It's pretty cheap.  If you are very strapped for cash then try asking at the Dr. office and ask if they have any samples of antibiotics you can use.

Go to herbalhealer.com and check out colloidal silver,olive leaf extract,grapefruit seed extract,& oregano oil. These are very potent anti-viral/bacterials and I have used them for years. Read the testimonials of people who have had cures with these and other natural products.

Moxifloxacin is used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. This medication belongs to a class of drugs called quinolone antibiotics. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria.\n\nThis antibiotic only treats bacterial infections. It will not work for viral infections (e.g., common cold, flu). Unnecessary use or overuse of any antibiotic can lead to its decreased effectiveness.

Yes, and it should be.  I had it when I was pregnant (courtesy of my ex-husband) and we both Had to be treated with an antibiotic because it was causing me to bleed from an inflamed cervix.

No, antibiotics do not work on Viral infections.  Maybe the Dr. is concerned about a secondary infection of some sort.  Call his office and ask them.

Possibly the antibiotic had the effect you describe. You should get in to see an OB/GYN. They can advise you on the cause and all/if any treatment.

Taking bactrim reduces the bodies defense against the sun.  15% of those taking it experience this.  If this is the case with you, you would feel a burning sensation the moment you were exposed. Withdraw immediately.  You also need to drink lots of water with this med.  It gets into the system much faster.

Yes, as well as any antibiotic that will kill of the natural bacteria in your vagina.\n\nIf you develop any signs of yeast infection (itching, cheesy white discharge) tell your physician right away. He/she will probably recommend Monistat over the counter or a generic equivalent. Yes, you can go ahead and get it from the drug store and not consult your doctor, but it is in you best interest to keep him/her abreast of any changes in your health.

I believe the virus is called vaginitis.  It can be cured with medication.  You could just have a mild UTI.  I would definitely go to the doctor.

I have never heard of "cyotollic vaginosis", but most cases of vaginosis are caused by a bacteria called Gardernella, among others.  As I mentioned, it is a bacteria, and no treatment for a yeast infection, or fungus is going to work. The treatments for fungus and bacteria are completely different.  Both are part of the normal flora of the vagina and it is not transmitted sexually.  Sometimes, for unknown reasons, they both overgrow and become a problem.  Your doctor needs to determine which bacteria is causing the problem and treat it accordingly.  He/she can do that by taking what is called a vaginal culture and sending it to the lab.  The lab will then identify what bacteria is causing the problem and tell your doctor what antibiotics it is resistant to.  In other words, the lab will tell your doctor which antibiotic will not work on that particular bacteria, and which ones will.  \nI hope this is helpful to you.

One of the most effective treatment protocols for this problem is a combination of frequent vigorous prostatic massage combined with long term antibiotic therapy. The prostate has a poor blood supply and in order to ensure that a sufficient amount of antibiotics get into this gland, proper drainage is required. Regular massage combined with long term antibiotic treatment should solve this problem.\nIt is most important to ensure that your sexual partner be treated as well. If your partner is a woman, any recurrent yeast infections are a definite sign of her being infected with a non-culturable STD organism. The presence of these organisms can be proven with a PCR (DNA) test.\nIf she has this problem, an effective treatment is oral fluconazol combined with a topical antifungal like terconazol together with a prolonged treatment of a newer tetracycline analogue taken orally. Although macrolide antibiotics (long acting erythromycins) work, they can become problematic when combined with  oral antifungal medications.\nIncidentally, the reason why women develop vulval yeast infections 'down there' is because the mucous membranous lining in that area has lost its integrity from an underlying nanobacterial infection. This type of bug cannot be grown in a typical lab. Keep in mind that yeast is everywhere and opportunistic. Conditions have to be just right before it can make a home anywhere on your body.\nThe unfortunate thing is that a lot of healthcare providers aren't aware of this phenomenom so it's often treated erroneously.\nAlthough the fluoroquinolone antibiotics are very effective, minocycline has been proven to be very safe when used long term.
