A member asked:
I have been given doxycycline after having an abortion too stop infection, would this get rid of chlymidia as well?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If taken correctly: Doxycycline is one of the most commonly used antibiotics for Chlamydia infection. It should be taken consistently twice a day for 10 days. It is always a good idea to have a repeat test 1-2 weeks after finishing the medication, to ensure that the chlamydia is gone (called a test for cure).
