clarithromycin and mucinex

I took 1500mg of Clarithromycin ER, and 1875mg of Amoxicillin that night. The following morning took another 1gm of the Clarithromycin ER & 1375mg of Amoxicillin. Still on Day 2 (only 24 post exposure) took 500mg Clarithromycin ER. The next day, today took Amoxicillin 500mg & Clarithromycin ER 500mg & Ceftiaxone 1gm IV (prefer not to explain but I am in healthcare).

But here is my question. I ended up with a respiratory infection and the Doc gave me Clarithromycin, I have to take 2X 500mg a day for ten days. I started the medication the day of the sexual encounter. Will Clarithromycin help clear up any of the STD's that I might have caught during the act? There is not too much info on Clarithromycin and STD's out there. I know one thing it is sure working on my respiratory infection big time. Thanks for your responses!

Clarithromycin isn't the treatment of choice for any STD. However, it would effectively prevent most cases of gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, or nongonococcal urethritis (NGU). But not all. Antibiotics, including clarithromycin, have no effect on viruses and therefore cannot prevent herpes, HPV, or HIV.

He had some left over clarithromycin 500 mg about 10 days worth and he began taking that. I told him he should just get tested but he dosent have insurance currently and is unemployed. He said even if I have an std clarithromycin should clear it up its a very strong anti-bacterial antibiotic. Is this true?

What is this about Mucinex and Robitussin? I have heard something about Robitussin, but paid absolutely no attention because it was several years ago. Could you explain it to me? I took yet ANOTHER Neg. test this morning....

Not sure where the rest of post is. Day 2 - 500mg Clarithromycin & Amox 875mg that night. This morning took 500mg of both Clarithromycin & Amox, and Ceftiaxone 1gm IV. I am aware of CDC guidelines and think that this single dose of rocephin & a total of 5gm of Biaxin over 4-5 days (in place of Azithromycin) should be effective? How long should I wait to engage in intercourse with my significant other?

Hi my name is jennifer I been taking antibiotics for the past 2 weeks, Omeprazole 20 mg, Metronidazole 500 mg and Clarithromycin 500 mg and also I been taking my birth control pills for the past 3 weeks (Jolivette). I jus found out today I am pregnant. I'm concer with the health of the unborn baby. I am worry if the any possibility of births defects and any other problem related to the medications.

ll just call and ask the Doctor to call me and ask her directly!

She said it was not possible oral swab to be done at that clinic (just genital). She decided to start a treatment (clarithromycin and ceftriaxone) for gonorrhea (without testing and diagnosis). I hope it works if I have oral gonorrhea. Sorry to bother you. I am just worried.

Some syphilis bacteria are resistant to all macrolide antibiotics -- azithromycin, clarithromycin (Biaxin), and erythromycin. These strains are common in some geographic areas and apparently absent in others. Unfortunately, the technology to determine resistance is complex and expensive, and therefore data are not available from most geographic areas.

Cant take anything in first.trimester and in sencond and third only tylenol products, benadryl, claritin. That is about it. Ia asked three docs and pharmacy a few weeks ago. I am super snotty. Always sneezing and blowing my nose. Apparently its common in pregnancy.

m safe and it seemed to help a little just made me really tired though I have an upper respiratory and sinus infection..

My doc just called me since im super sick and told me only mucinex d and Tylenol. Im 16 weeks.

ve come across several women who took Mucinex or Robitussin to help thin out their cervical mucus. I was wondering if anyone has really tried that and if so, was it successful? Please give as much details as possible so that I can get a better understanding of how that works with the process of TTC. Thank you!

Benedryl is best. Its a class b drug.

I recently read that someone is taking mucinex along with trying to get pregnant...does that work with conceiving?

Does Mucinex help thin your cervical mucus like the Robitussin is supposed to. Its active ingredient is guaifsen (sp?).

I was told not to take mucinex.

I am 30 weeks pregnant, would it be safe to use maximum strength mucinex fast max severe congestion &cough? I called my doctor while I was in the store looking &the nurse said mucinex is fine to take but then I read online it's very dangerous &I have already taken 2 doses :/ so worried right now just wondering if anyone else knows for sure.

I started this cycle on clomid and mucinex, like robitussin, it helps thin ur cm so it's easier to conceive, still waiting for AF so not sure if it worked this cycle or not...but I've heard lots of women using them together since fertility drugs sometimes make ur cm more thick and harder for sperm to swim thru...

My mother (51 years) has been diagnosed with antral gastritis and also got a positive result for the presence of Helicobacter Pylori. She has been prescribed with Mox 250mg( Amoxycillin capsules), Maclar 250mg( Clarithromycin), omeprazole tabs. Will it be sufficient for the cure with regular dosage or please suggest any additional measure.

Well, that would depend on each person. I like mucinex to keep mucus flowing. It thins it. They also tell you to drink a lot of fluids as well to help keep mucus thin. the reason why that is important is because if it is thick, it's more likely to stick and clog and that's when it can fester and become a secondary bacterial infection (bronchitis, sinusitis). For a cough, I use Delsom which is an otc cough suppressant.

I´ve been having this problem for 10 months now... they get better or worse somedays and definitely they go away with clarithromycin, but I cannot take it forever. Any opinion?

For the past week I have been sick and just ignoring it. Yesterday morning i took some mucinex D and went to a high school wrestling tournament. An hour after taking the medicine i felt the pressure in my head get really bad and i fell to my back. Things started to get darker and my body got very tingly. I thought I was going to have a seizure or asthma attack or just die on the spot. I was like this for about 15 seconds saying i needed an ambulance.
