A member asked:
Why only a single dose of 800 mg cefixime is recommended for curing gonorrhea? would a repeated dose not have any benefits?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several antibiotics work well against gonorrhea in single doses, nothing unusual about cefixime. Treatment of choice is ceftriaxone by injection but oral cefixime works well. As it happens, I was the lead investigator on the original research showing the effectiveness of cefixime for gonorrhea. See https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1922235/ and https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8235928/
