is biaxin related to penicillin

Other options include cephalosporins such as cefpodoxime proxetil (Vantin) and cefuroxime (Ceftin). In patients allergic to beta-lactams, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim), clarithromycin (Biaxin), and azithromycin. So, if you are allergic to the penicillin group your doctor could have prescribed Bactrim for you. Regards.

Saying that my doctor just gave me the Zpack with is arithromycin (sp) I will go look to see what the best one is after penicillin.

As you have a history of penicillin allergy. If your body is hypersensitive to sulfa, reaction will be similar to that you develop for penicillin. Each individual are known to respond to a drug differently in drug allergy. If the drug is too much sensitized then it can cause more severe reaction.

04PM You are right that the data on use of azithromycin for syphilis prevention is worrisome however penicillin (or amoxicillin) is highly active and if you had been exposure to syphilis 5 days of amoxicillin would have cured it. Please do not th8ink that I am trying to "point a finger". I just wanted to let you know that I have taken the time to research but am still vague on the issue. Would 1.5g of azithromycin taken in a single dose cure syphillis?

t actually seen, I only read the medical report but I believe its near the lung and I believe it is related to rare allergic reaction to penicillin vk.

i was infected in March of this year with syphilis and doc diagnosed me secondary stage and got treated with three penicillin shots. i was fine when i went back to the doctor in June and doctor said the titers would take time to go down and also doc said i wasn't contagious. two weeks ago i received oral sex and rimming job from this guy and two weeks after i am anxious about recurring of the syphilis. i see a tiny white pimple on the bottom back of my penis. i am scare!

ve been off plaquenil for 3 days now and off biaxin since yesterday morning. My skin is not the least bit dry or uncomfortable. The weird thing is literally only 2 of all the red spots looked like they were dry (but didn't feel dry) and now those two are peeling a tiny bit, but there's no other dry skin.

Not until 2 weeks after the initial attacks did the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other public health officials make a concerted effort to publicize the efficacy of doxycycline and penicillin and suggest that doxycycline is a better tolerated treatment than ciprofloxacin.

Biaxin (clarithromycin) is an antibiotic related to azithromycin which is widely used to treat STIs however biaxin is not well studies for STI treatment or prevention. As a result, while it is likely that biaxin may be effective against common bacterial STIs, there are not good data to say this with confidence. Most women do not have STIS and it is unlikely that your partner had and STI or if she did, you may not have acquired one.

I started taking Biaxin 2 days ago for a horrible throat infection. Since then my muscles have been weak and crampy (especially my calves with restless leg syndrome as well). I also am having horrible stomach cramps and nausea and I get an overwhelming metallic taste in my mouth (almost like bile actually). And the insomnia last night was unbearable. I haven't had insomnia in over a year. Has anyone else experienced this with Biaxin?

Hi, all. I'm on Sovaldi + Olysio for another two months. I just had a tooth break off, a decayed upper incisor. The nerve is exposed and it's painful. I'm going to have to go to the dentist right away, and he'll probably want to either do a root canal job or extract the root. For both of those procedures, antibiotics are usually prescribed. I checked the drug interactions for Sovaldi and Olysio on their Patient Information sheets.

There are many things that cause rashes of the genitals but gonorrhea is not one of them. Have your doctor take a look. It may be related to the antibiotics you've been taking. 3. Neither. it may be related to the physiology of the testicles and their related structures.

Also you could be allergic to the drug. Common allergic reactions to penicillin include rashes, hives, itchy eyes, and swollen lips, tongue, or face. If you think you can rule out allergy and adverse effect then i think it's anxiety related.

Rare Doxycycline Side Effects Rare doxycycline side effects occur in less than 1 percent of people taking the drug. Because these side effects are so uncommon, it is difficult to tell whether they are actually caused by the medication or by something else.

Should i consult doctor right now? I have heard that it is harmful to take penicillin when there is no infection.

If it was, would the fact that it seems to have cleared up (apart from the remaining scars) and also she seemed in good health, suggest that she would be on arv therefore reducing the risk of her transmitting the infection? Any insights would be appreciated...

Hi, so since it is not mono, i went to a specialist (ENT) who told me if it didnt get better to come back in a week. It is not better. Now that I am off the antibiotics I feel sicker. I wouldn't say i have a cold, because My cough is dry and hurts because it is to clear my throat. I'm having more of a difficulty breathing, like my throat is stuffy. I have no mucus in my nose/ stuffy or runyn nose. My chest/ throat feel a little tight and tonsils are STILL swollen.

The infections you would be most likely to get from receipt of oral sex are either gonorrhea or non-chlamydial NGU (chlamydia is very rare in the throat). Biaxin has not been well studied for STDs but is related to azithromycin and likely would cure both chlamydia (which is unlikely to be there) and NGU. It's activity against gonorrhea is questionable. As for the amoxicillin, it would not do much.

Saw my LLMD in San Francisco on Friday and he said that my Erlichoisis is cleared but wants me to stay on my meds (Ketek & Cipro) for another 30 days. My testing for lyme is still coming up positive and there were more positive bands and stronger ones than my last test three months ago. He said that the meds I'm currently are on do not treat lyme. After this course of meds, I am switching to Amox & Biaxin to begin treating the lyme. My CD57 shot up from like 20 to 87 though!

I have recently been treated for Early Stage Syphilis (3 shots of penicillin for 3 weeks), however, exactly a week after the last penicillin dose I "hooked-up" with someone, I made it clear I did not want unprotected sex (of any kind) but I felt a mouth around my penis when immediately I restated that I wasn't having unprotected oral sex.

Is a tender stomach normal with a peptic ulcer? My entire stomach area, from just below my breasts, down to my navel, is very tender to the touch. When touched it produces like a burning/stinging/bruised feeling. Depending on the day, or time of the day, the pain is greater or less. It's not any worse than it has been for the past month or so, but it is worrying me. Is this normal with a duodenal ulcer?

I agree with Vance2335, you should consult your doctor on this question. Your concern is reasonable. Biaxin is an antibiotic use to threat bacterial infections. And, yes syphilis is a bacterial infection. However, whether the medicine will affect Syphilis test result will depend on the medicine, when the medicine was taken. You should check with your doctor or alternatively, you can post your question to the STDs Expert Forum, which runs by Dr. Handsfield and Dr. Hook.

As I understand Methadone is broken down by an enzyme which is greatly retarded by Clairithromycin, this ay cause an overdose to occur in the user. I have been taking Methadone for 5 years now (was at 180mg/day now at 10mg/day) can I safely take the Clairithromycin?
