Your result is definitely negative for HSV-1, and almost certainly you don't have HSV-2 either. As you apparently know, HSV-2 results 0.9 - 1.1 are technically equivocal, meaning no conclusion can be drawn. However, since the manufacturer developed that recommendation and secured regulatory approval to interpret the results that way, extensive research has shown that almost no results below about 1.5 are truly positive.
has given me 10 days of clindamycin to be taken 3 times a day at a dose of 450 mgs. this is fine, i can take clindamycin with no ill effects.
HOWEVER, i have read that this drug is not commonly used to treat std's as there are so many better options. Is clindamycin going to work??? Thanks.
Ladies, tell me the truth is it me or its just this stupid ksjahqbskcidow bacterial vaginosis?!?!? Ugh I've had since I found out I'm pregnant! Took flagyl but I was allergic to I switched to clindamycin. I took that clindesse clindamycin vaginal cream, didn't work!!! Clindamycin HCl tablets for 7 days didn't work!!! Now they want me to take clindamycin HCl for 7 days again!!!??!!!!!! I'm sooooooo confused, frustrated, devastated, im cryinh and all mix nega emotions!!!!
In October I did Clindamycin for a tooth infection. I've had four reoccurrences of C Diff since. Antibiotics alone are not curing......Flagyl and/or Vancomycin
Eat live yogurts, probiotics all inbetween occurrences. When not episodic with D,
still feeling terrible, swollen abdomen, abdominal pains, chronic fatigue.............
Now what?
I have been prescribed Clindamycin to clear up a possible tooth infection. I was wondering if anyone has had any heart rhythm problems attributed to antibiotics. I have pvcs/pacs, all tests, ekg, echo has come back completely normal. Im just worried about taking a new medication,, afraid it may cause the palpitations to be worse, better yet cause a dangerous arrythmia!! Any advice would be great!!
I have the exact same problem with an infection on the lower right 2nd tooth from the back. I had the root canal done two days ago and I am in terrible pain. The endodontist sent out a scrip for Clindamycin. First of all what is I&D and what do I do next. I am scared of complications that might be serious.
Also, the infection has been treated with numerous antibiotics (amoxicillin, flagyl, omnicef, augmentin, clindamycin), and all seem to help at first, but only clindamycin has lasting effects. Not even augmentin worked. Any idea on what kind of bacteria would respond to clindamycin but not augmentin?
I just had a D&C for post menapausal bleeding. I started getting a fever and chills the next day. I called the surgeon and she had some blood work done and blood cultures. She put me on clindamiacin . I had sepsis in February after surgery for appendicitis now in terrified that it's happening again. When I had sepsis I only had a fever no shaking chills or anything else and it took 3 separate days of blood cultures to find it.
I even asked if maybe it could be related some the medications (doxycycline, clindamycin, 5-HTP, clobetasol, vitamin D) I am taking. The answer was no. Was told that it was probably just a fluke and it would eventually just go away.
I've reached my frustration limit. The heat isn't going away. I've tried keeping a fan pointed at my face while I am at work, but that doesn't help. I even switched the air to cool on my blow dryer. Am I doomed? Will I never find a solution?
I recently had a wisdom tooth extraction and was prescribed Clindamycin to prevent the extraction area from becoming infected. I was prescribed this medication on 5/28/2014. I was directed to take it 3x a day until it was all gone. I took it for about a week straight. I noticed while I was on the medication that I had very severe episodes of diarrhea and stomach cramping. I stopped taking the medication as of yesterday.
About 5 weeks ago I had all four of my wisdom teeth removed, and the oral surgeon prescribed me Clindamycin to prevent infection. A day or two after I finished my prescription I noticed that I wiped up a little blood on the toilet paper after going to the bathroom. I looked it up on the internet, and it said blood from the rectum could possibly be due to antibiotics, so I thought no big deal. I was also taking Ibuprofin and Vicodin for pain during the antibiotics.
the main reason is that the clindamycin is a very powerful antibiotic (my doctor put me on 450mg of clindamycin) the down side is clindamycin can kill everything in your body. that includes the good bacteria in your intestine called gut flora. if the good bacteria dies it can make way for a bad bacteria that's immune to clindamycin to grow in your intestine. eating the yogurt (especially yogurts with "probiotics" in them) will help keep your gut flora levels up right now.
