Anyway, to the question, the only antibiotic I am carrying is AmoxicillinAmoxicillin Amoxicillin-clavulanate Amoxicillin/clarithromycin/lansoprazole 500mg tabs, and have enough for 11 days of treatment at 500mg tid (34 500mg tabs). Is this likely to cure a Chlamydia infection? From reading studies online, I see that penicillin’s are not effectiveEffective strength cough syrup against Chlamydia, but equally AmoxicillinAmoxicillin Amoxicillin-clavulanate Amoxicillin/clarithromycin/lansoprazole is sometimes prescribed in pregnant women. Am I wasting my time taking it, and should I call the trip short (I plan on returning to the city in 6 weeks) or is the Amoxicillin likely to clean the infection up? If so, is there any specific follow up treatment I should pursue when I get back to the city? I almost brought doxycycline but, hey no chance of malaria in the outback :S
I realise I contradict myself saying there is no reason to think this could be a UTI, but either way - assuming worst case scenario of chlamydia, what chance does Amoxicillin have?
