Brief Answer:
Treatment for secondary (stage 2 ) syphilis

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXX
I am sorry to hear that you are having syphilis . Let me explain something about syphilis .
Syphilis passes through 4 stages:Primary , Secondary , Latent and Tertiary .
Since you asked about the treatment for stage 2 but few facts about IInd stage:
==Presents with systemic symptoms .
==Fever , malaise and decreased appetite.
==Generalized lymphadenopathy.
==Rash:maculopappular , may be pustular.
==Mucocutaneous lesions.
==Condyloma XXXXXXX
This is highly infectious stage.
Parenteral Penicillin G is the preferred drug for treatment of all syphilis stages.
However , you just asked for stage II, so I am writing about this stage.
Primary, secondary , early latent stage==== Preferred treatment .
Benzathine Penicillin G
2.4 million units Intramuscular in a
single dose.(24 lac unit )


Alternative treatment ?if penicillin is allergic Doxycycline 100 mg orally twice daily for 14 days .OR
Tetracyclin500 mg four times in day for 14 days or AZITHROMYCIN as a SINGLE
2 gm oral .
Follow up :
Secondary syphilis
Clinical and serologic evaluation is usually performed at 6 and 12 months after treatment for secondary syphilis .
Fourfold decline in titer of NONTREPONEMAL tests within 6 to 12 months is indicative of treatment response.
This is all about stage II .
Now about your question .
Pentid 800 is safe .
Proper dose is one tablet two times in day ( but few advise three times in day till as above titer response).
Pentid 800000 u G is a oral tablet but in my opinion INTRAMUSCULAR treatment is the best .
Pentid G with other medicine , you should not take with other medicine because the drug of choice is penicillin , if reaction occurs then take other medicines.
Hope this will be useful for you.
If further any question I will reply .
Good luck.

Brief Answer:
Syphilis II stage

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXX
Thanks for asking the question.
Still , you can take CEPHALOSPORINS , salt is "CEFTRIAZONE " 1 gm intravenous or intramuscular twice in day for 10- 14 days.
But , once again , please first of all get drug sensitivity test because , you are allergic to most of drugs.
Still , if allergy to this drug , please get in culture and drug sensitivity test , so that most proper drug could be given.
Hope this will be useful for you .
Good luck , take care.

instead of intravenous or intramascular medication oral cephalosporin medication "ceftriaxone" can be taken? Aacef T(1.125gm) for 14 days will be alright for me?i've gone through net and collected the name of the drug.

Brief Answer:
Ceftriazone , ORALLY ???

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXX
Ceftriazone 1 gm is available ( also 2 gm ) only for parental use ( intramuscular or intravenous ) .
Since , you are young and not child , so please try to understand , this is question of your treatment , so you have to take it.
I know , you are sensitive to many medicines but they will first test it for any allergic reaction.
Good luck.
