ketek telithromycin treatment

so the questions is can you take antibiotics while in treatment? i have no allergies to antibiotics. i go for my 2 week labs this friday and i have an appointment with my NP next friday.....sidenote: i feel like i have an infection.

I took antibiotics quite a bit while on treatment but not because I was sick, I don't actually recall being sick on treatment. I was on antibiotics to keep me from getting sick when my white counts dropped, first it was run of the mill antibiotics and eventually heavy duty ones that ran about $750 for about a 200ml bottle. So...yes, you can take antibiotics while on treatment and some docs will put you on them as a preventative measure depending on your individual circumstances.

For the last two and a half years I have been on Ketek ( twice a day ) , ceftin ( twice a day), diflucan( once a day), plaquenil(twice a day) and pantoloc. I also take ton of acidophilus. I wennt off all of them the first of July this summer. I am quite a bit better but still suffer from extreme fatigue,and muscle twitching. I am wondering if you think I should try some other antibiotics?

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!

Hi, I am on my second day of a 5 day course of Ketek 400mg (Taking 800mg) . Tomorrow will be my third day. I had an upper respiratory infection but feel MUCH better. I want to go back to Gym tomorrow (Crossfit) i will only take my anti biotic after the session. Is this ok?

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.

5+ months into treatment. I pulse mino, zith, and bactrim for Lyme and Bartonella. I have possible Babesia, but my LLMD is unsure. I've had an obvious response to treatment, including worsening of symptoms followed by periods of improvement. But I am not be able to maintain any of these gains overtime. I also have some symptoms that are unresolved, even worsened, since starting treatment.

Sorry new to forum and I didn't know ... Anyway I messed up. I am starting treatment sometime this month and am curious about side affects.

hi all, i have hep c geno1a, at stage 2 fibrosis. going on treatment next week with teleprevir. i ready that it takes 10 yrs or more to go from one stage to another if u live a healthy lifestyle. any truth to that. also i read someone here had stage1 grade 0. does anyone know what grade 0 means. i havent heard of that before.

I have Hep c, however, my doc acts like I shoudn't do any treatment, he's an internist, is everyone of the mind that the treatment works and are the best course of action. What specialist would you use.

Is it best to have the RAI treatment after thyroid removed, with large lymph node, that all contained pappilary cancer, even if the thyroglobulin test is zero?

re not already on anti-depressants, they may be recommended before you start treatment as the treatment drugs can make depression worse.

I start my treatment next week. Have to take 2 capsules of Ribasphere 200 mg daily and 1 shot of Pegasys Pro Click 180 mcg/ 0.5 mil weekly for 24 weeks . Have to have blood work done monthly to monitor my platelet count. Last blood work they were at 33,000 but they have been up and down since 07 when I was diagnosed with ITP. I would like some advice on what to expect with side effects.

Started treatment last Thursday of 800 mg of ribavirin daily and the auto click Pegasys weekly. Viral load was 35,000 on March 5th. Blood work to be done weekly then on April 23rd will have blood work done to see if I'm responding to meds.

Do most people start treatment right away or do you wait if you are not symptomatic? I keep having these moment where I need to know all the answer and all the next steps. And then for a moment I'm ok. Is it better to get my body in shape before undergoing treatment (kind of like preparing for battle). I all ready have aches and pains and am over-weight. Would treatment intensify this?

For persons with either genotype 2 or 3 HCV, the high SVR rates coupled with the shorter duration of treatment has prompted many experts to proceed with treatment without obtaining a liver biopsy" http://depts.washington.edu/hepstudy/hepC/mgmt/hcvtxit/discussion.html 3. Discuss your treatment options as well as the implications of each choice (some options would be to treat with dual, wait for all orals, do nothing).

well my husband starts treatment tuesday night. what should we expect? the dr. said to take a couple of tylenol before we come in. for what? and should it be tylenol pm so he can come home and just sleep? i hope thats not a dumb question.

after you post your last blood work up here - and it seems that you should be having treatment - wave bye-bye to this doctor and get a good one!

After I found out I had HepC, I got tested again, had the liver biopsy and was offered to start treatment. But, my viral load is only 160,000, and my liver showed only slight cell inflamation. The nurse said I should start while I feel good. I wonder if the viral load was low becasue before having the biopsy and viral load count, I spent a year taking high doses of milk thistle and basil, and plenty of vitamins. I think my viral load count is relatively low.
