Clarithromycin for bv

Common Questions and Answers about Clarithromycin for bv

biaxin

Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn Hi everyone, My mom was recently diagnosed with Hep C associated cirrhosis. She has had some complications, including esophageal varices and ascites. She remains fairly well compensated and does not exhibit symptoms such as fatigue or confusion. During an endoscopy her doctor also noticed an ulcer and tested her for H pylori (which was positive). He's prescribed Prevpac to kill the bacteria and heal the ulcer.
Avatar n tn m allergic to Penicillin and Sulfa, I just finished taking Doxycycline for a week and feel better. Thanks for the information.
Avatar m tn Having diarrhea after antibiotics is not rare, but also not normal. I recommend you to have stool test for C-diff and for occult blood. Having problems with breathing is probably from the acid coming up into your throat and then down into lungs. You should fix this promptly, it may damage your lungs (aspiration pneumonia, with lung scars). There's another possibility - alergy to one of antibiotics. Would you say you have any lips or face swelling or skin itching?
Avatar f tn At the beginning of June I plan on getting retested for HSV1 and HSV2 using the IgG test since it will be more than four months since I was possibly exposed to herpes. The thing is that since the date that I last had sex I have had bacterial vaginosis, the Gadernella strain, the entire time. I've taken different medications and it will not go away.
Avatar f tn I have only ever taken an Antibiotic for a BV infection, maybe that is something you need to do. If I were you I would get a full STD screening as well as a yeast and BV culture so that you can be sure. You dont want to suffer like this any longer treating the wrong thing or not treating it properly.
Avatar f tn 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.

Avatar f tn I took my antibiotics for bv and then went to sleep. Woke up sweating and running to the bathroom having diarrhea. I'm still sweating and I'm having some stomach pain. Anybody experience this? Is it the antibiotics doing it to me ? I'm 17 weeks pregnant.
Avatar m tn do you mean to say there is no treatment for bv
Avatar f tn Having suffered pelvic pain, pain in vagina and back passage, vaginal disharge, urinary frequency and some pain when urinating for some time, and with all swabs taken by my GP and local GU clinic coming back "all clear", I had a private PCR assay carried out on a urine sample (full sexual health screening). This showed that ureaplasma urealyticum was present.
Avatar n tn (Tigecycline is a derivative of Minocycline – see previous) Clarithromycin is active against most strains of M. abscessus, and current expert opinion recommends clarithromycin monotherapy for localised cutaneous disease, and combination therapy including clarithromycin and parenteral agents for treatment of disseminated infection, pulmonary infection or extensive cutaneous disease.1,11 Many isolates of M.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn finally today I got my results back and she said I am positive for BV AND Trich. I’ve been with my boyfriend for 4 years, I got BV the first couple months we started having intercourse (not sure if it was Trich as well) we have a two year old daughter, I’ve been to the doctor numerous times over the past 3 years getting tested for STD/STI, and poked, prodded for other reasons (endo, ovarian cysts) not once out of these 4 years I’ve been with him have I been positive for Trich.
Avatar f tn a + wiff test is considered diagnostic for bv and you should've been treated for it a month ago when you were seen.
Avatar f tn bv only cuts your catches when you have it but it doesnt harm you in anyway (cut your catches of having bv is not using soaps or oils when bathing/showering - you are now more likely to get bv).
Avatar m tn 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?
Avatar f tn s many ways to take flagyl for BV , in 1 dose or in multiple doses for 7 days . It seems that the cure for BV and Trich are exactly the same dosage . 500 mg twice a day for 7 days . I am wondering who else has took this to cure BV and/or Trich . I am wondering , because the doctor today had said I will give you this for BV .. And I asked can't you just give me the dose for Trich , incase it's Trich . And he said no , that he would only give me the dose for BV ..
Avatar m tn The urologist immediately suspected chlamydia due to particles of puss on the glans and prescribed me with Clarithromycin for 14 days while getting a urine sample (which came back positive for chlamydia a few days later). I didn't have sex or any sexual contact since the 13th of December, and contacted my previous partners about this. My girlfriend got a chlamydia test done (results coming today) and was put on Azithromycin single dose to be sure.
Avatar m tn About a month ago I was prescribed a course of Clarithromycin for a skin infection. Since taking the drug I've suffered huge surges of adrenaline, which kicks in like a lighting shot at the point of sleep. It kept me away many nights and I was beside myself with worry. It's now more than three weeks since I stopped the medication (I only completed 2.5 days out of 7) and I find that the adrenaline surges have subsided somewhat.
