Question 1

does smoking weed stop chlamydia antibiotics from working?

Accepted Answer

No: Smoking weed does not stop antibiotics from working, but it can and does interfere with your immune response.  This means that although the antibiotics might effectively combat the chlamydia, your body may not do its internal cleanup operations (killing the rest of chlamydia, getting rid of their byproducts, etc) or protect you well from future infections.

Question 2

can smoking weed upset a chlamydia infection?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: A chlamydia infection needs to be treated asap.

Question 3

does smoking weed affect doxycycline for chlamydia?

Accepted Answer

No worries: No problem. Marijuana and THC have no effect on antibiotics or their effectiveness.

Question 4

will smoking weed change the effectiveness of azithromycin for curing chlamydia?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: We don't have a bunch of studies on the effect of illegal (feds) drug use on antibiotic use, but for most antibiotics this is never a problem for weed.

Question 5

Question 6

what is the chances of a antibiotic for chlamydia not working ?

Accepted Answer

Chlamydia: If the medication is taken properly it should work. Often the improper intake of the medication and the lack of treatment of the partner or re-exposure to the infection through unprotected sex is the reason for the failure of the treatment.

Question 7

my bf was treated for chlamydia last friday with 4 antibiotics and a shot. last night i gave him oral are we both ok since we didn't wait 6 days?

Accepted Answer

Probably OK, but...: Most likely &quot;4 antibiotics&quot; means 4 pills of a single antibiotic, azithromycin (total 1 gram). The shot was ceftriaxone, to cover gonorrhea in case it was also present. It&#x27;s usually recommended to wait a week before sex, but 4-5 days really isn&#x27;t a problem. But only if you were also treated for chlamydia. If not, see your doctor today; you both may need re-treatment.

Question 8

if a man doesn't take all of his antibiotics for chlamydia in 15' and his partner tested negative in oct 16' and now he has tested pos. is he cheating?

Accepted Answer

He was infected.: if in 2015 he was positive for chlamydia didn't finish his antibiotics he may still have had it. But, if he has had sex with his partner throughout 2016 and she was negative then he probably did NOT have it. Now he is positive again. This means most likely he has a new exposure to chlamydia. Please followup with your primary doctor to get treated and tested.

Question 9

i'm took my antibiotics for chlamydia, and a couple days later, i start spotting again.

Accepted Answer

Get a re-check!: I recommend you return to your doctor for a "test of cure", to make sure your infection is all gone.  Too, the antibiotics may have caused a secondary yeast infection. Take  care.

Question 10

been treated for chlamydia 2 months a ago with 4 pills taken at once. how effective are the antibiotics to clear up the infection?

Accepted Answer

Very effective: Treatment for chlamydia is very effective as long as there hasn't been a re-exposure.
