Ceftriaxone is: used to treat gonorrhea as a single injection dose. Dual therapy for gonococcal infections (i.e., with ceftriaxone in a single intramuscular dose, in combination with either azithromycin or doxycycline) is now recommended to also treat Chlamydia.

What if you are allergic to Rocephin and have Gonorrhea and Chlamydia? Will the replace medications actually treat it? I keep reading the treatment to cure is Rocephin. What are the chances of something else to cure it?
