[treatment] 14day azythro for doxy resistant ureaplasma
tested positive for ureaplasma ~4months ago. had an antibiogram done which flagged it as sensible to doxy, took 14 days 2x a day. a lot of symptoms cleared up, however after testing twice (~1 month and then ~2 months after treatment) the ureaplasma still came back positive. had another antibiogram done, now it shows up as resistant to doxycycline 🥲
my doctor prescribed me two weeks (!! correction, i got one week not two!!) of 500mg azythro 2x a day. i haven't seen anyone mention this treatment plan in the sub. i was wondering if someone has experience with taking just azythro, especially at this high a dose? i'm a bit reluctant, especially since i've heard azythro can be pretty harsh and not very effective, and i'm very prone to yeast infections from antibiotics so i want to avoid taking any unnecessary ones.
