A member asked:

I took chlamydia meds, seems the drug didn't work i had 2 suprax cefixime 400 mg and 4 sandoz-- azithromycin 250mg . does it make sense to take the same meds again if it didn't work before?

Gonorrhea shot: I am sorry to report but you may have been given the wrong treatment. You took the right drug for chlamydia, but the wrong drug for gonorrhea. There is a drug resistant gonorrhea that has swept the western world making all pills ineffective for treating this. Most public health and other std experts always treat for both gc and chlamydia.

Chlamydia retesting?: Did you get retested for chlamydia after the antibiotic rx with cultures? If not, that is your first step before re-treating with antibiotics.
