Question 1

after 7 days of taking 1g of azithromycin for chlyamdia my doctor wants me tocome back and get retested could i test negative ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: One gram of zithromax should clear up your chlamydia.  But you could need to be retreated.

Question 2

can i take 1g of azithromycin while pregnant for chlamydia? i find out i was pregnant a week ago by at home pregnancy test. or should i wait to see a doctor in person to be recommended something else

Accepted Answer

Yes: It would be wise to see a doc anyway to make sure chlamydia is the only exposure/problem you need to treat. However, the azithromycin is safe during any stage of pregnancy.

Question 3

if someone has chlamydia and they take  azithromycin and stops have sex for 7 days, do they no longer have it after the 7 days? if thats so, why does the doctor ask to come back 3 months later?

Accepted Answer

About perfection...: Life is not perfect. Not everybody who takes a recommend medication gets rid of her infection. Each human is different and may respond differently to the same treatments. The recommended medication is what works in most people. One should follow up with her doctor to be sure the treatment worked and of course, to discuss whether or not there is a need to check for re-infection in the near future.

Question 4

hi doctor, after taking azithromycin to treat chlamydia. when should i get tested again to make sure it's out of my system?

Accepted Answer

1-3 months: The standard recommendation is to restest for chlamydia (and gonorrhea) about 3 months after treatment. This detects both reinfection, in case of reexposure, and also the rare treatment failure. Earlier testing usually isn't done, but if reassurance needed, you can retest at 1 month. But not before that: any earlier and the test can still be positive from the initial infection, even though cured.

Question 5

oral sex and then next day white spots on throat. i went to the doctor and got (shot/azithromycin tablets) strep, ghono, chlamydia neg. bacteri infec?

Accepted Answer

Tested too Soon: I am sorry but there is no test that would pick up gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, or HIV the day after a sexual exposure.

Question 6

i have chlamydia and suspect i may have pid, will the zithromax prescribed cure pid if i have it, or do i need to go back to the doctor to be checked?

Accepted Answer

Go back: It's a good start but adding an injection of antibiotics and additional coverage would be wise and get you feeling better more quickly if it is pid. A pelvic exam and culture should be performed.

Question 7

hello doctor i have taken azithromycin for chlamydia for 3 days -500mg, 1gm, 1gm respectively.

should i have to taken it again due to overdose.?

Accepted Answer

You are treated.: The standard dosing when using Azithromycin to treat chlamydia is a one time dose of 1 gram. You are already treated. Make sure your partner is treated, and then you should be rescreened for re-infection in 3 months. Make sure you also had gonorrhea, HIV and syphillis testing as you are at risk.

Question 8

found out i have chlamydia 2 days aqo and all my doctor qave me was azithromycin powder while i was there nothing else no prescriptions just that will it be cured?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Azithromycin is as effective as doxycycline and is the treatment of choice for chlamydia infection. If symptoms do not disappear within few days, you need to see your physician again.

Question 9

my doctor just prescribed me one dose of azithromycin to treat chlamydia. my boyfriend doesn't have any insurance currently and needs this as well. is?

Accepted Answer

Don't share meds!: Your question's incomplete, so I'm not sure what you're asking. But I suspect you want to share prescription meds with your boyfriend. I would NOT encourage you to do so. How do you know he "needs" Azithro? More than you? If he does need it, he should see a physician. Azithro may not be the best treatment med for his condition. If insurance is a barrier, use HealthTap Prime for live doctor visit.

Question 10

about two days ago i had protected sex and bled immediately after. what does that mean? i was informed 2 weeks ago that i had chlamydia. i took 4 pills of zithromax in dose, as told by my doctor, and waited ten days after i took the dosage to have sex.

Accepted Answer

The : The bleeding could have been due to irritated vaginal mucosa (tissue). This is usually the case when an infection is present. You need to go back to your doctor for testing to make sure the infection is completely gone. Other causes may be: a result of rough sex, beginning of period, vaginal lesions. Regardless, a follow up visit with your doctor is in order.
Best of luck.
