metronidazole and methotrexate

I have been taking prednisolone on off for years for sinusitis/allergies and have read some people have started taking methotrexate for Rheumatoid Arthritis. Does anyone know if this would also work for chronic sinusitis conditions?

My husband has ankylosingspondilitis and takes enbrel injections and has considered taking methotrexate before. Best of luck. Could be a real blessing from God :) and a healthy baby!

ive recently been on flucloxicillin and penecillin very high doses and i know this can affect mtx strengths. i have been tired and achy and nauseas for weeks now. ive done two hpts and both have been negative. should i see my gp?

The prednisone step doown depends on how long u have been on it typically the longer your on it the slower the step down as well as strenght so a doc is nest to ask but it could be fine since it was such a short time. As for methotrexate I found 2 articles on it and GM and it sounded promising and my breast doctor agreed and sent me to a rheumatologist to monitor the drugs and my docs communicate about my progress and work together.

I visited the doctor Monday with a vaginal infection and was given Metronidazole to start taking. I went back for results Wednesday and I was confirmed to have BV. My doctor then gave me Erythromycin to take (2, twice a day)... as well as the Metronidazole (3, three times a day). This seems like an awful lot of antibiotics. Why was I given Erythromycin, when from as far as I can tell, Metronidazole alone is the recommended treatment for BV? Hope someone can shed some light on this. Thanks!

My primary care physician and rheumatologist advised me to stop the methotrexate immediately. Methotrexate injures the liver, and that is why it is dosed once a week instead of daily. This gives your liver time to heal in between doses. Methotrexate was very effective for my RA symptoms and I hated to give it up, but I wasn't willing to destroy my liver in order to get relief from joint pain.

Can the Methotrexate alter my thyroid levels? I am off Methrotrexate now and only taking 5 mg of Predisone and 175 synthroid?

So sorry to hear you are in the same boat as me. I have very similar pain and I have a positive ANA one time and negative the next time and the same on the RF. It sounds like, as in my case, it is RA or Lupus. For me it is gearing more to Lupus since my pain is mostly in my muscles and connective tissue, not my joints. I'm rather surprised he would start you on methotrexate without a diagnosis. How long have you had these issues? How long have you been on your meds?

The methotrexate injection is a significantly less risky and less costly therapy, and I would have done the same thing. It won't deplete your entire folic acid stores--the dose used for treating ectopic is pretty low. And methotrexate works preferentially on rapidly growing tissue, not on stable tissues. I hope your therapy works--in your case there is a very good chance that it will.

We had an ultra sound and it showed fluid in my left tube. I received Methotrexate to abort the pregnancy on Sept 6 and I have continued taking metformin. My doctor has requested we wait three months to TTC again. We are so ready to try again! My question is has anyone else been through this? If so how long did you wait to TTC and how successful were you?

Not sure that in USA methotrexate is mandated with rituximab for RA, and the studies she spoke of to us were US-FDA trials. So there may actually be another reason, but as no further funds went into the US Rituxan trials, perhaps we will never really know the total reason? Sounds like following it up might give valuable clues.

at first i didnt bother it but after my medication in soar throat and allergy(urcatitaria), my vagina started to became itchy and again, everyday i started having green discharged for `1 week. i went to a gynecologist and she prescribed me a metronidazole miconazole vaginal suppository and ive used that for `1 week.. now what my problem is, my white discharge had stop.. i am also currently taking up medice for my UTI and had experiexed sex but that was like long time ago...

Metronidazole can cause diarrhea as a side effect. But it may be also working on the infective cause of your dog's illness in the first place, so don't stop it without speaking to your vet. Meanwhile keep your dog hydrated. If you can find an unflavoured electrolyte drink like Pedialyte that would be great. Plain water would do for a short time but Pedialyte would be better.

I took metronidazole gel at about 20 weeks for bv and baby is fine now at about 28 weeks

I am 30 weeks and I took it and it caused me to have seizures and stop breathing

m currently 23 weeks as of today, and this is my first baby. Have any of you taken it before and had any issues? I know my doctor wouldnt give me anything harmful to the baby, but it still just scares me. Any tips would help! Thank you & i hope you guys are doing great!!

I was prescribed it last week for a bacterial infection. Took it 4 times and my face started to break out in a rash. Called the pharmacist and then the doctor. Both said i was having an allergic reaction to the medicine. Both said to stop taking it. I go to the doctor next week to ddiscuss other options. So just watch out for that.....

Has anyone ever used oral metronidazole for a vaginal bacterial infection? I'm on my 5th of 7th day and have developed a very thick clear to cloudy mucousy discharge. Is this normal. I know the gel form will pull everything out in a thick white chunky discharge but does the oral pill.

My heart beat is erratic most of the time anyway but when I tried taking flagyl for campylobacter, it didn't affect my heart at all. I just got extremely sick and intestinal issues worsened. They had to switch me.

For the past ten days I have been taking Metronidazole (Two 250mg oral tablets, twice daily). I took my last pills lastnight around 10:30 pm. My question is, would it be okay for me to consume alcohol on Saturday night? I know my pharmacist told me to absolutely stay away from alcohol while I was taking the pills because I would vomit alot, and he said most people wait a couple of days after they've finished before they drink. Im just wondering if two days is enough time?

I went to the obgyn last week they ran urine samples and std tests and everything was okay, I told them I’m spotting still for two weeks now three and cramping the test came back for BV so they prescribed me Metronidazole I felt way too anxious about taking it , Friday I went in for a ultrasound and pelvic ultrasound I believe and got the results today that it was fine. They now prescribed me clindamycin gel which I will pick up tomorrow due to pharmacy out of stock.
