Erythromycin is not a first-choice medication for chlamydia due to side effects and the need to take the medication so frequently. The correct dose is 500 mg of erythromycin base four times daily for seven days, or EES 800 mg four times daily for seven days for non-pregnant patients with chlamydia. You would be much better off with another treatment. See your health care provider for effective diagnosis and treament.
