Does amoxicillin cure chlamydia

Answer 1

Amoxicillin is not a first choice for treatment of chlamydia. The first-line treatment is azithromycin 1 g for both pregnant and non-pregnant patients. Only pregnant patients unable to take azithromycin are prescribed amoxicillin.

Answer 2

Ciprofloxacin is not used for chlamydia.

se against chlamydia and mycoplasma infections is now contraindicated; ciprofloxacin appears to be ineffective against these organisms, merely stopping their growth (and allowing them to resume growth after the antibiotic is withdrawn) rather than killing them.

Ciprofloxacin should not be used to treat chlamydial infections. It does not kill the bacteria in a person, and can actually cause the chlamydia organisms to become more resistant to treatment.

Answer 3

No, the bacteria that cause chlamydia (Chlamydia trachomatis) are not sensitive to cefprozil, as they do not have the cell wall structure that penicillin-like antibiotics like cefprozil require to kill bacteria. The preferred medications for chlamydia work by inhibiting protein synthesis and are of the antibiotic families of macrolides and tetracyclines.
