Antibiotics for thrush in men

Antibiotics are almost never used, because often they are the cause of thrush development. But sometimes, in exceptional cases, if the cause is a bacterial infection, antibiotics can be prescribed. But first you need to conduct a microbiological study (bacteriological culture), which will identify the causative agent of the disease, determine its sensitivity to the available antibiotic drugs. Sensitivity can be individual. Also, the optimal dosage and concentration of the drug should be individually selected.

Ciprofloxacin

In most cases, it is recommended to take broad-spectrum antibiotics. For example, ciprofloxacin has proved to be well - it is one of the most powerful antibiotics that will quickly rid of bacterial infection and reduce or completely remove the symptoms of thrush.

Ciprofloxacin is advisable to take 1 tablet (500 mg) once for three days. It is important to undergo a full course of treatment, because the bacteria can not be killed completely. This is dangerous because later they will become stable, and the pathological process will only increase. Thrush can spread to other parts of the body. So, the thrush with wrong treatment often affects the rectum, causing proctitis, and then disturbances of the intestinal microflora. Thrush is also found in the mouth and throat.

In some cases, thrush is accompanied by severe itching, burning, irritation in the perineum, urogenital tract. In this case, it is advisable to prescribe antihistamines.

For example, suprastin has proven itself well. It is taken 1 tablet 2-3 times a day. Dosage is chosen by the doctor, based on various criteria. It must be taken into account that the drug causes drowsiness and delayed reaction. This should be taken into account for drivers of vehicles, as well as for persons whose work requires increased concentration of attention.

With the ineffectiveness of suprastin, it is recommended to take loratodine. It is taken 1 tablet a day, as it is a drug of prolonged action. The duration of its action is a day.

Tetracycline from thrush in men

It is an antibiotic that belongs to the same group of tetracyclines. Produced in the form of tablets with a dosage of 100 mg. It is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that aims to inhibit the synthesis of proteins. Has a bacteriostatic effect, in some cases (when taking twice the dosage), can have a bactericidal effect.

It shows high activity against the main groups of microorganisms: these are Gram-positive, and Gram-negative microorganisms, and rickettsia. Alternatively, it can have an effect on viruses, by destroying it along with the affected cell. However, they should be used with caution, since this is a very strong drug that, together with the therapeutic effect, can have a negative effect on the immune system, even to its complete destruction in case of an overdose

The drug is well absorbed. Approximately 66% is absorbed into the blood during the first 1-2 hours. Up to 65% of the substance binds to the proteins of the plasma part of the blood. There is a selective accumulation of the active substance in the spleen, liver. Particles of matter are discharged outside with feces and urine. Also part of the substance can accumulate in the tumors, if any. Removed from the body in unchanged form. Therefore, with caution should be taken in patients suffering from liver, kidney and spleen diseases. Also not recommended for people with a tendency to allergic reactions, with tumors in the anamnesis.

When treating thrush, it is recommended to take 20-25 mg / kg 3-4 times a day. The course of treatment is 1-3 days, and continues even after the complete disappearance of all the symptoms of the pathology. Sometimes the course of treatment is prolonged to 7, and even up to 14 days. As side effects are signs such as itching, burning, redness. The instruction notes that the drug can not be combined with milk, and other dairy products, because the antibiotic is destroyed.

Usually the drug is well tolerated. However, in exceptional cases, there are minor side effects, manifested in the form of dyspeptic disorders, dysbiosis, dizziness, headache. In some cases, photophobia, increased photosensitivity, allergic reactions. In most cases, the appointment of antifungal drugs with tetracycline is required. This is due to the fact that the antibiotic kills the normal microflora, its place is occupied by pathogenic and opportunistic strains, including fungi. First of all, the fungal microflora begins to grow, since for it optimal conditions are formed. Also, the intensive growth of the fungal microflora is promoted by reduced immunity.

Tetracycline is not prescribed for increased individual sensitivity, with intolerance to individual components of the drug. Caution should be taken in patients with blood diseases. It is not recommended to combine with preparations containing metals, in particular, iron. With simultaneous use with penicillin, the activity of tetracycline decreases, down to its complete inactivation. It is also important to consider that tetracycline reduces the activity of contraceptives, enhances the effectiveness of anticoagulants.

Gentamicin

Gentamicin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic. Refers to the group of aminoglycosides. The main action is bactericidal, that is, aimed at eliminating bacterial infection, reducing its activity and the degree of dissemination. Gentamicin has a high degree of activity, but it must be taken into account that it has numerous side effects, in particular, ototoxicity.

It is used in the treatment of thrush, bacterial and inflammatory diseases, prevention and treatment of fungal infection. Applied mainly if the other means can not cope with the infection, because this is one of the strongest means. It can have a positive effect on secondary infection, as well as various injuries in the perineum, urogenital tract.

The drug has virtually no contraindications. The exception is increased individual sensitivity, intolerance of the drug or its individual components. It is also not recommended in the presence of infectious diseases, including viral infections, as well as sexually transmitted infections. It is not recommended to prescribe for syphilis, tuberculosis, chickenpox, rubella, herpes, various skin diseases. It is also inappropriate to apply the drug for various skin reactions, open wounds. Due to the high toxicity of some components and the ability to penetrate blood and semen, it is recommended that you refrain from having sexual intercourse if you want to conceive a child, during family planning.

There may be side effects, such as burning, itching, irritation. There may be development of excessive puffiness, tissues are subject to maceration. In severe cases, atrophy of the skin and mucous membranes can develop. With increased sensitivity of the skin, development of dermatitis, allergic reactions, contact dermatitis can be observed. May develop increased sensitivity of the skin, urticaria, pyoderma, furunculosis.

If you take this medication for a long time, you may experience oppression of the adrenal glands. As a result, the state of the immune system decreases, colonization resistance of the mucous membranes decreases. It is also worth noting that, against the background of a decrease in the resistance of the mucous membranes, an intensive dysbacteriosis develops, which, in turn, contributes to the further progression of the fungal infection.

As for the drug interaction, it is not possible to identify cases of any interaction in which the properties of the drug would change. It is used for external use, applied to the skin in a thin layer, directly on the affected areas. It is recommended to apply twice a day - in the morning and in the evening. The duration of treatment is strictly individual and is determined by the tolerability of the drug, its effectiveness. On average, it is necessary to be treated for at least 2 weeks, but not more than 5 weeks in order to prevent relapse.

It is advisable to apply medications after preliminary soaking, on clean skin. Also, prolonged use of the drug may lead to systemic side effects affecting various organs and systems.

In exceptional cases, an overdose can develop, which manifests itself in the form of hypercorticism, in which body weight increases, swelling of the skin and mucous membranes are formed. There may also be hypertension, which is accompanied by an increase in blood pressure, glucosuria. When an overdose is used mainly symptomatic therapy, aimed at correcting the electrolyte balance. In this case, you must immediately stop taking the drug.

It is not recommended to use when taking aminoglycoside drugs (antibiotics), since cross reactions may occur. It should also be taken into account that the effect of the drug can be strengthened by imposing occlusive dressings on the area of mucous membranes and perineum.

Thus, thrush in men is treated, but it requires systematic treatment, strict adherence to the doctor's recommendations, an integrated approach.
