I have Zithromax but don't know how to take it.

by Steven277, May 30, 2009 01:21PM
So I came in contact with Chlamydia, I have symptoms, but did not get tested because my partner got tested and she has it so I know I have it. I have 6 pills of Zithromax at home at 250mg each that were prescribed before for bronchitis. I understand that Zithromax is also used to treat Chlamydia. I also understand that it takes 1000mg to cure chlamydia (correct me if i'm wrong). My question is, do I take 4 pills (1000mg) all at once or should I take 1 a day, 2 a day.. what do i do?

It is not recommended that you self medicate. The usual treatment prescribed is 1000mg of zithromax or azithromycin at once or 200mg doxycycline 2x per day for 7 to 10 days. It is possible she had a false negative so you really should get tested to make sure so that you do not put medication in your body that is not necessary.
