A member asked:

Can you please tell me, should 2g of azithromycin cure gonorrhea and chlamydia?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not gonorrhea: It will treat the chlamydia, but not the gonorrhea. Usually need Rocephin (ceftriaxone) (an intramuscular injectable dose) to cure the gonorrhea.

Dr Anyanwu and another doctor agreed
