My girl friend tested positive for chlamydia. What are the antibiotics taken to treat it?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern. According to the statement, your girlfriend got a positive result for chlamydia recently. Patients with chlamydia infection may not know that they have it because they do not have any signs or symptoms. Chlamydia usually resolves within one to two weeks. You should avoid having sex during this period to prevent the transmission of the disease. Your doctor prescribes antibiotics once or twice a day for seven days. Then you need to wait for seven days before having sex again.

The most commonly used antibiotics for chlamydia are Azithromycin. They are given with two or four tablets and it should be taken once or tablet Doxycycline has to be taken twice daily for a week. As your girlfriend has been affected with chlamydial infection, so you need to undergo some investigations such as urine R/M (urine routine and microscopy), C/S (culture and sensitivity), and urethral or prostatic swab for culture and sensitivity for confirming the diagnosis of chlamydia in you. After that, you can start having treatment.
