Yes it is.: The new cdc treatment guideline recommends combination therapy with Ceftriaxone 250 mg as a single intramuscular dose, plus either Azithromycin 1 g orally in a single dose or Doxycycline 100 mg orally twice daily for 7 days. So your treatment is fine.

Better ways: Recommended treatment of gonorrhea is Rocephin (ceftriaxone) 250mg one injection.

Can ciprofloxacin or doxycycline or cephalexin treat bv?
It depends on the STD. Cephalexin isn't normally used for STD treatment. It might cure gonorrhea or, less likely, interfere with a positive gonorrhea test. - does that mean my test result for Jan 2 and Jan 9 is accurate? I only had cephalexin 3days?
