A member asked:

Can amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium tablets treat chlamydia?

Chlaymydia: Unlikely. Penicillins work by inhibiting cell wall synthesis and inducing autolysis. Since Chlamydia has no cell wall this is not appropriate therapy. Azithromycin or doxycycline are the best alternatives.

No: No not the appropriate antibiotic. In my community the chlamydia is not fully cleared.
