Gonorrhea too?: Hmm... something doesn't compute. There is no shot that treats chlamydia. Gonorrhea usually is treated with a shot of ceftriaxone, plus other drugs by mouth (azithromycin or doxycycline) which are good for chlamydia. If you don't understand your treatment, recheck withe the doctor's office: you have a right to understand completely! Make sure your partner(s) also are treated. Good luck!
