Reply to "Cipro isn't working anymore for my Chronic Pouchitis"

I absolutely disagree that Zithromax is typically prescribed for STD's!  I would say that is a smaller percentage of the use of this drug.

I think you misunderstood my comment which was also not directed at you personally. It is typically prescribed for Chlamydia as opposed to other antibiotics being prescribed for that condition is what I meant. It is also prescribed for other conditions, such as UTIs. That was my  only point. It's also factual. It was meant to suggest to ANYONE using it that there are other uses of the drug apart from pouchitis, and conclusions can be drawn when pill bottles get left around or when it's general use is discussed. It's not a comment that was directed at you specifically, but for anyone using it for pouchitis. Not sure why anyone would take offense to something that is both factual and just meant as a cautionary warning. Presumably we are all grownups here and understand the suggestions/connotations that can go with taking certain medications. It's meant as a head's up, and not to deter anyone from taking it. I have taken just about every single antibiotic known to civilization in 25 years of treating pouchitis. I am well aware that Zithromax is prescribed for myriad conditions, but it happens to be a go-to antibiotic for certain ones, because of its potency against that type of bacteria. And in the medical industry it's a known go-to for those conditions.
