Chlamydia diagnosis and treatment
Chlamydia infection is usually diagnosed after laboratory tests on urine or a specimen from the penis or cervix. All sex partners should be tested and treated to avoid reinfection. Also it's strongly recommended to abstain from sex until the end of the course of chlamydia treatment.
Once a person have found out of being infected it's necessary that he notifies all of his sexual partners. They should be tested and treated otherwise he can be reinfected and chlamydia infection may spread.
Chlamydial infection is effectively cured with the help of antibiotics. Such way of chlamydia treatment is safe and acknowledged by the specialists. The most commonly used antibiotics for chlamydia treatment are Doxycycline, Erythromycin, Ofloxacin, Azithromycin (Zithromax). Penicillin which is often used for curing sexually transmitted diseases doesn't help in treating chlamydia. I strongly recommend Azithromycin to my patients because it has fewer side effects and can be used by both non-pregnant and pregnant women unlike Doxycycline or Erythromycin.
There are two commonly recommended regimens:
- Zithromax (Azithromycin) 1.0gm (4 x 250 mg) a single dose, or
- Zithromax Z-pak (Azithromycin) - 500mg on day 1, followed by 1 tab (250mg) once a day for 4 more days.
The patients who are afraid to have difficulty remembering to take a pill usually prefer a single dose treatment which is as effective as 5-days treatment. The regimen a doctor may recommend for chlamydia treatment depends on many factors: the age of the patient, his health status, the stage of the disease and others. Once a person have found out of being infected it's necessary that he notifies all of his sexual partners. They should be tested and treated otherwise he can be easily reinfected and chlamydia infection may spread.
As you see the treatment for chlamydia infection is quite simple but before taking Azithromycin make sure you have never had an allergic reaction to this or similar drugs. Also be careful taking other drugs together with Azithromycin.
If you have any of the following diseases
- liver disease;
- kidney disease;
- myasthenia gravis;
- a heart rhythm disorder;
- a history of Long QT syndrome
you need to consult a specialist for dose adjustment.
