While chlamydia can be treated in a single dose, it's usually two pills. The single-dose treatment is one gram (1g, or 1000 mg) of azithromycin.
Persons with chlamydia should abstain from having sex for seven days after single dose antibiotics, or until completion of a seven-day course of antibiotics, to prevent spreading the infection to partners.
