Chlamydia Treatment Explained

“Chlamydia treatment is typically done with a course of antibiotics. The most common antibiotic used to treat chlamydia is azithromycin, which is taken as a pill. Other antibiotics that can be used include tetracyclines, erythromycin, and levofloxacin. It is important to take all of the medication prescribed to you even if your symptoms go away. If you stop taking your medication too soon, your infection could come back. Make sure to finish the entire course of antibiotics!”
