How often do you need to get treated for chlamydia?

Answer 1

Amoxicillin is not a first choice treatment for chlamydia. It's only used in pregnant women who can't take amoxicillin. That said, the normal dose is 500 mg three times a day for seven days. Pregnant women should be retested in four weeks, in the third trimester, and if they have a new partner.

Answer 2

You should be tested for chlamydia at least once a year if you're sexually active and under 26 years old, or if you're a man who has sex with men. You should be tested every time you have a new partner.

Answer 3

You only need to get chlamydia treatment once after you're diagnosed, as long as you don't catch it again. Depending on the medication used, you may have a single-dose treatment, or a seven-day treatment.

Answer 4

Amoxcillin is not a first-choice drug for chlamydia. It is used only for pregnant women, and only if they are unable to take azithromycin (the first choice drug). In that case, the dose is 500 mg three times daily for seven days. See your health care provider for effective diagnosis and treament.

Answer 5

Amoxicillin is not usually used for chlamydia except in pregnant women who can't take azithromycin. The medication is taken for seven days, and the infection is gone at the end of that week.

Answer 6

Uncomplicated gonorrhea is usually treated with a single dose of antibiotics (ceftriaxone 250 mg). More complicated cases may require different treatment regimens.

Answer 7

For most people, one is plenty.
