What is the best treatment for complicated chlamydia std?azithromycin 500mg twice daily for 6 days or azithromycin 1 gm at once daily for 6 days?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Both are the same: The medication is one that binds to fat cells in your body and gradually enters the blood stream hourly.The 2 dosing patterns you list are not significantly different when you factor in the way the drug works.Some have less stomach upset when dividing up the doses.
