Levaquin gonorrhea dosage
Common Questions and Answers about Levaquin gonorrhea dosage
levaquin
Levaquin is effective for about 90% of gonorrhea infections but not all and, for that reason, is no longer recommended for gonorrhea. My advice would be that, rather than take chances that she was cured by the levaquin, your wife needs to at least be tested for gonorrhea at both the throat and the cervix (genital tract) and treated for exposure, probably with the same medicines your received which, I suspect, were ceftriaxone (the shot) flagyl (the 4 pills) and doxycycline.
please keep all your questions in the same post as we ask in our read before posting post on this forum. thank you for your future cooperation with this.
call monday for your test results.
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.
Hello, I am on Levaquin for a sinus infection and I just found out that my sexual partner had gonnorhea. And I was wondering if the Levaquin would take care of the gonnorhea if I had it.
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.
I asked before if could have gotten std from a blowjob and it seems that gonorreah is the only std possible as it lives in the mouth. however, while i have been treated with bactrim and levaquin with no results, the cdc says these drugs are not effective with gonorrhea. isn't ceftriaxine the most effective and shouldnt i be treated with this?
second, could i have passed gonnorhea to my wife while on levaquin and on bactrim?
t hurt, but afterwards there can be a slight stinging sensation. Reading up on symptoms I can either have a UTI or gonorrhea.
t cure most stds, and might only cure gonorrhea, but its not even the preferred treatment of gonorrhea. I hate that docs just keep using that, but that's beside the point.
But it doesn't matter - if you've not had sex, this can't be an std. The only form of herpes you'd have to worry about it hsv1, and that's only if someone has performed oral sex on you. None of your symptoms sound like herpes at all, by the way.
However, levofloxacin (Levaquin) would work against all chlamydia, most gonorrhea, and most of the nonsexually transmitted germs that cause epididymitis.
Since this probably isn't an STD problem, this is about as far as this thread can go. You should ask the same questions very directly to your urologist.
I hope this helps.
I went into a urologist and was diagnosed with potential prostatitis and was put on a 4 week course of bactrim. I had read that chlamydia and gonorrhea could be the cause of prostatitis. I had a complete STI test done and all came back negative. 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.
Handsfield I understand that Chlamydia is not transmitted orally so my fears were primarily GC since the Levaquin is a fluoroquinolone. After the Avelox, Flagy and 4 days of the Levaquin I resumed sex with my partner. She had the Bladder infection not long after that and was treated with Nitofuran, Flagyl, 750 mg per day x 6 days and Levaquin, 500 mg per day for 6 days...at the same time I was still on the Levaquin...
None of these is likely to cause pain without discharge or other symptoms. But if you were incubating gonorrhea or NGU, the azithromycin and levaquin would have prevented them. The fact that the treatment made no difference is further evidence that the pain was not due to any STD.
2) In theory, if you were infected by the oral sex event, you could have transmitted the infection to your partner the next day. But since almost certainly you didn't catch an STD anyway, partner no.
i was about to be cured from Gonorrhea but i skip some dosage of cephalexin, my problem now is i need to switch to CIPROFLOXACIN but i found out that it wasn't working for me some how im one of those patient's who were resistant to it according to the UPDATES on GONORRHEA RESISTANCE... should i go back to cephalexin? my dosage before was 500mg 3x a day...

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?
Ok so i went to the doctors for because i had kidney pain and i my urethra itches constantly my tongue is a whitish color and i have dry mouth, at night i sweat alot in my sleep, my tests for gonorrhea and chlamydia came back negative i also have ahad headaches im worried any ideas what it could be?
I have slight raised swelling around the opening of my penis that seems to flare up after oral and vaginal sex. I have recently been treated for epididymitis with Levaquin and had been on Doxycycline for acne for two months prior to this. I do not have any discharge and I have not had any frequent urination problems either. There is occasional itching at the opening that comes and goes. Does this sound like Chlamydia or Gon? Is there any other cause for this?
