I am about to start Rocephin 2gr IM q 24hrs reconstituted in Lidocaine and wonder if anyone has had any experience with 21 days of treatment? Initially my doc wanted me to have the PICC line for three weeks, however I asked that to be changed to intramuscular injections instead, as I participate in contact sports, and hence would run the risk of dislodged catheter.
My doc's treatment plan is for neuro-lyme. Can anyone share their experience in side effects, improvment, treatment outcome?
i took a rocephin shot friday morning about 9.30 and saturday about 9.30 in the night i had about 3 beers. that was about 30 hours after i took the shot does that mess up the effectiveness of the meds.?
yesterday i took rocephin shot for prostate problems. a girl licked on the head of my penis for a few seconds. if she would have gave me something would the rocephin shoot work sense it was the day before? what std could i get?
I got a shot of Rocephin on Tueday 7/13/13. The doctors took a swab for gonorrhea and chlamydia, I am still waiting on results. However, I had a non stop discharge prior to the shot. Now that seems to have gone away. I still have some slight itching and burning down there, but nothing like it was. I'm just curious what the usual wait time is for all of it to go away? I'm taking the discountined discharge as a good sign.
I was given a rocephin shot in arm by a er doctor and 6 days later i had unprotected sex with a partner i know for fact is clean
I was given the shot in er because i had a std in march and i was treated then retested and was clean from the std
When i went into er they said that a std was SUSPECTED did they say that because i had one in the past !?? They didnt even send my urine to the lab !
Been to ER, ENT, and GP several times. On two occasions, once I was given Rocephin injection, and another time had Rocephin IV. That seemed to cure my ear ringing and sick feeling for 12-24 hours. But the amox, augmentin, keflex, and bactrim-ds oral that I was given four different times will not work. The bactrim-ds did seem to help but only after 5 days of taking and I felt worse the whole week of taking them. Is there a reason the Rocephin when IM or IV works but nothing else does?
They stated I may have Chlamydia/Gonorrhea and gave me a shot of Rocephin intramuscularly. My tests all came back clear, with the exception of a 1:2 titre on syphilis with a confirmatory test result. This blood test was taken before my shot. I was also given 500 mg of Azithromycin and 200mg a day of Doxycycline for 14 days. I went to a doctor after 7 days on the doxycycline and he took me off the doxy and gave me two shots of penicillin.

Is always a wise move to go in for a follow up examine. Rocephin is 95-97% effective in treating gonorrhea. Rocephin is a cephelasporin and as far as I know, gonorrhea has not become resistant to cephelasporin drugs. A follow up culture will be a good way to determine that the infection has been fully cleared or if you require more drugs to finish the job.
I recently was infected with gonorrhea and I went in for a follow up per my doctor's orders. I think its a good idea.
Turns out, my girlfriend had an oral infection, and she transmitted Gonorrhea to me through oral sex. We were both treated. She was given Rocephin and Azithromyocin, and I was given Rocephin and Doxycycline. I wasn't given Rocephin until after my bacterial culture revealed it Gonorrhea and not Chlamydia, but Doxycyline cleared my symptoms within 4 hours. (Obviously) I finished my 10 day course of treatment.
We waited about four weeks after we were treated before resuming sexual activity.
Re: Lidocaine Enemas. I am warning everyone to be careful. My brother just died 3/31/12 from a lidocaine enema. He was only 28. (Lidocaine Intoxication) Lidocaine in liquid form. I don't want anyone elses loved ones to die like this. I hope everyone will be careful when dealing w/lidocaine. it is a dangerous substance when not used properly.
then again i went to my doctor!!! and he said he will gave me a shot of rocephin 1g he said these medication will work within 24hrs.. after this there's a big change of result! there's no discharge, no burning sensation..
Now my question is...
1. 1g of rocephin is enough to cure gonorrhea or chlymadia? even there's no other treatment of doxy after a shot of rocephin?
2. how long does it take to make me negative??
3. after a shot of rocephin within 24hr.
There are no contraindications for using lidocaine for the purpose described. The only danger is that lidocaine completely anesthetizes tissue, which is why you can cut or suture an area treated by lidocaine. Thus it is possible to cause a tear or injury that would not be noticed until the lidocaine wore off. In the case of normal intercourse, this should not be a problem.
In a simple dental procedure, I had what I can only describe as a seizure after getting what was supposed to be lidocaine and epinephrine injection. The area never got numb, and the pain from the point of the needle each time they attempted to inject me was painful. I was taken to the ER and released after 8 hours with no explanation.
I read that lidocaine can cause a seizure. I have had injections many times with no problem. What could have gone wrong?
It probably isn't the lidocaine, it's the epinephrine that is in the lidocaine. You can ask your dentist to use an anesthetic without epinephrine, I have had tons of dental work and always ask for that. Dentist doesn't mind at all and I've never had any problems. It doesn't last as long but if you start to feel anything while they are working the dentist will just give you more. I have done fine with it.
Look at the ingredients on the bottle. Benzocaine is mostly made up of lidocaine -a numbing agent in no way related to cocaine. You are more likely to test positive for THC (pot) from using motrin.
Ok, so I had chlamydia once about 5 years ago, got treated and everything was good. I had an OOPS! about a month ago, (unprotected sex with a girl) and noticed some pain urinating, pain at the tip of my penis and now clear discharge. I went to the doctor and without testing, he gave my all three antiobiotics to treat chlamydia/ngu, gonorrhea and trich. In office they gave me one injection of Rocephin, and a prescription for Doxycycline and Flagyl.
Went to a doctor who thought it was sinus post nasal drip but gave me a shot of rocephin (ceftriaxone) as I was going out of town by time test results would come in. My question is I received oral 3 days later. A little discomfort at tip of urethea but this could be because I have been checking for discharge. Only I see is when I milk my penis in the morning and a very small amount of clear (sticky) is visible.
