A member asked:
Hello. i was wondering if a z-pack would cure chlamydia? the single dose is 1g at once. but would the five day pack work as well?

Understanding med: This one will cure it. It is different from many antibiotics in its mechanics. Others you take daily for a long while because it doesn't stay in your system long enough to work unless you take it every day and sometimes several times a day.This one is absorbed into your bodies fat cells and leaks into the blood slowly over a week or more.Taken all at once (1gm) it works fine.
