Moxifloxacin for std
Common Questions and Answers about Moxifloxacin for std
avelox
So my question is this, What could my diagnosis be and how effective is Moxifloxacin (I have taken ofloxacin) as a treatment for STDs or Urethritis, especially in South East Asia?
If you meant to say that you took Moxifloxacin, and you still have symptoms, it just means that you have multi drug resistance MG. Yes, there are STD’s in this country that are not known about AND MG is the culprit behind many undiagnosable urethritis/prostatitis issues.
This is way more common than the doctors even know about. I’m not saying this to scare you, I’m saying this. because it’s the truth.
What did work was a combination of Moxifloxacin 400mg one per day for 10 days (in the morning), plus Rifampicin one pill per day for 10 days (at night). The combination of both of these together finally killed it!
if the problem persists or recurs, give the alternate drug plus metronidazole (Flagyl) or tinidazole (Tindamax) to cover trichomonas; and for still more recurrences, moxifloxacin, apparently the best drug for M. genitalium. If your treatments have been different than this, discuss it with your doctor.
Some cases at this stage may be due to prostatitis. Infection due to unusual bacteria may need to be checked out.
It was also recently that my test results from a swab culture came positive for mycoplasma when in the past urine tests always said i was negative for all STDs. When my test results kept coming back negative the doctor told me it was fine to have sex with my partner. My partner also tested negative for everything and so after i finished the antibiotic treatments i waited a week before having sex.
However, as I now know there are multiple ones out there that have never been tested for. He had pain with urination and came up positive for mycoplasma genitallium. I have done doxy and azithromycin and still came up positive for mycoplasma genitallium and ureaplasma. my partner and I are finishing up 14 days on Moxi and I am still having cramping. My partner is still having testicular pain. So I’m guessing this didn’t work either.
On the other hand, the moxifloxacin is good for both prostate infections, mycoplasma genitalium and other urianry tract infections. When we are at the satge of "trial and "error", this has been helpful in the past. My consern would be that you have prostatitis.
doxycycline, azithromycin and moxifloxacin. The first two failed to clear my infection and now I have two days that I finished the moxifloxacin 400 mg( 10 days treatment) clearing my symptoms. My question is, Is it possible for the bacteria to reoccur after the moxifloxacin treatment? And if yes what other option are there?
So you were tested for oral M. genitalium? 10 days of Moxifloxacin should be enough to eradicate the M. genitalium. in about 95% of strains. Have you checked if you are running a fever? Since you traveled could you have acquired a parasite? Also, did they do a urine culture on you? It would be good to get your kidneys checked as well (Bun, Creatinine blood tests) done to make sure they are functioning well. Be sure to drink enough water. You cuold have a eye infection.
About 6 months ago, I noticed that I had discharge and dysuria and came to the conclusion that I had urethritis. Thinking that it was caused by an std,I want to the doctor who gave me a ceftriaxone injection and put me on ciprofloxacin pills for 3 days.
The symptoms went down drastically but they never completely went away.
Cure rates with moxifloxacin are 100% According to some info
I’ve found, and is used after Doxy and az. So id press to get moxifloxacin. moxifloxacin 400 mg daily for 7 to 14 days is the preferred antibiotic regimen.
And most if not all cases would have been eradicated by one or more of the antibiotics you had, especially moxifloxacin. It is possible that testing for MG will become routine in the future, but not yet. To your specific questions:
1-3) Recurrences are common with NGU, but not usually for 3 years. I would guess you have had a prostate problem, rather than recurrent NGU per se. It is unlikely that your problem is due to persistent or recurrent M genitalium.
Different bacteria can respond to different medication
I myself cleared it with Moxifloxacin and Rifampicin My test was repeated negative until I joined a research study for unable to be identified bacterial prostatitis. I tested positive for Mycoplasum Genitalium but a strain that does not show up on standard tests due to a gene change that was part of it becoming antibiotic resistant which is one of the markers they originally used for DNA testing of the bacteria in samples provided by suspected infected patients.
if you finally get a positive, the FDA just approve Lefamulin, which has high activity against MG in vitro. If you’ve failed Moxifloxacin, I’d push for a minocycline/Lefamulin combo. It seriously is the only bit of hope that has come along in many years.
12 days after infection (04/17) I completed blood tests and urethra swab samples in a STD hospital and three days later the doctor told me I was infected with Mycoplasma. He did not explain more, just gave me Doxycycline x 40 pills (one in the morning and one at night) I am unsure what the dosage was. My symptoms went away instantly but about two weeks later (05/06) the symptoms returned mildly.
I finished the Doxycycline and returned to the doctor on 05/21 and ran the exact same tests.
In addition, it is now recommended that metronidazole or tinidazole also be given, to cover the possibility of trichomonas, which can be difficult to diagnose, especially in men. For continued persistence or recurrence thereafter, the drug moxifloxacin (Avelox) is sometimes used, to cover the possibility of an infection with Mycoplasma genitalium, which can be resistant to both doxy and azithromycin.
azrithromycin 1gm, doxycycline 14 days, flagyl, cipro. Nothing helped. He gave me an antifungal afterwards. Then he gave me moxifloxacin for 10 days. Again got tested after antibiotics were out of my system for 14 days, and everything negative.
In the meantime, penis is very sensitive still almost two months later. Rash is the same. Saw 3 dermatologists, one thinks penile psoriasis, one thinks nothing, one thinks dermatitis....lovely.
I would like to hear if anyone on here has experience with finally being successfully treated for m. genitalium after failed treatment for presumed gono or chlamydia. I have been having failed treatment for the past four weeks after two z paks, doxy, cipro, and a rocephin injection. The discharge is significantly less ,and the pains of arthritis only come once in a while. The epiditmitis is probably 97 % gone. I have read that m. genitalium rarely causes epiditymitis, but it is possible.
now only left moxifloxacin hasnt try, seems to be last resort. this bacteria already bothered me for 6 months, really want to get rid of it.
