It might. Its not one of the preferred meds, and I don't know the dosage for it.

I did find this, and its for pregnant women -

Amoxicillin
Amoxicillin belongs to a group of antibiotics called pencillins. Amoxicillin is a recommended treatment of Chlamydia infection during pregnancy by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. However, it is not the best antibiotic for eradication of Chlamydia in other categories of people.

Augmentin is amoxicillin clavulanate, so its similar.

Have you been diagnosed with chlamydia? You shouldn't self treat if you don't know for sure that you have it.

Augmentin is not effective for treatment of Chlamydia. The recommended meds are Azithromycin and Doxycycline. Alternatives are Erythromycin, Ofloxacin , and Levofloxacin. Take care.
