A member asked:
How does treatment for pid caused by chlamydia differ from pid caused by gonhorrea?
5 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
PID: Pid is pelvic inflammatory disease and we treat both even if one of them results positive.

Common together: ...So usually treatment covers both. High dose Azithromycin fading due to resistance for gonorrhea, suprax more common. Rocephin (ceftriaxone) im for chlamydia. If moderate or severe symptoms, hospital admission for IV antibiotics is common.

Different Antibiotic: We use different antibiotics for gonorrhea we use either a shot of Rocephin (ceftriaxone) or oral antibiotic cefixime and for chlamydia we use either azithromycine or doxycycline.
