Positive for chlamydia. Treated with two tablets of azithromycin, still have symptoms after 7 days. What's going on?
I was treated for chlamydia with a one dose of 1g of Azithromycin two weeks ago and I am still having symptoms. What do I need to take now?
If azithromycin 250 is expired on 10/20 can it still be used to treat Chlamydia. I have 4 pills to make it a two day dose instead of a one time dose. Would it still be effective?
If I take an entire gram of azithromycin today to treat my chlamydia should I still take the two leftover 250mg pills?
