A member asked:

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

A member asked:

If the half-life of Zithromax (5 day dose pack) is 68 hours, wouldn't that mean that I'm taking more of the medicine each day since it's a daily dose? Or is this not necessarily the case? How long would it remain in my system after the last dose?
