Accidentally split dose of azithromycin

[qdc3]

I contracted genital gonorrhea through unprotected oral sex with a partner and took a course of doxycycline (100mg twice per day for seven days). I received a injection in the buttock yesterday (though I'm not sure what antibiotic this was) and was also given a further course of the antibiotic azithromycin. The doctor wasn't very clear as to how to take the azithromycin and I took one 250mg tablet about 12 hours before realising that all four tablets were intended to be taken as a 1mg single dose. I immediately took the remaining 750mg.

My question is, given that I've had both an injection and a course of doxycycline, is this misunderstanding of the azithromycin (and the 12 hour gap between the first 250mg and the remaining 750mg) likely to mean that I still have the infection? Do I need to seek treatment or testing again?

What does  it mean when it say take 2 tablets orally for single dose? (Azithromycin) ex:8 am and then whn 8pm roll around take it again?
Also do u think it's a good idea for my partna get check as well for chlamydia Being tht they diagnosed me with it.

Hi QD, treatment doses are treatment doses, If you took less than prescribed chances are it did not kill all the different STD's. The shot most likely took care of the Gono but the tabs might have been for some other thing the doctor was trying to treat. I would tell your doc about this and obstain from sex till you here back.
