Answer
Why is Augmentin prescribed?


Augmentin is used in the treatment of lower respiratory, middle ear, sinus, skin, and urinary tract infections that are caused by certain specific bacteria. These bacteria produce a chemical enzyme called beta lactamase that makes some infections particularly difficult to treat.

Augmentin ES-600, a stronger, oral-suspension form of the drug, is prescribed for certain stubborn ear infections that previous treatment has failed to clear up in children two and under, or those attending day care.

Augmentin XR is an extended-release form of the drug used to treat pneumonia and sinus infections.

What are the possible side effects of Augmentin?
⢠Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
⢠Stop using this medication and call your doctor at once if you have diarrhea that is severe or lasts longer than 3 days.
⢠Continue using the medication and talk with your doctor if you have any of these less serious side effects:
· mild diarrhea, gas, stomach pain;
· nausea or vomiting;
· headache;
· skin rash or itching;
· white patches in your mouth or throat; or
· vaginal yeast infection (itching or discharge).
⢠Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome.

Special warnings about Augmentin


Augmentin and other penicillin-like medicines are generally safe; however, anyone with liver, kidney, or blood disorders is at increased risk when using Augmentin. Alternative choices may be available to your doctor.

If you have diabetes and test your urine for the presence of sugar, you should ask your doctor or pharmacist if Augmentin will interfere with the type of test you use.

Allergic reactions to Augmentin can be serious and possibly fatal. Let your doctor know about previous allergic reactions to medicines, food, or other substances before using Augmentin. If you experience a reaction, report it to your doctor immediately and seek medical treatment.

If you develop diarrhea while taking Augmentin, inform your doctor. It could be a sign of a potentially dangerous form of bowel inflammation.

Some formulations of Augmentin contain phenylalanine. If you have the hereditary disease phenylketonuria, check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking Augmentin.

Has the standard treatment for gonorrhea and syphilis changed?

The standard treatment was Penicillin- G, very large doses. Dosage depended on the stage, or length of time the person was thought to have the illness,
the age and weight of the person, stage of the illness.

Both these conditions are curable.

If untreated syphilis will kill. It causes dementia eventually. It goes into hiding,
silently destroying one's nervous system. It is easily detected by a simple blood test.

Gonorrhea is treatable. It can become systemic. It can cause serious damages to females and males. It is easily detected, and curable.
It is not uncommon for a male, single, or otherwise to come home from overseas and give his wife or girlfriend gonorrhea when they thought they were treated. It is a shame to not get treated. I am not interested in the
holier than thou hooplah. It happens.

Herpes II is not curable. It can be treated to reduce outbreaks and reduce pain. Herpes II is transmittable at all times , even when a person is not having
an outbreak they are contagious. Protection must always be used for
sexual activity, and exchange of body fluids should be avoided.
If a person has their Herpes II under control, limited outbreaks, and they
are exposed to someone with a more virulent case, they will take on the more contagious case. That was the last thing I read.

How to win this war? Prevention: Education: Care not to transmit these to someone else:Safe sex: Knowledge: Caring. He who rules others is strong,he who rules himself, rules the world. (his world) (her world). My goal is to control myself, take care of myself and not get or communcate anything like this to anyone else. If I have helped someone else with this information great.

I read a book about WWI and II nurses. The book related stories of how
truck loads of prostitutes were taken to front lines and to the troops by
the people. The troops became severely infected with syphilis and gonorrhea.
Well...I hope they were all treated. They came home, had sex, with people who had sex with people of all ages, and so forth. IF they were not treated, and if they had enough treatment.

I think the entire world should go get treated for syphilis and gonorrhea
whether they have it or not. Checked for Herpes II and HIV, taught in classes. Think it should be mandatory, all of this, all over to protect the
weak and the children. It could be done, city by city. Reduce illness and health care costs in the long run. Ounce of prevention is worth a pound of
cure.

Answer
Treatment of Gonorrhea:
Cipro® XR 500 mg a single dose, or
Levaquin® 500 mg a single dose, or
Tequin® 400 mg a single dose;

Syphilis
Syphilis is easy to cure in its early stages. A single intramuscular injection of penicillin, an antibiotic, will cure a person who has had syphilis for less than a year. For people who are allergic to penicillin, other antibiotics are available to treat syphilis
Tetracycline, erythromycin, and ceftriaxone have shown antitreponemal activity in clinical trials; however, they currently are recommended only as alternative treatment regimens in patients allergic to penicillin.

The tragedy is for those not diagnosed when they contracted the disease or were born with it, never tested. Transmission can occur to a foetus even during the latent period
The infection-causing organisms have continued to grow for years. Pockets of damage, or lesions, affects various tissues such as the bones, skin, nervous tissue, heart, and arteries. These areas are called gummas, and are very destructive.
It can result in permanent damage to the brain, nervous system, heart or large blood vessels (e.g., the aorta inflammation or an aortic aneurysm). Tertiary syphilis can affect the skin, skeletal systems, eyes, respiratory tract, and gastrointestinal tract (as well as the cardiovascular and central nervous system).

So innocent people were condemned to die. It usually surfaces in the middle years for such unfortunate patients.
I agree that all people should be checked for both.
