Question 1

does keflex treat stds?

Accepted Answer

Keflex: Its an alternative to treat bacterial infections.

Question 2

std treatment question... chlamydia/gonhorreha     or uti 26 female.
43 year old male.
he went in for uti couldn't diagnose so treated him for uti chlamydia and gonhorrea... i had azythromycin and keflex for other illness during same treatment of his issu

Accepted Answer

The : The medication you took does not usually cover gonorrhea, however the Azithromycin would treat the chlamydia. To be safe, you should go to your doctor and ask for an std check in order to rule out gonorrhea and chlamydia.
Best of luck.

Question 3

does penicillan or keflex cure stds?

Accepted Answer

Killing bacteria: Both these drugs act by damaging the bacterial cell wall during cell replication.  They cure std's by killing the infecting bacteria if they are susceptible to the drugs.

Question 4

i was prescribed keflex (500 mg 10 days)for uti symptoms. if it turns out to be a std could this antibiotic clear it up? or cause an inaccurate tests

Accepted Answer

Depends: On what kind of STD.  Keflex does not cover many STDs and thus you will need to be sure that your problem has been treated properly.  It may affect culture test for bacteria when you are on an antibiotic- &gt; false negative.

Question 5

could bring on an antibiotic like keflex give a false positive result on an oraquick oral test? i havent taken the std hiv test yet but want to make sure first?

Accepted Answer

Do a blood test: Oraquick is not a diagnostic tool for HIV. Any result (positive or negative) needs to be reevaluated with a blood test for either nucleic acids (virus), antibody or antigen. If you have unprotected sex, sex with someone who is HIV positive or in a high risk group, you should have a blood test at 14 days and at 6 months post exposure. Talk to a Dr about using PreP. Keflex not a problem.

Question 6

reoccurring utis, on keflex. currently have really bad thrush. 1 tablet didn't help. sexually active never got tested for stds, always had safe sex. ?

Accepted Answer

Culture urine: Keflex isn't the best antibiotic for a UTI.  Its possible that the bacteria causing the infection is resistant to Keflex.    A urine culture will tell you what the organism is and what antibiotics will treat it.  Taking a Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) or Macrobid just after each episode of intercourse will stop frequent UTIs in most women.   Thrush is hard to get rid of.  It may take several weeks of treatment...

Question 7

does the antibiotic keflex cure possible stds i see that it cures bacterial infections and a std is bacterial soooo?

Accepted Answer

Nope, won't work: Cephalexin (Keflex) is not recommended or reliable for any STDs. A large dose might work against gonorrhea, but not necessarily. It would not work at all against chlamydia, nongonococcal urethritis (NGU) in men, or cervicitis in women. And not reliable against syphilis but still would interfere with testing for it. If you think you have an STD or exposed, get proper exam, testing, and treatment.

Question 8

i have a bacterial std. is cephalexin good treatment for an std like gonorrhea?

Accepted Answer

Please don't self-: Treat. Cephalexin has been used for gonorrhea.  Have you been diagnosed with gonorrhea? Or is this is a guess? Get proper diagnosis and treatment via a medical provider.

Question 9

how long after cephalexin for a uti can u do std test panel test?

Accepted Answer

: Sometimes even a single dose of an antibiotic can cure a bacterial infection. Since you took a reasonably prolonged course of a potent antibiotic, it could have cleared STD. Since we want you to get an accurate assessment of whether you're clear of STDs,I recommend calling your public health department and asking when you should have STD panel performed.

Question 10

for non-std prostatitis and epididymoorchitis,can cephalexin & levofloxacin be taken together?i'm now on the latter,but doesnt seem to have much help.

Accepted Answer

Probably won't help: How many times are you going to ask the same question to hear the same answer? Most prostatitis is "nonspecific", i.e. not due to any known infection. Although antibiotics are tried, usually they make no difference. If levofloxacin doesn't take care of it, probably no other antibiotic will be any better. You'll probably have to live with your symptoms, perhaps improved by bladder drugs.
