Brief Answer:
Hello. Keflex would likely not be effective for chlamydia

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Doxycycline or azithromycin are much more effective than Keflex in treating chlamydia.

You should discuss this with your doctor because, if I were he, I'd give you a prescription for either doxycycline or azithromycin.

Please let me know if you need any more information.

Brief Answer:
Sorry, no
