Levaquin dosage for chlamydia

Common Questions and Answers about Levaquin dosage for chlamydia

levaquin

Avatar m tn Thanks for your reply. They tested me for chlamydia but I'm not sure about gonorrhea. After taking the first round of antibiotics I still tested positive for chlamydia. I took another round and got retested. I don't know the results yet but I still experience symptoms after two weeks of taking the medication. I'm avoiding sex completely until this clears up. My doctor offered doxycycline as an alternative to Levaquin. If that doesn't work I can ask him about Erythromycin.
Avatar f tn I am pretty sure I just have a UTI but if for whatever I have an STD will the Levaquin that I am taking for my UTI cure chlamydia or gonorhea? I am taking 500mg for 6 days. Please help me. This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/246898'>Levaquin for Chlamydia/Gonorrhea</a>.
Avatar m tn but why in the bloody hell are you on Levaquin for chlamydia..if you really believe that you did indeed have chlamydia..then number 1 you should have been given a shot of ceftriaxone though most doctors use the 250 mg vial I would have given you a 1 to 2 gram dosage... then you should have been put on a tetracycline antibiotic such as doxycycline... and say given 30 days worth of it ...... that would have knocked chlamydia out or gonorrhea out..
Avatar n tn If you have been taking levaquin, do not have a urine chlamydia test. Levaquin cures chlamydia and would make the test negative, even if you were infected recently. At this point, there is no point in having any more chlamydia testing at all.
Avatar n tn You have to pay to post in the Expert forum for a Dr to answer.
Avatar m tn You said you had taken levaquin for the prostate exam, and the dose you took would have more than cured chlamydia. If you are still having symptoms, you need to follow up with your doctor, rather than self treat.
Avatar m tn Went to the Dr on 10/21, sent me for a urine test, but he prescripbed levaquin 500mg /day for 7 days because symtoms sounded like gonorrhea or chlamydia. Have now taken two of the levaquins, and the discharge has stopped, still some burning upon urniation, but have developed a dribble of urine after voiding. Is this dribble normal with gonorrhea/chlamydia, and will the levaquin clear the infection?
Avatar m tn I got symptoms that resemble chlamydia or gonorrhea (frequent urination, weird feelin in the tip of my penis) so I took levaquin 750mg tabs once a day for five days. Is that enough levaquin to knock out either of those stds? I'm still gettin the urge to urinate frequently and now I'm wondering could it be some kind of bladder infection? Any help is appreciated greatly.
1211949 tn?1271716170 Ive been on azythromycin twice and levaquin as well as suprax for gonorrhea even though I tested negative for it. I have taken two tests since and both have come back negative from gonorrhea and chlamydia. Things just dont feel right down there. I have been to a urologist twice, and he thinks I am okay. But I masterbated earlier and it stung a little bit while i tried to hold back an orgasm. I am afraid because that was the one symptom I had along with yellow discharge when I had chlamydia.
Avatar n tn I talked to the original doctor and he made the comment that the Bactrim may have caused a false negative for chlamydia and gonorrhea and prescribed zithromax (1g) and a shot of rosephin as a preventative. I informed my girlfriend and her Dr. prescribed zithromax (1g) and a single dose of ciprofloxin. Everything seemed to be ok but a few months later the prostate problems came back and I was put on a month of Levaquin.
Avatar m tn Hi. I was diagnosed with chlamydia around 3 months ago. I took the two 500mg dosage used at the health center. I fear my girlfriend may still be infected and that we are passing the infection back and forth. My local pharmacist gave us a regular zpack to treat both of us. He directed us to take two 250mg tablets once daily for three days. Will this cure chlamydia or should I take a higher dosage?
Avatar m tn Panacing i took 1g of Zpack orally then got tested two days later I took another 1g pack. the results came back negetive. Still having the same feeling I took 500mg of Levaquin. Then I read that it was no longer recommended for GC so i took a 250mg shot of Ceftriaxone. Is this enough to kill Chlamydia and Gonorrhea? Could it just be Urthetitis and would these meds take care of that too? Need answers please.
Avatar n tn I have been diagnosed with epdidymitis, octilis (sp), and prostatis. The doctor said my prostate felt a little infected. I've noticed some obvious red spots in my stool the last couple of times. Blood? Simutaneously, my left scrotum is sore and swollen for 1.5 weeks. I've been treating it with ice, ibuprofen, levaquin, and loratab for several days. Not really sure if the medicine's working after 3 days. May not be enough time. 38 years old, active, good shape.
