in combination with a sulfa drug called sulfamethoxazole; the most common trade names for the combination of trimethoprim/sulfa are Septra or Bactrim. If you took that combination, then the drug will not only interfere with testing, but likely would cure gonorrhea or chlamydia. So if your STD tests are negative now, it still might be possible you were infected earlier.
If I am allergic to tetracycline, a sulfa drug, would I be allergic to diamox, another sulfa drug?

My big concern is that I was diagnosed with a Sulfa allergy as a child when a Sulfa Based Opthalmic Ointment was used to treat an eye infection and I broke out in hives after using the drug. My daughter used Sulfa Antibiotics to treat a UTI and over the course of a week her face swelled up. The pharmacist had mentioned taking the medication and trying benadryl and if I have a reaction to seek medical treatment immediately.
Yesterday I received a Lipo-Plex injection (B12 with Lipotropics) that contains Methionine a sulfur containing amino acid. I have a Sulfa allergy (normally get an extremely high fever). Should I be worried? I haven't had any side effects. Feeling a little flushed (hot) but that is about it. Otherwise I feel great. Can I continue with these shots? Thanks!
I asked my doctor to add HCT, however, because I developed a rash from taking a sulfa antiobiotic 10 years ago, he doesn't want to take the chance. So he put me back on Lotrel along with the Valturna. He said as my BP comes down, he'll adjust the meds. My questions are: (1) I've read that having a rash deveop from a sulfa antiobiotic doesn't necessary mean I'll have an allergic reaction to HCT. Is it safe to try the diuretic to see what happens?

My sister has an Allergic reaction to anything that contains Sulfa. My question is can she use product that contains Sulfur, or will she break out from using it..
My 24 year old daughter was just diagnosed with Grave's Disease. The doctor was going to give her Tapazole until he found out she was allergic to sulpha. But I looked it up and it says people who are allergic to sulpha can safely take Tapazole. It's all in the way the chain of chemicals are structured. It says the chain contains sulfur dioxide and nitrogen attached to a benzene ring.
I get itchy spots on my jawline from touching my face and they clear up very quickly with Gold Bond Powder. I also will get one 'hive' if elastic is rubbing on my skin or a tag on a shirt is hard or poking me. I have anxiety quite bad at times and take Klonopin for that. Yesterday only took it at 6 a.m. until I panicked after reading about Klebsiella.
Yesterday my urine culture came back with a small amount of Klebsiella and doctor ordered Cipro. I'm allergic to Sulfa drugs.
I have been searching for other antibiotic alternatives, the last time I needed one was 10 yrs ago when I had a sever reaction to sulfa. I have suffered through colds and illnesses without treatment since then but now I'm very very ill. Does anyone know of any options?
The times I went to the hospital in the past I was turned away pretty much, telling me they couldnt help me!
Are you, by any chance, allergic to sulfa drugs? My sister had a similar reaction to hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ), and the doctor said it was because she was allergic to sulfa. My sister had not put her sulfa allergy on her medical history form at the cardiologist's office, because the sulfa reaction had been so long ago. When the doctor prescribed HCTZ, which evidently has sulfa in it, my sister reacted to that.
I was diagnosed with a sulfa allergy as a child and haven't had any problems since as my doctors know of this allergy when prescribing medication. However, due to the geothermal activity and potential exposure to sulphur related gases/water, I wanted to know if travelling to Iceland would pose any health risks. I know that sulfa and sulphur are related but not the same but I am still concerned that I might be exposed to problems when inhaling gases or drinking water.
During this time I have also developed Psoriatic Arthritis and have been put on a Sulfa Drug. They have been monitoring my blood work up close for the past 3 months and have noted that my white cell count is low most of the time. The highest it has been in these past months is the bottom end of normal, but lingering around 3.0. Also, my red cell count is down a bit too around 3.8.
Sulfa drugs were commonly used against Gonorrhea and Chlamydia in the 30's and 40's and still remain effective against Chlamydia....not so much against Gonorrhea. However, resistance to sulfa drugs has steadily increased and typically treatment for one includes treatment for the other.. and today Chlamydia is usually treated with doxycycline.
He placed me on Bactrim, for a month, however i had to stop taking them after around 1 n 1/2week due to a reaction to sulfa where my entire body would feel itchy and i developed rashes, night sweats and a swollen lymph nodes in my neck which he states were caused by an allergic reaction to sulfa in the Bactrim. After i had stop taking the bactrim symptoms went away immediately and i felt okay until a week or 2 after. I had the worst experience of my life.
Now its inflamed went to a clinic they said to just heat compress it then wet to my PCP who game me SULFA and some pain killers told me also to heat compress it...now it is no longer HOT it was a HOT spot but now it looks PURPLE. Still hurts looks scabbie but have not noticed any drainage any advice?

It is difficult to say if they are due to the underlying disease or due to ciprofloxacin. You should consult your doctor for a complete evaluation and diagnosis.
