Doxycycline OK: Fosfomycin (Urizone) is not normally used to treat chlamydia and probably not effective. However, doxycycline is excellent: the normal dose is 100 mg twice daily for 7 days. If taken relably, it is 100% reliable.

I got treated for vaginal + rectal chlamydia with doxycycline 100mg twice a day for 14 days. In case the infection also infected my upper genital tract, would the treatment I had likely have cured possible PID caused by chlamydia?
