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?
Hallo every 1 just a question went to Dr and he gave me levofloxacin 500mg for 7 days did not skip dose took pill as Dr said didn't have entercourse or nothing tomorrow is my last pill why do I still feel inching inside my urethra not constant can it maybe be trichomoniasis or what's going on here. I'm very stressed over this constant pressing and looking for dischard and and and.
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.
frequent urination, pain in uretha, and dripping/ discharge clear fluid. Doctor did PCR test. Positive ureaplasma and mycoplasma hominis. Gave me levofloxacin, doxycycline and Azithromycin. 7 days levo, 10 days doxy, 2 single dose Azithromycin . 1 week after treatment Ended symptoms came back suddenly. (1 month after risk event).
just received culture for uretha swab indicates AB resistant mycoplasma to all antibiotics (AB) except for one doctor has never heard of (myocline?
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.
Go potty after intercourse. Some people are more prone to UTI's I get them after intercourse if I don't go potty afterwards.for chlamydia. Oflaxacin/Levofloxacin for you and your partner. Abstain from intercourse for 7 day's during treatment of chlamydia.
However, if you think you may have difficulty remembering to take a pill at the same time every day for 7 days, you should ask for a single dose treatment. The trade off is that the single dose regimen may be slightly more expensive.
The two recommended treatment regimens are considered to be equally effective. The alternative regimens may be necessary in some individuals but two are more expensive (Oflaxacin/Levofloxacin), and the third (Erythromycin) may be less effective.
ve always been tested every 2 months and recently was just told I had Chlamydia. I was given Levofloxacin 500mg to take for 7 days. Today marks my third day and third dose. The pain when urinating has gone, but there is still some discharge? I notice it's not as cloudy and more clear now, but still seems a little sticky.
If Levofloxacin caused peripherial neuropathy will Cipro also if I take that as an alternate?
No, levofloxacin (Levoquin®) would have no effect on ARS symptoms. All ARS symptoms are due directly to the body's immune response to HIV.
My friend doctor who prescribed me zithromax 1g as a single dose and a week of doxycline 100mg bid did not eradicate the disease as i had developed epididymitis and also my wife who could be also infected had bleeding in between menstrual period. my question is , what would be the alternative treatment and what other stds that would possibly infected us. please help, anyone? thanks a lot.
After a week or so i even felt pain in my lower abdomen and burning in urethre. Urologist gave me single dose of azithromicyn and since my simptoms were still present he gave me 10 days of levofloxacin. After a month a had test on all stds plus fungal swab, everything negative except hpv (genitype 56), and Streptococcus pneumoniae in prostate.
my scrotum is not itchy, but i have some not so pleasant tingling , and a burning sensation , happened imediately afer i had sex . for 3 weeks i dont feel getting any better after i tried levofloxacin , applying Methylprednisolone aceponate gel , metronidazole, antifungal (containing nystatin , neomycin sulfate, triamcinolone acetonide) gel. my sack looks very loose.
Levofloxacin is not the preferred drug for NGU-either a single 1.0 gram dose of azithromycin or doxycycline 100 mg twice daily for 7 days are recommended therapy for NGU. Levofloxacin will probably work however and is a good drug for prostatitis.
I also tested ejaculate and they found klebsiella pneumonia so i took levofloxacin (500mg daily), and now it s 6th day i started with levofloxacin. My symptoms are still present, i also feal pain sometimes in lower abdomen, simptoms come and go during day and i cant stand it anymore. What should i do, can this be because or iritation with hand antiseptic or klebsiola or some other bactery (hidden syphilis) or even virus (herpes, hpv...
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.
Does being on antibiotics effect test results ? I was on levofloxacin finished ten day dose. Two days later had a negative oral rapid test. And this was 3 months after "risk". Am I safe ???? Is teat conclusive? Thanks again for all help and support!
If you indeed have one of these infections, however, the combination of levofloxacin and azithromycin is likely to cure you and your partner. Levofloxacin is not recommended in pregnancy, but azithromycin alone is likely to be effective.
Since you have already treated yourself and your symptoms are improving, perhaps nothing more need be done. But you should not assume an STD was the cause of the problem.
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.
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.
