Can Doxycyciline Helps To Treat Gonorrhea And Chlamydia?
Question: Does 100 MG of Doxyclyclne Treat Both Gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia alike If ypou treat for 10 days ?
Hello,
Thanks for the query,
Doxycyciline is a broad spectrum antibiotic and can treat both these infections.
Although the trend today is to use a single dose of cefixime for gonorrhoea and single dose azithromycin for chlamydia. But 10 day treatment with doxycycline is good enough to treat both infections.
Hope I answered your query. Let me know if you have any other enquiries.

Hello,
The shot you had may be a ceftriaxone injection. It is a cefalosporin and will act very fast.
You can expect results within 4 or 5 days.
Hope you get well soon.
