Will a shot of rocephin (ceftriaxone) cure gonorrhea and a UTI at the same time?

I went to the clinic and had a shot for gonorrhea and asked them also to do a urine dip... being a county health facility they seem a little like they could care less... so when time came to ask about my urine dip they didnt have it requested on my charts to be done, and i was in pain from my UTI and didn't want to sit 2 more hours in their facility. I know i have a UTI since i have had chronic ones since the age of 4. So i read about the antibiotic they gave me and it states it is also given for UTI's... Will it be able to cure both at once? Or do I need to go back for separate treatment?

Rocephin can be used for UTI but the dosing is different, You had a one time shot (probably 125mg), the treatment for UTI would be different. Rocephin isnt the 1st choice for UTI either. You will probably feel better shortly, but it'll come back. You need a more effective antibiotic over 3-7 days.

You should get further treatment for the UTI. Sorry. Take care.

im sorry to tell you this but in the end you will realize I am right.

first, you need to get your knowledge right, gonorrhea is a UTI, so treatment of gonorrhea take the symptoms away in your urinary tract.

secondly, a shot will not cure infection due to gonorrhea if it has became systemic, meaning entered the bloodstream. Unfortunately, you can bet on gonorrhea spreading to your bloodstream within one to two weeks after infection.

thirdly, it is extremely hard to recognize a systemic infection. doctors expect you to be admitted to a hospital with a fever, heart problems, and lesions. but in reality, a person with a systemic infection may only have a fever a couple times a year (due to homeostasis), minor chest pains similar to post-exercise pain, and a rash that is purplish, similar to rug burn. There are so many manifestations that doctor's do not look into for gonorrhea. I know because I've lived through it.

The best thing to do is order drugs off line (if you cant get a prescription), the right drug. 125 mg of Rocephin does work, but only if they caught the gonorrhea infection only. After that a patient is usually hospitalized for a week and given 1g of rocephin every 12-24 hrs, until there symptoms disappear. You've got gonorrhea in your heart after a couple of weeks! And for some reason doctor's don't notice this. Funny stuff! I guarantee you will see symptoms later on in life if you'd have the infection for more than a couple of weeks.
