Chlamydia or Gonorrhea

by MrClean714, Nov 01, 2007 04:36PM
I am fairly certain that I have been infected with either chlamydia or gonorrhea.  I have a pack of 3 azithromycin tablets at 500mg each to be taken in 3 daily doses.  I was wondering if I took the antibiotic on the 3 day cycle, would it rid me of these diseases if I do in fact have them?  Thank you for your time!

How did you go with your azithromycin? I have the same problem as you??

What is the problem you have?

I can say up front that if you aren't sure what you have, then you should be tested instead of just taking meds.  Azithromycin will cure chalmydia when taken at the right dose, but will not cure gonorrhea, or bacterial vaginosis or yeast, or any fungal or viral infections.

You should find out what you have before you treat it.

Thanks, I was tested positive for chalmydia,  and given the wrong treatment and it just got worse, now Im on VIBRAMICINA for 14 days 2 a day 200mg. Im on the 9th day and still have signs of the problem..  Im starting to worry and just want it gone....   Can you tell me the right dose if I use Azithromycin

Thanks for ya help

The vibramycin will cure chlamydia, but it should have already worked for you.  (I had to google it - viramycin is doxycycline, is it not?)

If you take azithromycin, you need one dose of 1 gm.

Good luck!

one way to know if you have chlamydia, is if you have yellowing of the eyes,
as gonorrhea for the male is no orgasm when masturbating/ Intercourse, or ejaculating pus, as with tender penis glans, and chlamydia has the same problems, All i know is the yellowing of the eyes,

Yellowing of the eyes has nothing to do with chlamydia.  That's indicative of a liver problem, not chlamydia.

Also, gonorrhea doesn't have anything to do with orgasms.  

Check out www.ashastd.org for some really good std info.
