For chlamydia treatment, doctors typically prescribe a single dose of 1 gram of azithromycin (Zithromax). This means you take all the medication at once.
Alternatively, a course of 500 mg of azithromycin once daily for three days is also effective. Your doctor will determine which regimen best suits your individual needs.
Always follow your doctor’s instructions precisely regarding dosage and schedule. Never adjust the dosage on your own.
Take Zithromax with a full glass of water. You can take it with or without food, but consistency is key; choose one method and stick to it.
Complete the entire course of medication, even if you begin to feel better before finishing all doses. Stopping early can lead to treatment failure and potential complications.
Inform your doctor about any other medications you are currently taking, as interactions are possible. Report any side effects promptly.
After completing treatment, you should undergo a follow-up test to ensure the infection is completely cleared. Your doctor will schedule this test.
