Q: Reasons why azithromycin 500mg 2 pill did not cure chlamydia?

Are you sure it didn't cure? Can't tell by symptoms, only if a test still shows chlamydia. Even then, testing too soon can give false result; retesting shouldn't be done sooner than 3 weeks. Sex with an untreated partner, or a new partner with chlamydia, could seem like treatment failure but really a new infection. Azithromycin works less well in the rectum, from which cervix can be reinfected.

Question 1

Does a z pack treat gonorrhea or chlamydia?

Accepted Answer

One gram of Azithromycin treats chlamydia.  Due to increasing resistance you need another medicine to treat Gono preferably an injection. Please see your doctor. Happy healing. Be safe!

Question 2

Tested + for chlamydia, my doctor prescribed me both zithro & doxy. and this after taking a 5 day z-pack. should i take both? 1? 0 if symptoms gone?

Accepted Answer

Five days of azithromycin (Z-pack) for chlamydia has not been studied formally, but almost certainly would be effective. For sure there is no need for that, plus doxycycline, plus another single dose of azithromycin. If your symptoms are gone, probably no need for additional treatment -- but have another urine test in 2-3 weeks to make sure it's negative, and no sex in the meantime.

Question 3

Is taking 4 pills from a z-pack (1,000mg azithromycin) as affective as a regular dose of 1,000 mg of azithromycin as effective for treating chlamydia? (one pill is white, and i think the other pill is pink)

Accepted Answer

1,000 MG of AZITHROMYCIN = 1,000 MG of AZITHROMYCIN, no matter what the packaging or pill color.  Different pill colors are very common if the pharmaceutical companies are different. Either way taking 1,000 MG should be the correct treatment for Chlamydia

Question 4

My gf and i both took 1g z-pack for chlamydia @ same time and had sex 5 days later. my dysuria returned, dr gave me doxycycline but said she is fine?

Accepted Answer

Though treating you with Doxycycline was not inappropriate , it certainly is possible that  your dysuria was not related to recurrent or residual chlamydia. Test-of-cure (i.e., repeat testing 3–4 weeks after completing therapy) is not advised for persons treated with the recommended or alternative regimens, unless therapeutic compliance is in question, symptoms persist, or reinfection is suspected.

Question 5

What prostatitis infection after hand job with oil?

chlamydia and gonorrhea neg.

doxy, cipro, (ciprofloxacin) z pack, no help. flagyl helped little.

what do i do?

Accepted Answer

No STD or any infection that might cause prostatitis is possible from such contact. I'm guessing your symptoms are some combination of urinary urgency, bladder discomfort, and/or testicular or low abdominal pain. Most men with such symptoms have genitally focused anxiety--pain from pevlic muscle tension not prostate. That all the antibiotics didn't help is very strong evidence against infection.

Question 6

Will a 1000mg dose of azithromycin cure chlamydia in a male that has had the condition for three to four weeks?

Accepted Answer

A single dose of 1,000mg of Azithromycin has a 97% cure rate for Chlamydia. Make sure your partner is treated so the germ doesn't bounce back and forth between the two of you. Also, use condoms to decrease the likelihood of contracting chlamydia or more dangerous STDs.

Question 7

I'm wondering can the single dose of zithromax cure chlamydia and pid at the same time?

Accepted Answer

No.  A single dose, 1 gram, of Azithromycin, is acceptable treatment for chlamydia.  PID, however, is often polymicrobial - caused by more than one bacteria - and, as such, one needs other antibiotics, as well.  PID is a serious infection and should be treated by your provider.

Question 8

Does azithromycin cure chlamydia?

Accepted Answer

Azithromycin 1 gram in a single dose.

Question 9

Reasons why azithromycin 500mg 2 pill did not cure chlamydia?

Accepted Answer

Are you sure it didn&#x27;t cure? Can&#x27;t tell by symptoms, only if a test still shows chlamydia. Even then, testing too soon can give false result; retesting shouldn&#x27;t be done sooner than 3 weeks. Sex with an untreated partner, or a new partner with chlamydia, could seem like treatment failure but really a new infection. Azithromycin works less well in the rectum, from which cervix can be reinfected.

Question 10

If i take azithromycin to cure chlamydia, can i retest a week later to see if im clear?

Accepted Answer

Chlamydia is treated successfully by Azithromycin, but retesting is more accurate if done in 10 days to two weeks after finishing a course of antibiotics, as resistance to a specific antibiotic may occur.  Your sexual contacts and any of their respective contacts should be treated as well to limit as much as possible the chance for recurrent infection.
