No: the CDC recommends cetriaxone 250 mg, by an injection (shot) PLUS either azithromycin, 1 gram, or doxycycline, 100 mg twice a day for 7 days. See http://www.cdc.gov/std/treatment/2010/gonococcal-infections.htm

Do you experience discharge in the middle of treatment for Gonorrhea and Chlamydia? I just finished Azithromycin and Cipro and I'm now having discharge but before I actually did not have discharge. Is this meds clearing the body?

I did the treatment for Gonorrhea and Chlamydia on Monday (Z) and Wednesday (C). I believe I have had it months now. My question is how long does it take to clear everything up after taking the single dosages? 4-500mg Zithromax and 1- 500mg Cipro
