A 33-year-old male asked:

Will 1g of azithromycin and 400mg of suprax taken together as a prophylactic 8 hours after exposure prevent gonorrhea and chlamydia? an additional 400mg of suprax was taken 24 hours later as well?

STD treatment: This would be highly effective. The additional dose of cefixime (Suprax) wasn't necessary and didn't add anything
