Doxycycline 100mg is a common treatment for chlamydia. You’ll typically take two 100mg tablets daily for seven days. Always follow your doctor’s instructions precisely.
This antibiotic targets the bacteria causing the infection. Consistent adherence to the prescribed dosage is paramount for successful treatment and preventing reinfection or complications. Failure to complete the full course of antibiotics may lead to antibiotic resistance.
Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach upset. These are usually mild and transient. Severe allergic reactions, though rare, warrant immediate medical attention.
During treatment, abstain from sexual activity to prevent spreading the infection to your partner. Your partner also needs treatment to avoid reinfection. Condoms should be used consistently during sex even after treatment is completed, until tests confirm both partners are clear.
Regular follow-up appointments with your doctor are necessary to monitor the effectiveness of the treatment and ensure the infection has cleared. Your doctor will likely order a test after treatment completion to verify the absence of bacteria.
