Suggest Medication For Chlamydia And Possible Gonorrhea

I had unprotected oral sex at a bachelor party approximately two weeks ago. I now have the symptoms of (penis leakage) of chlamydia and possible gonorrhea. I am attempting an online order of azithromycin and penicillin to cure this STD problem. QUESTION: what amount of dosage should I order and for what length of time should it be taken? Besides this issue, I am in great health (45 yr old male) with no other medications or allergies.

This type of complaint should be treated in STI clinics, so that they can screen further for any other STD. For uncomplicated genital chlamydia treatment is doxycycline 100 mg twice daily for seven days or azithromycin 1gm single dose. for those patient who has contraindiacation for this drugs they advise for erythromycin 500mg bd for 10-14 days or ofloxacin 200 mg twice day or 400 mg once a day for 7 days are adviced. Sexual intercourse is avoided in such a period. contact tracing is also necessary to prevent further spread.
