A member asked:

Is chlamydia usually with doxycycline, zithromax and tinidazole all at once? what else could it be treating?

Dr. Donald Alves answered

Specializes in Emergency Medicine

Combination approach: It is common to treat gonorrhea and chlamydia together. An antiprotozoal can be added if trichomonas is diagnosed or suspected by exam or exposure history. It is common for these to be found together.
