Question 1

can levaquin (levofloxacin) be used to treat chlamydia?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Cdc-recommended regimens for uncomplicated urogenital chlamydial infection in adults:
levofloxacin (levaquin) 500 mg once per day
please see a physician and keep your follow up.

Question 2

i had taken a 10 day course of doxycycline then had a rocephin shot 3 days later with a 10 day course of levaquin if i did have oral gonorrhea/chlamydia would that have helped?

Accepted Answer

100% effective: The ceftriaxone (Rocephin) alone would have cured gonorrhea anywhere in your body (genital, oral, anal); and doxycycline would have done the same for chlamydia. There is no possibility you still have it after these treatments.

Question 3

i had a rocephin shot on september 9 with a 10 day course of levaquin 3 or 4 days prior to that i had completed a 10 day course of doxycycline. i fear i may have had oral gonorrhea/chlamydia. was tested  two days ago could i test positive?

Accepted Answer

Repeat question...: ...and same answer. These treatments definitely would cure gonorrhea at any body site, including oral. Your repeat test will be negative.

Question 4

is levequin used to treat chlamydia?

Accepted Answer

Haven't hear of: Using it for this purpose (?). Treatment for chlamydia include single dose zithromax or  7 day treatment with doxycline, Erythromycin or amoxicillin. It is sometimes treated for 10 days.

Question 5

treated chlamydia with 7-day levofloxacin 500mg and then 3 day zithromax 500mg, tested negative after treatment, then continue to negative with pcr 26 days after exposure. now suddenly i feel urithritis 3 months after exposure with no sex? how???

Accepted Answer

: The most reliable treatment for chlamydia, now the treatment of choice, is doxycycline for 7 days. The treatments you had also are very good, but perhaps not 100% effective. See a doctor to confirm recurrence of urethritis. (The main symptom is discharge from the penis, sometimes uncomfortable urination. Urinary urgency or pain with urination, without discharge, usually isn't urethritis. Good luck

Question 6

a partner may have chlamydia. would levofloxacin 500mg per day for 7days work? or should i try to get doxycycline? could i take both?

Accepted Answer

Chlamydia: Levofloxacin will no longer treat gonorrhea. And, it does not in any way treat chlamydia. If you need treatment for both you will need a shot and then pills for chlamydia.  The shot for the new version of gonorrhea spreading around the world is known as ceftriaxone.

Question 7

can the hospital treat you for chlamydia without a test?

Accepted Answer

Chlamydia treatment: Usually a test is done to decide if chlamydia is present and needs treatment but there might be a time where treatment is given without a clear diagnosis

Question 8

can you treat a patient in the window phase of chlamydia?

Accepted Answer

Of course: The so-called window phase i assume is the period of time between infection and the ability to diagnose by serologic testing.  The organism is active and growing during this time and can and should be treated.

Question 9

can ciprofloxacin 500mg taken twice a day for 14 days treat chlamydia?

Accepted Answer

Probably: Cipro (ciprofloxacin) is not the drug of choice for chlamydia. However, if there is a positive test and if you have taken Cipro (ciprofloxacin) already, you may be cured.  The options would be to treat a with another antibiotic anyway or repeat a test for chlamydia.

Question 10

how do i treat my chlamydia? would it be oral or a shot of antibiotics?

Accepted Answer

Oral: A single dose of oral Azithromycin (1 gm) is the treatment of choice.
