clarithromycin lyme

Hey -- good to hear from you, just wish you were feeling better. I'm not medically trained, so all this is guess work about what approach I would take if I were going through what you are -- From what I understand, there is usually not much difference in the body's reaction to generic vs brand name meds, such as Biaxin/clarithromycin, but there are some instances when it can occur because of tiny differences between the specific chemical structure of the two medications.

Could symptons show for me not even hrs after having vaginal/oral intercourse? I have and am being treated for Lyme Dease and one of the meds I take is 500 mg of Clarithromycun twice a day, would that prevent me/get rid of clamydia if I did indeed get it? Also, is it true you need to wait atleast a couple of days after intercourse to get tested for it to be accurate? I'm sorry for spelling/grammar or any stupid questions, it's 2:30 am and I am FREAKING out!

clarithromycin) and Omnicef (gen: cefdinir), and then switched to Zithromax (gen: azithromycin) and Flagyl (gen: metronidazole). As I recall, the switch in meds was because I was having a bad reaction to treatment, but it may have been that the doc didn't realize my problem was the probiotic I was taking and not the antibiotics. I don't know. So ..

Hi Friends : For the first time since a tick bite in October 2008, I am suddenly being deluged with endless pinpricks all over my body, nonstop. My eyes are always burning, my head always feels HOT. I feel very anxious all the time too, as if the word PATIENCE does not exist in my mental vocabulary. Up till now, I've had no symptoms of any kind. The tick was removed within 24 hrs at the time, I got no rash at the bite site or anywhere else.

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.

I was diagnosed with Lyme disease and have been treated with antibiotics for 6 months or so now. I also have Hashimoto's thyroid disease. Still looking for a solution for the fatigue. I am on Armour natural thyroid, am about settled on a correct dose for that. I also have depression but am taking Prozac for that. Almost every day I about have to sleep for 2 or 3 hrs every afternoon. Any ideas on what I can do for that problem??

He said that is what is used to erradicate it. He also said like you know parasites can cause symptoms similiar to lyme like tingling, etc. So we'll see. I was on a three day course of flagyl and it made me herx bad and had really awful dreams. what will the new regimen be for you?

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 been to multiple doctors and clinics and have been tested repeatedly for all of the major infections (Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Syphilis, HIV, HEP A/B/C) as well as numerous tests for potential non-STD related causes (Thyroid, Liver, Kidney, parasites, Lyme disease, Mono, Lupus, and inflammation). Everything so far has come back negative. During this time I have tried taking numerous, heavy doses of various antibiotics, such as Azithromycin / Clarithromycin, Cipro and 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 took 1500mg of Clarithromycin ER, and 1875mg of Amoxicillin that night. The following morning took another 1gm of the Niacin ER & 1375mg of Amoxicillin.

I hope you are fine going forward. If however your symptoms are not gone pretty quickly (including the joint aches), then please consider that the treatment you had was not long enough, and if you weren't tested for other infections the Lyme ticks often carry, there could be other infection(s) that need different testing and treatment from Lyme. Would you visit with us in a few weeks and let us know how you are doing?

erythromycin, minocycline and sulphamethoxazole) has demonstrated poor efficacy and high relapse rates. (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.

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!

Below is copied from Dr Burrascano's treatment guidelines for Lyme (posted on the ILADS website), including an entry on doxycycline [aka doxy] dosage: "Adults: 200 mg bid [meaning twice a day] with food; doses of up to 600 mg daily are often needed, as doxycycline is only effective at high blood levels." So perhaps your doc's doses are on the light side -- I'd ask him, but sometimes docs get huffy. I'd ask him anyway. It's your health we're talking about.

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?

prescribed the triple therapy which consists of Lanzoprazole 30 mg, Amoxicillin 500 mg and clarithromycin 500 mg. The problem is that she told me to take only one pill of amoxicillin (500mg) every 12 hours but it was supposed to be two pills (1g) according to FDA and other resources. I am very concerned because I know that this bacteria becomes resistant to antibiotics. What should I do?, How long do I wait before I take another test to see if the bacteria is gone or not?
