Common Questions and Answers about Zithromax single dose
zithromax
For a recent burning sensation in the urethra no discharge, a single 2gm dose is Zithromax is taken. The burning sensation still exist after 1 day of taking the dose. After how long this burning sensation usually disappears following a single 2gm dose of Zithromax? Should ibuprofen be considered as well? Should any other medication be considered?
you can get chlamydia and gonorrhea but oral sex but the risk of such is very, very low. treating you without testing you was irresponsible also.
at this point I wouldn't worry any further about the dose you were given ( 1gm is the dose but just as a single treatment isn't recommended ). Instead, if symptoms continue/return, be seen and get basic urine testing done for a proper diagnosis.
Hello,
I have recently been diagnosed with mild NGU although I am still waiting for my Chlamydia and Gonorrhea results. I have been given one single dose of azithromycin (1 g) . It has been four days now, and when i urinate there is still a burning sensation. I have not had any discharge at all. Before (Hours before) I have the burning feeling when I urinate, I also have a feeling of pressure/pain at my pelvis.

Hello Mark
It sounds distinctly possible that you have acquired an STD/STI and so I would take the zirthromax - you haven't said what dose he prescribed but I would suggest 1 g zithromax as a stat dose - you would need to consult locally though with the original or another doctor.
The results you have quoted seem innocuous, but the fact that you have dicomfort and a possible discharge indicate that you should take the medications pending further more specific results.
47 y/o male here... thinking of ordering antibiotics online for the purpose of preventing the spread of any bacterial infection I might acquire from receiving oral sex. Cipro (500mg, single dose immediately after the "event") and Zithromax are my first considerations, but I'm having trouble finding "Z" in a single 1g (single dose treatment)... only 500mg
1. Is antibiotic use, as a preventative measure, effective?

They then put me on Zithromax for 3 weeks (1gm in a single dose each wednesday) which cleared up all inflamation, but it came back again. The last time I talked to the doctor at the clinic, he told me that my infection should be cleared up already. They won't test for Mycoplasmasdue to the difficulty in testing.
Right now, the v-shaped crease on the underside of my penis burns for about 1/2 hour after urinating.
s and both had negative results for everything else. My doctor gave me a single dose zithromax and when I went back three weeks later my pcr was now negative. Doctor's office said this was not a false negative and reasurred me.
My boyfriend's doctor started him with a cycle of doxy, retested about 10 days later and he still came back positive. He then took zithromax and again came back positive for chlamydia in the culture but this time negative in the urine test.
Hi Celito and welcome. If you have been diagnosed with gono you need to have a doctor prescribe the correct medication. This is a nastly little bug to have and if not treated properly can lead to complications and also the risk of infecting others. When it comes to STD's you absolutely need a doctor involved.
t recommend blind treatment of this sort. However, a single dose of azithromycin (Zithromax) is not likely to be harmful. 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.
The doctor gave me a single dose of Ciprobay and Flagyl as a precaution. The symptoms went but returned several days later and in addition I had a painful penis and bladder area and a mild clear discharge mostly only after urinating, and the penis opening is swollen. The doctor then gives me a single dose of Zithromax and the symptoms are reduced but don't go away. Then he gave me a 5 day course of Flagyl and am using Travacort on anus as this is where most of the itch is (4 days).
i find zithromax really does a number on my digestive system. especially as it was given in a single high dose 2000mg. i never really thought about the antibiotics being the root of the symptoms. it's 7 days since i took them,and i didn'tget any symptoms unitl after i took them, but i figured it was the incubatin period of the std also, and maybe i'd taken the pills too soon like i said.
My girlfriend and I each took 10 days of Doxycycline and a single 500mg dose of Cefixime (Suprex). All sympyoms subsided on day 8 or so and discontinued Doxy after 10 day course.
Two days later, began having to urinate constantly and mild pain returned to urethra. Discomfort also in the prostate. The next day, significant prostate pain and increasing urethral discomfort. Went to ER, prescribed Cipro 2x day (250mg each) for 10 days and 1g Zithromax.
i got diagnosed with chlamydia last thursday, the health advisor gave me a single dose of zithromax. then on the saturday me and my partner had protected sex but the condom split, he's been tested for chlamydia but we haven't got the results back yet, if he tests positive could i of been reinfected with chlamydia?
To treat Chlamydia the dose is 1 Gram or four 250 mg tabs. This 1 gram dose is also a recommended treatment for NGU . I am not sure what the other 5 pills are for. ( Overkill ?). I recommend sticking to the recommended dose to prevent side effects. But I strongly urge you to go in for exam as good follow up is best. Take care.
I went to the doctor about 2 days later when the discharge was yellow for sure, and did a blood test. I was given a single dose of Azithromycin (zithromax) and an injection of 250mg ceftriaxone mixed with 10mg lidocaine in the butt that day for gonorrhea and chlamydia, since it was likely I had one and/or the other. I let the doctor know a week later that my symptoms had not gone away (all the blood work came back negative). So he prescribed a week of doxycycline.
Recommended therapy is EITHER a single 1.0 gram dose of azithromycin or 7 days of doxycycline 100 mg taken twice daily for 7 days. Thus you were treated with the equivalent of 3 recommended courses of therapy. You should be quite comfortable that your treatment was effective and do not need follow-up or to abstain from unprotected sex with your regular partner.
Masturbation would have no negative effect on the effectiveness of therapy.
I hope this helps. You are clear.
