Avatar n tn Atorvastatin is supposed to be one of the two most effective statins in lowing cholesterol so you are on a good one. Bioavailability is how well a med is absorbed and used by the body and bioavailability varies among the statins. It's actually a desired thing. The liver is the target organ so if it is slowed down in the liver (where this happens), it's in the target organ. But honestly, that is hard for me to understand.
483814 tn?1214311480 18 years of age). Levofloxacin is contraindicated in persons with known hypersensitivity to levofloxacin or other quinolone antibacterials. Serious and occasionally fatal events, such as hypersensitivity and/or anaphylactic reactions and some of unknown etiology, have been reported in patients receiving therapy with quinolones, including levofloxacin.
Avatar n tn Careful with Levofloxacin. Sometimes the side effects aren't worth the benefits. I took Levofloxacin to cure a bout of pneumonia. Sure enough, the infection cleared up, but my joints ached so bad I could not raise my arms to take a shower, put my clothes on, bend to tie my shoes, get in and out of a car quickly. Strength training and jogging was out of the question for a month.
Avatar m tn Although a standard meal did not affect ribavirin bioavailability (F1), administration of ribavirin with a high-fat meal increased bioavailability by 46% relative to the fasting state. A high-fat meal prolonged the duration of the zero-order input part of the absorption model, with D1 increasing from 0.498 h (fasting and standard meal) to 0.740 h. The type of meal also influenced the first-order input part of the absorption model (Table 1).
Avatar n tn Is 500 mg of Levofloxacin every 48 hours suppose to make a 70 year old diabetic dialysis patient drowsy, fatigued, emotionally disturbed, and delirious? Is it okay to stop the continuing dosage after seeing the affects of the first dose?
Avatar m tn If Levofloxacin caused peripherial neuropathy will Cipro also if I take that as an alternate?
Avatar m tn No, levofloxacin (Levoquin®) would have no effect on ARS symptoms. All ARS symptoms are due directly to the body's immune response to HIV.

Avatar m tn I now understand that levofloxacin can cure E. I thought it had to cure C or G, which would in turn cure my E. But it seems, though I'd like someone to confirm it if you have any knowledge, that levofloxacin directly cures E. New question: Epididymitis was cured by levofloxacin in 2 days but why and what caused my E in the first place? Theory: Maybe my scrotum skin was weak during sex and it got infected during the sex process, but not by any STD.
Avatar f tn When a medication is administered intravenously, its bioavailability is 100%. However, when a medication is administered orally, its bioavailability decreases because not all of it is absorbed. So 70% bioavailability means that, from the dose you took, 70% of it reached systemic circulation. "Two studies have been carried out to assess the effect of food (ie, a high-fat breakfast) on the bioavailability of a SINGLE oral dose of ribavirin. An initial study by ICN Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Avatar f tn Also as a side note, Opana oral bioavailability is actually very low. Lower than morphine I believe the bioavailability is around 10 percent. However, if you reach your optimal dose, bioavailability matters little. I see that this post is from October 2011. But since I have this typed, I'll post anyway :) Good luck and gentle hugs.
Avatar m tn 2 weeks after the last injection the microbioligal sample was negative, but DNA showed gardnerella vaginalis and I took 7 days Levofloxacin. Symptoms persist. I was tested for: * Urine DNA Chlamydia test negative * Urethral swab DNA for Trichomonas, ureaplasma and micoplasa - negative I went to a surgeon for hemorroids who did prostate massage and told me I had problems with the prostate, but 2 months before that my prostate was normal in size on echograph.
Avatar m tn The reactivity of 13 quinolones (levofloxacin, ofloxacin, pefloxacin, enoxacin, moxifloxacin, gatifloxacin, trovafloxacin, sparfloxacin, lomefloxacin, ciprofloxacin, clinafloxacin, norfloxacin, and nalidixic acid) was tested in 5 commercial opiate screening assays from September 1998 to March 1999. In 6 healthy volunteers, we confirmed the cross-reactivity of levofloxacin or ofloxacin with these opiate screening assays.
1654177 tn?1319838494 Also best not to take drugs with lots of fiber as they can bind to the fiber and pass through the system before total absorption thus decreasing bioavailability. You need all the bioavailability you can get!.
Avatar f tn Blood tests are not accurate for testing the active bioavailability of sex hormones in the cells and tissues. They only test what's in the blood stream. They aren't accurate for testing when a patient is using bioidentical topical creams. I've had two holistic doctors tell me this and have read numerous articles about which testing is correct depending on which type of hormones you're taking.
Avatar n tn The ascorbate in Ferrous Ascorbate helps retardation or prevention of Fe(II) oxidation by ascorbate and to the existence of Fe(II) as a chelate with ascorbate ( vitamin C if you like ). Ferrous Ascrorbate will have a better bioavailability but you can add a vitamin C and vitamins B complex with sodium feredetate and have pretty good results. Depending on your needs; are you lacking iron? anemia?
1431734 tn?1421011671 The component of the final population pharmacokinetic model that describes the absorption phase is complex. Although a standard meal did not affect ribavirin bioavailability (F1), administration of ribavirin with a high-fat meal increased bioavailability by 46% relative to the fasting state. A high-fat meal prolonged the duration of the zero-order input part of the absorption model, with D1 increasing from 0.498 h (fasting and standard meal) to 0.740 h.
Avatar n tn In pediatrics which conditions levofloxacin with ornidazole combination will be used?
Avatar m tn Got retested a month after, chlamydia tested positive again. They prescribed me Levofloxacin for 7 days, 1 pill a day, of which i took the last pill monday. Today we are wednesday. Now one of the symptoms i was having was a slight sticky clear discharge at the tip of my penis. This symptom was not present during the whole 7 days i took the levofloxacin. But now 2 days after i took that last pill, that symptom is present again.

Avatar f tn I went and saw a different doctor who from the symptoms (no exam)thought it may be epidymitis and prescribed levofloxacin along with another urine sample. I have been on the levofloxacin for 5 days now and the testicle ache has gone and come back, along with the irritation under the head. Still no discharge excepting during one bowel movement.
