Chlamydia Treatment
Chlamydia is one of the most common STIs in the UK, and is also among the easiest to treat. A simple course of antibiotics can completely clear this infection in just a matter of days. However, though it is easy to treat, this does not mean the infection is not dangerous. If you do not take the correct course of chlamydia treatment, you run the risk of developing complications associated with the infection. These complications can affect both men - epididymitis and prostatitis - and women - pelvic inflammatory disease and damage to the fallopian tubes - with infertility a potential consequence for both sexes. These risks can be avoided with a course of chlamydia treatment.
What chlamydia treatment options are there?
Azithromycin
Azithromycin is a prescription antibiotic that can be taken as an effective chlamydia treatment. It is a relatively high concentration treatment which means it is capable of clearing the infection with just a single dose. This medication comes in the form of 500mg tablets. When prescribed as a chlamydia treatment, Azithromycin is usually taken as a 1000mg dose (two tablets) with a glass of water and on an empty stomach.
This chlamydia treatment is extremely effective and safe, but its high dosage means it may not be suitable for everyone. Some medications or medical conditions can affect the efficacy of the medication or increase the possibility of side effects. When you complete your consultation, you should disclose any relevant medical information so our doctors can determine if Azithromycin will be safe for you. Side effects, though rare, could occur in a temporary and mild form. They could include nausea, abdominal pain, fatigue, diarrhoea and a decrease in appetite. More serious or concerning side effects should be discussed with a medical professional.
Doxycycline
Doxycycline is also available on prescription and is a chlamydia treatment that can be taken at a lower dosage, making it more suitable for people who are sensitive to high dosage treatments like Azithromycin. Rather than being taken as a single high dose, Doxycycline 100mg tablets are taken twice a day over a week-long period. It is up to you whether you take the tablets with or without food, but they should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. It is best to abstain from drinking alcohol while taking Doxycycline.
