Do you need certain antibiotics to treat chlamydia or will ordinary amoxicillin work?

No Amoxy will not cure it..You need Doxcycilne 100mg twice a day 14 days or 1000mg of Azithromicin. But the chances are you also have a cocktail of other infections like Gonnoreah so get along to a Clinic and get sorted before complications set it x

Amoxycillin should do it. But Cipro will kick butt!
no you cant treat with just amoxicillin, you need to go to the clinic and get some specific anti biotics. dont leave it as you may regret it, all manner of nasty side effects with chlamydia if it isnt treated. dont be shy as it is the most commonist of stis and can be contracted not only through sex but sex toys too. hope you get your problem sorted.

Flagyl for both parties. But always check with your doctor.
Ask the Pharmacist in your local Chemists or ring up your Health care Hot-line and/ or Doctor surgery to speak to the Triage nurse.
U need the drug thats designed for that. Over time viruses become resistant to "basic" antibiotics. So then they have to DESIGN drugs to fight the resistant strains. Theres strains in Asia that have NO CURE! Also if you have chlamydia you ALSO have Ghonnorhea. The 2 usually co-exist together. So in other words NASTY, NASTY.
Treating an infection with an antibiotic that is not specific for that type of infection, will cause that antibiotic not to work effectively on other infections. Please see a health provider to get the right antibiotic for your infection.Untreated it could lead to other health problems down the road.
