Can Ciprofloxacin Cure All Types Of Vaginal Infections And STDs ? Can It Treat Chlamydia ?

Just got prescribed Ciprofloxacin by a doctor to treat either an UTI, gonnorhea, syphillis and chlamydia . It was to take 1000mg a day. Does this cure all of them?? I have read mixed reviews and am seeing that it is ineffective against chlamydia. What do I do??

Hello ,
If you have taken Ciprofloxacin there is no need to worry.
Contraindication for quinolone drugs is an epileptic disorder.
For chlamydia you can take a course of Azithromycin or Doxycycline.
Best wishes