Avatar f tn 3 weeks is the normal amount of time to wait to be retested, yes. There's a possibility that you had chlamydia to begin with, which was cured, but that you also had something else, say mycoplasma or ureaplasma, which wasn't cured. So while your test might come back negative for chlamydia, that does not necessarily mean you might not have something else. If I were you, I'd probably just get a urinalysis done.
Avatar m tn Went to the doctors yesterday he did a ultrasound of the prostate and said it did not look inlarged but he said there was some stones in there but that is not a problem. As of right now he gave me more levaquin 500mg this time for 3 weeks. Oh I forgot to add I did get the painful swap in the penis, but after taking antibiotics.They say u will never get a positive result after taking antibiotics. Was this an std or just a prostate problem If this was an std will levaquin cure it.
Avatar n tn I asked him if he would prescribe me treatment for gonorreah and chlamydia whilst I wait for the results as I am going out of my mind with worry. He advised against this but gave me a prescription of Azithromycin, with 500mg dosage twice a day for three days. In all my research online, I have read that the recommended dosage is 1g of Azithromycin taken once. Is the dosage I was prescribed as effective?
Avatar m tn Several days later, he called and confirmed that I had tested positive for Chlamydia. He prescribed Doxycycline (100 mgs for 7 days). I did receive a call from the girl that I was dating that she tested positive for Chlamydia shortly after the call from my doctor. She said that she had been battling a sore throat for some time and seemed embarrassed. Needless to say, the entire situation was awkward for both of us, so we haven't seen one another since.
Avatar f tn My prior medical history is gastroparesis (of unknown etiology) and was just recently treated for a sinus infection with Levaquin 750 mg for 5 days. I was also very nauseous and dizzy today for several hours. Had a vague pain behind my eyes. Any thoughts?
Avatar n tn The next day I had what felt like urethritis and I had a constant urge to urinate, without feeling like I could empty my bladder. I went to the doctor two days later who took a urine culture and tested for Chlamydia and gonorrhea, and gave me levaquin 500mg. My urine culture came back clear and clean but the medication didn't work like it normally does, so I went to see a urologist about 10 days after seeing the first doctor. The urologist performed a phys.
849259 tn?1244637661 thanks aj I really appriciate your input ....Im going to finish my levaquin and wait for my std results. If the pain doesnt go away I will make another appointment with my gynecologist.
Avatar m tn I mostly trust her). I was given Levaquin 500mg for a month by my doctor... also saw the urologist 2 weeks later. Both doctors said they don't think it is a STD... but not for sure. I was also given paxil and xanex for anxiety. My girlfriend and I did not have sex for a couple weeks and started again about a week ago. I was still on the antibiotic but am now off it. I recently started to have the symptoms again the day before I quit taking the levaquin...
Avatar m tn Will swab of throat test positive for gonorrhoeae if she has been on Leviquin for 3 days? Is Dr. checking for strep and would not test for gonorrhoeae since I didn't tell her? Do the improved symptoms mean she is cured? We have both been on antibiotics for 6 days now with no sex. Are we contagious? Should we be tested before resuming sex? How long do we wait? Can I stop the Doxy because I didn't have Chlamydia? Thanks, your forum is very educational.
Avatar m tn he prescribed me doxycycline and phenazopyridine. I was tested for chlamydia,gonorhea,and trichomaonas, and they all came back negative. I had no sexual intercouse of any kind with the stripper, no ral nothing. I have never had sex before period. Im concerned because they didnt test for herpes. Is there a possibility I have herpes even though theres no visible sores what so ever. Should I go get tested. Or is this just anxiety thats really bothering me.
Avatar n tn i was then sent to a urologist and everything came back normal beside a large hydrocele. i was prescribed levaquin for 14 days, that seemed to work. now the second part of the question. 2.) i'm not sure of the cause but was diagnosed with NGU - chlamydia and gonnoreah were negative. i felt like these symptoms came on after about 3 days after an encounter with a woman without a condom, i was treated with doxy and cipro.
Avatar m tn If exposed to chlamydia, gonnorhea, or syphilis....which meds are most effective....Doxy 100mg/7days or Levaquin 500mg? Any thougts or experience?
