A member asked:
Will chlamydia medicine also treat gonorhea if i have it?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not reliably: Antibiotic drugs are usually prescribed to target a specific germ based on effectiveness in research studies. The first line meds to kill chlamydia are not the same as those used to treat gonorrhea. CDC recommendations when both are suspected or confirmed include 2 separate medications taken at the same time.

No: There are medications that could possible treat both but generally two different antibiotics are used to threat a combined Gonorrhea/Chlamydia infection.
