If i take doxycycline for 5 days will chlamydia be cured?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
7 days: I assume you are referring to genital chlamydia infection as there are other types. Azithfromycin 1 gram given in 1 dose is the recommended treatment in most guidelines. Doxycycline 100mgs. Twice a day for 7 days would be an alternative. Do not use doxycyline if you might be pregnant.
