: Yes, it should have. Most current treatment recommendation for anogenital chlamydia infection is 7-d course of doxycycline. You may opt to have a "test of cure" 4 weeks after treatment.

Is ONLY doxycycline 100mg twice a day for 14 days likely enough to cure PID caused by chlamydia?

Im confused by answers on previous questions; if the chlamydia caused PID, does it mean that 7 days of doxycycline would have been enough to cure PID? Why do several sources recommend 14 days of doxy in combination with other drug to cure PID?

Didnt have pid but ogbyn gave a second 7 day dose of doxycycline so woukd a 14 day dose of doxycycline and a rocephin shot cure gonarrhea & chlamydia. Even if its your second time having chlamydia?

My apologies for the earlier confusion. So the 14 days of only doxycycline 2dd should have cured PID caused by chlamydia, even though I had no other type of antibiotics in addition to the doxy?

Would a 14 day dose of doxycycline clear chlamydia and rocephin shot for gonarrhea? Or could I still have it? even if I havent had sexual interaction since Ive finished the treatment? No pid?
