A member asked:

If i take docycycline for 5 days will chlamydia be cured?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

5 days to 1 week: U must go for a reculture to make sure it is gone as sometimes it can be resistant and you will need another course of a different antibiotic and make sure your partner got treated whether his culture is + or not!
