THANKS GRACE
BUT I'M STILL CONFUSE ABOUT FLAGYI . THE STD DOC ON THIS SITE STATED THAT 1GM OF FLAGYI WAS RECOMMEND THERAPY FOR TRICH (he sited cdc)BUT  OTHER WEBSITES RECOMMEND 2GM SINGLE DOSE WOULD YOU HAVE ANY INFRO,ON CORRECT DOSAGE FOR FAGYL,, MY REASON I THINK I MAY BE INFECTED WITH TRICH. , I HAD BAD EXPERIENCE WITH IT AND TAKING 2GM OF THIS DRUG REALLY SCARE ME
THAHK FOR ANY INFRO.

Flagyl covers the fungal side of things.  Doxy covers the bacterial side of it.  Some providers do recommend a longer course of oral antibiotics when urethritis doesn't respond to typical doses.  Azithromycin covers mycloplasma.  Sometimes it takes some trial and error to figure out what is the cause and treat it properly.  I'm sure it's very frustrating but it's best to start out with the more standard, shorter course doses and then if symptoms return, then go for the longer course of treatment. most folks benefit from the shorter course.
