Doxycycline typically treats chlamydia with a single 100mg dose taken twice daily for seven days. This is the standard treatment regimen for uncomplicated chlamydia infections. Always follow your doctor’s specific instructions, as they may adjust the dosage based on individual factors such as pregnancy or other health conditions.
Alternative Treatment Options
Azithromycin is another common antibiotic used to treat chlamydia. A single 1-gram dose is usually sufficient. Again, your healthcare provider will determine the best treatment for your situation and will provide clear directions on how and when to take the medication. Complete the entire course of antibiotics, even if you feel better before finishing, to prevent reinfection and antibiotic resistance.
