A member asked:
Why wouldn't taking zithromax an hour after sex, prevent the infection of chlamidia? as your body would have the antibiotic in it already.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: It takes more than one hour for the medication to do it's job - in the mean time you and partner can be spreading infection back and forth. Take care.
