A member asked:
My doctor prescribed azithromycin for me & my partner for chlamydia, the prescription had 4 pills & each pill was 250mg totaling 1g ...the doctor ordered me to take only 2 of them & give my partner the other 2. is this the correct dose 500mg each?

Chlamydia treatment: No -- wrong dose. Either your doctor misunderstands the guidelines or there has been a miscommuniation. Each person needs 1 gram (four 250 mg tabliets). Reconnect with the doctor or pharmacy. You each must take another 500 mg right away, or you both need to start over with the full 1 gram dose.
