Patient's question:
Okay, here is the translation, keeping the line breaks as they are:Okay, every time I have sex, I don't feel any pleasure at all, and besides the watery white stuff that comes out, last Sunday I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up and was told I have vaginitis, cervicitis, and cervical erosion. Now I'm working together with the doctor to take medication for treatment. I take Azithromycin, Gongyanping dispersible tablets, and external capsules every day. I've taken these for a week, and now the medication is finished. Sometimes my lower legs still itch. I want to take another week's worth, but when I went to the pharmacy, I couldn't find the specific medications the doctor prescribed. Is it okay to take other brand-name medications with the same name? What is the difference in efficacy? If I have my period, can I still take the medication? Thank you!
What kind of help do you need: Is it okay to take other brand-name medications with the same name? What is the difference in efficacy? If I have my period, can I still take the medication? Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the main symptom characteristics are discomfort between the legs. You have already gone to the hospital for a thorough examination and have been confirmed to have a gynecological infectious inflammation. Anti-inflammatory drugs are needed for complete treatment. Based on your medication history, "Azithromycin, Gongyanping dispersible tablets, and topical capsules" are mainly for the treatment of infections. If there is no significant improvement after one week of treatment, it is recommended to return to the hospital for re-examination. There are many reasons that can lead to gynecological infectious inflammation, and different infectious inflammations require different antibiotics for symptomatic treatment. The decision of antibiotics is very important. Azithromycin is relatively effective against Mycoplasma and Chlamydia infections, but it often takes about half a month of medication to see significant effects.
