Drugs of choice for: gonorrhea are :Rocephin ( injection) , Suprax ( 400mg tab) Doxycylcine and rarely Levaquin- last resort. Cipro (ciprofloxacin) is not recommended.

Yes you need to take: both antibiotics for these diseases. However in recent population studies in the USA and throughout the world, fluoroquinolone-resistant strains of Neisseria gonorrhaea have become widespread, especially in more endemic areas with the highest prevalence. This means that it may be safer for you to seek a single dose Ceftriaxone in the arm or buttock for best available treatment method.
