Question 1

does a z pack treat gonorrhea or chlamydia?

Accepted Answer

One gram : 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

can i get reinfected with chlamydia, after taking z-pack a week before? well the test come out positive or negative?

Accepted Answer

Possible: Azithromycin lasts for a while in the body after the last dose, possibly up to a week or more. However , it is certainly possible to become reinfected with chlamydia a week later. For more information , visit  http://www.Std-gov.Org/stds/chlamydia.Htm.

Question 3

hello. i was wondering if a z-pack would cure chlamydia? the single dose is 1g at once. but would the five day pack work as well?

Accepted Answer

Understanding med: This one will cure it. It is different from many antibiotics in its mechanics. Others you take daily for a long while because it doesn't stay in your system long enough to work unless you take it every day and sometimes several times a day.This one is absorbed into your bodies fat cells and leaks into the blood slowly over a week or more.Taken all at once (1gm) it works fine.

Question 4

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

Overtreatment: 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 5

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=1,000: 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 6

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

See 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 7

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

Doubt prostatitis: 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 8

can i mix my chlamydia medicine (1gm azithromycin powder pak) in a smoothie instead of just water? i have a hard time handling the taste of medicine a

Accepted Answer

Plan:  You can use smoothie, but small amount to mix meds, not full cap. It could be pediatric approach for kids , and medicine working with this approach.

Question 9

how does a male know he has chlamydia?

Accepted Answer

Chlamydia: Men can be fully asymptomatic. The chlamydia can be in their throat, penis or rectum, depending on their exposure. If there is no symptoms (commonly a penile itch, burning or discharge).  There is several ways to test such as a urine test or a swab designed to catch the bug for dna testing.
