Can taking Penicillin cure chlamydia? |
Can taking Penicillin cure chlamydia? Penicillin is not used to cure a chlamydia infection. Penicillin is usually used to cure syphilis. Amoxicillin, azithromycin, doxycycline, erythromycin, erythromycin ethylsuccinate, levofloxacin, and ofloxacin can ALL cure a chlamydia infection. A single dose of azithromycin or a week of doxycycline (twice daily) are the most commonly used treatments. Source(s): Personal experience. I am a pharmacy technician for a hospital. dr's usually prescribe forms of it to cure but talk to a dr to really find out. Dont try to treat it at home yourself but taking old meds. go to the dr b/c chlamydia usually doesnt have any symptoms. A. Chlamydia is curable with certain antibiotics like tetracyclin, erthyromicin, and azithromycin (but not penicillin, as is the case for other STDs). It is very important that a person with chlamydial infection take all of the prescribed medication, even after symptoms disappear. To be sure that the infection is cured, a follow-up visit to the doctor of clinic 1 to 2 weeks after finishing the medication may be necessary. Current research is focusing on the creation of rapid diagnostic tests and on the basic process of chlamydial infection. http://womenshealth.about.com/od/chlamyd... my dr prescribed 4 zithromax to be taken at the same time when I was diagnosed. I felt much better the next morning. apparently (although I am hardly a med student) azithromycin (zithromax) is an alternative to penicillin. |
