Hello.
This afternoon I received a one-dose treatment for gonorrhoea and chlamydia after noticing symptoms this morning. I had had unprotected oral sex six days prior. I was treated with single dose of 1g azithromycin and 800 mg cerfixime. I ingested the medication under nurse supervision, however, I was warned I may experience some degree of stomach upset. Approximately 2.5 hours after ingesting the medication and whilst experiencing some mild stomach burning sensations, I suffered a bout of painless but voluminous diarrhoea. My main concern is, have I received a sufficient dose of the drugs, or have they mostly passed through me? Should I go back and ask for a repeat proscription? I did call the local healthcare hotline here in my province in Canada. The registered nurse I spoke with said that if the medication had been in my system for an hour or more then that was sufficient. However, I would really appreciate a second opinion.
Thanks!
