Allergic to Penicillin

by tj_aussie, Dec 04, 2007 02:24AM
What medication is available to me if I'm allergic to Penicillin and have contracted Gonorrhea or Chlamydia?

I'm unable to visit a physician for the next several months but have recently had an outbreak of symptoms that I'm sure are from Gonorrhea and may be able to treat it by ordering online.

White discharge and pain during urination for several weeks.  No other symptoms.

Thanks.

1) Get tested for gonorrhea and chlamydia before you treat yourself.

2) Neither gonorrhea or chlamydia are treated with penicillin.  Gonorrhea is treated with ceftriaxone injection and chlamydia is treated with a one time dose of 1000mg  zithromax or 100mg of doxycycline taken for 7 days, 2x a day.

Yes but if you research both ceftriaxone and zithromax / doxycycline they're dirivitives of penicillin and have warning regarding anyone with allergies to penicillin - otherwise they're the obvious choice.
