Common Questions and Answers about Zithromax dosage for chlamydia

zithromax

Avatar m tn After a few days however my testicles ached after i drank a large amount of liqour. I took another zithromax dosage and this time 1g on the first day and 500mg for another two days. I also took doxy 100mg. bid for two weeks but my testicles still hurt. Was the treatment enough or a failure? Also my wife whom i had sex during the supposed incubation period also took 1g of zithromax and 5 days of 100mg. doxy bid.
Avatar m tn In England we only give a single gram of zithromax for chlamydia as that is considered more thsan enough to kill the offending organism. 2 grams is really overkill in my opinion and it is more likely to give you antibiotic side effects such as diarrhoea. I would definately say that if it is chlamydia you are treating, 1 gram is enough and certainly taking it over two days would be fine.
Avatar n tn I was recently infected with chlamydia, I haven't had sex in several months but a few weeks ago I was fooling around with a girl and my penis came into contact with her vagina though we didn't end up having sex. A few days later I started feeling tingling sensations towards the tip of my penis.
Avatar n tn gave me 10 day 2 dosage of doxycycline just in case. Swab test for chlamydia was positive and I finished remainder of antiobiotics. Since then I have still felt a mild discomfort (especially after prolonged sitting). I went back in Mid Oct to get HIV test & swab test again. Negative result for chlamydia,HIV, and the dr. even examined my clear fluid under microscope for trich. Dr. gave me 1 dosage of antiobiotic (methadizole however you spell it) just in case for trich infection.
Avatar f tn ve been reading that 2 gm would be necessary for Gonorrhea and 1 gm would take care of Chlamydia. I called him today to make sure he prescribed the proper dose and he reassurred me that 1 gram is all that is needed. Is he over seeing this?
Avatar f tn Hello, a few times a year, I get swollen lymph glands under the jaw, and at the same time a sore throat and a high fever. My doctor prescribed me Zithromax and I was told to take it every time I have the same symptoms (500mg dose daily for three days). I have the same symptoms now and it is very painful, however I did have unprotected sex three days ago with someone who has apparently had unprotected sex themselves many times and never been tested.
Avatar f tn Hi I am currently three days on Zithromax (treating chlamydia) and I have a light sometimes darker Orange discharge with strings of blood in them when I wipe. The consistency is stretchy and I’m pretty worried. Me and my partner (also taken Zithromax one day oral medicine) haven’t had sex since our treatment (same day), as told to wait seven days. Could it be the antibiotics fighting the infection?
Avatar m tn You would like to know if having taken 2 250mg azithromycin pills would cause your urine chlamydial test to be negative if you had taken the azithromycin 12 hours before being tested for chlamydia. The answer is no. The tests for chlamydia test for chlamydial DNA so even if there were dead or dying chlamydia present, they would have been detected. You should believe the results of your test.
Avatar f tn Just before I went on holiday I was tested for chlamydia. I got the result when I arrived- and I tested positive. So I went to local doctor in Italy and he prescribed 500mg Zithromax (12 tablets) and said take one a day for 12 days... that seems a lot. I took one yesterday and one today... not sure what to do now! Most sites say 1000mg is enough!
Avatar n tn The provider told you wrong, zithromax is used for chlamydia. The shot you were given was for gonorrhea.
Avatar m tn By this time my girlfriend had recieved her results back from her doctor that she had tested possitive for chlamydia and gonnorhea she was prescribed zithromax 1g dosage and suprax 400mg .
Avatar n tn I presume your urine or a swab from your penis was the specimen tested for chlamydia. If your urine or swab test was positive for chlamydia it would be quite unusual for the same specimen to have not been tested for gonorrhea at the same time. Thus one of the first things I would suggest is for you to call your doctor’s office and see if perhaps you were tested for gonorrhea. If so and the test was negative, you have nothing further to worry about.
Avatar n tn Fearing that this data regarding amoxicillan is old and may not be a reliable medication for cure I ordered a zithromax package and on Thursday took 4 zithromax totaling 1 graham and on friday took the remaining two. To this point I had mild urethritis only, Yesterday as paranoia has me in a tighter and tighter grip I bought a identigene Chlamydia and Gonorrhea urine test and mailed it off but will have to wait until weeks end for results.
Avatar f tn It works by fighting bacteria within the body, so yes it should cure chlamydia. The usual treatment for chlamydia is a single dose of four pills when diagnosed, but the Zithro will do the same :D Mr.
Avatar f tn 3 weeks is the normal amount of time to wait to be retested, yes. There's a possibility that you had chlamydia to begin with, which was cured, but that you also had something else, say mycoplasma or ureaplasma, which wasn't cured. So while your test might come back negative for chlamydia, that does not necessarily mean you might not have something else. If I were you, I'd probably just get a urinalysis done.
Avatar m tn i dont think if it is chlamydia or gonorreha my cousin said drink zithromax. i take zithromax 500 for 3 days now i can urinate comfortable now. how can i assure that i am fully recovered?
Avatar m tn It effectively treats or prevents syphilis and chlamydia, and probably gonorrhea -- 1 gram is on the low side for reliable activity against gonorrhea, but is still at least 90% effective. My only other advice is that you keep those condoms happy for the next time! I hope those comments are helpful.
Avatar n tn Recently i had protected sex, after about couple of minutes my condom broke. I after noticing it i pulled out. But after a couple days i started to get this yellow stuff coming from my penis.
Avatar n tn You should notice a decrease in symptoms by now. Have you noticed that or is the symptoms still the same?
Avatar m tn I went back to the doctor and got treated again for chlamydia and took another test. The results came back negative for chlamydia and gonorrhea, but even a week after these results discharge from my penis still persist. I had also gotten treated with Metrondizale for trich but symptoms still persisted after that. It is now almost April and am still having discharge in the morning and after urinating with a mild sting and itch after urinating.
Avatar f tn I had chlamydia and negative for gonorrhea and had yeast infection. I was prescribed zithromax, which cured it when I went back to the clinic. Also, my pap smear was all normal. This was all about 3 months ago. Now, for the past week, I've been having all the same symptoms I had when I got diagnosed with chlamydia: itching in vagina, bleeding in between periods, thick whitish-brownish (I guess from the blood), with an odor. My panties are constantly ruined from this.
Avatar f tn hiv) in April I took 2 zithromax pills and told to that that it would take a week for the Chlamydia to clear out of my system. Well the zithromax gave me a severe yeast infection and I was still having slight discharge, so went back to the gyno 2 weeks after taking the zithromax.
Avatar m tn I have been given 2 x 500 mg capsules for my chlamydia infection but as i don't like taking tablets I'v opened the capsules and poured the contents into a cup of tea with 1 Teaspoon full of sugar. To make sure i have consumed the full dose i made another cup of tea in the same cup and consumed it again. Two weeks later my older brother has told me the heat would of rendered the anti-biotic useless and that i still would have chlamydia.
