How is Chlamydia treated?

In this section

Chlamydia treatment is easy to with antibiotics, either as a single dose or longer course for up to a week.

Recommended Regimens: Azithromycin 1 g orally in a single dose   OR  Doxycycline 100 mg orally twice a day for 7 days

YOU WILL ALSO NEED TREATMENT FOR GONORRHOEA IF GONORRHOEA  INFECTION IS NOT RULED OUT

Tell your doctor or nurse if you're pregnant, or think you might be, or you're breastfeeding - this might affect the type of antibiotic you're given. The antibiotics used to treat chlamydia interact with the combined oral contraceptive pill and the contraceptive patch, making them less effective, so check this with the doctor or nurse. To avoid reinfection, any sexual partners should be treated too. If complications occur, another treatment might be needed.