So on the 19th, My wife was in a world of pain and really swollenafter 5 days of antibiotics. She’d taken amoxicillin and clindamycin and neither helped. She went to the surgeon and he did an I&D and extracted the tooth. He switched her to augmentin. By Monday the pain was worse, she couldn’t swallow, the cheek was bigger and she’d developed cellulitis so we went to the ED. They admitted her and on Tuesday they did another I&D and extracted 2 more teeth. They put a drain in as well.
Over the course of the last month and a half I have been on 4 different antibiotics for different problems. Biccilin, azithromycin, amoxicillin, and clindamycin. About a week ago after I finished the clindamycin I had absolute crazy diarrhea, abdominal pain(mostly radiating from my right side) and loss of appetite. I was tested for cdiff. By my dr and the test came back -.
Hello, before couple of days I had sawb test and I got the result below, I could not understand it, could you please help me to know if I have any infection or not? Appreciate your help.
Final Report
1+ Streptococcus agalactiae isolated.
My RPR Test was positive and my FTA-ABS was 1:5 non reactive. I am getting the treatment of Syphilis. But my partner’s test results were negative and the last time that we had unprotected sex was 5 months ago. He had himself tested about a month ago. Is there a possibility that he has not taken Syphilis from me? I don’t have any symptoms of syphilis myself. I had myself tested just for an annual check up!
The reason that the other poster could have been cured by cipro is that she may have had a Mycoplasma and it may have been sensitive to ciprofloxacin. But the standard treatment for bv is either metronidazole or Clindamycin. So you can try the cipro and see if it clears up but if it doesn't then if can take clindamycin I would then take probiotics after. Cipro can treat a lot of UTI's but not all. It depends on the bacteria that is causing the infection and how resistant it is.
I and my husband received IV continous infusion Clindamycin treatment times 7 days and the followup testing showed we were both positive with clamydia. I still have pain in my right kidney that I usually have with chronic UTI. I am taking Cipro now for E. facelis but infection will not go away. It is too the point I don't want to have intercourse with my husband. Also did two months of oral macrobid and clarithomycin both I and my husband. Don't know what to do please advise.
t seem to have problems with doxycycline, amoxicillin or clindamycin. Clindamycin destroys my stomach though. I avoid cipro and zithromax.
I previously took Clindamycin which worked great for a few months, but then stopped working. However, that was before the 2 teeth were pulled. I'm wondering if maybe I should try it again in conjunction with the Augmentin, since it may now have a better chance of working since the 2 teeth were pulled and the bone cleaned out.
My oral surgeon would like to try me on clindamycin again, but my infectious disease doctor says the Augmentin should be fighting all of the bacteria.
I have Staphylococcus epidermidis in urine and semen in the Microgendx test as well. I was prescribed to take Clindamycin. It was effective. I am in Canada, and happy to discuss more details with you.
blood and urine tests and xrays plus physical exam showed nothing. Specialist ran a toxo test which came back positive. We put him on Clindamycin for 30 days and by dat 29 he was 100% back to normal.
Then two days off antibiotics and he was acting sick and hiding again. Back on Clindamycin but it's been 7 days and he has not popping back as quickly as he did last time. His pupils are dilated and he is hiding from us (normally loves attention!
I have two failed implants due to infection which did not respond to Clindamycin. I also got a bad reaction to Clindamycin a feeling of big lump in throat, sore throat and severe heartburn. In spite of the fact that I drank at least 10ounces of water with each pill.
My question is since I'm allergic to penicillin. What antibiotic is effective for teeth and gum infections????
Thank you.
