I went to the dr. today and was dx with a UTI. I am pretty sure I just have a UTI but if for whatever I have an STD will the Levaquin that I am taking for my UTI cure chlamydia or gonorhea? I am taking 500mg for 6 days. Please help me.

It will cure chlamydia, not gonorrhea.

It MIGHT cure it, but its not on the preferred list of medications for it. I'd test in a month from treatment to make sure its gone. Many gonorrhea strains are now resistant to a lot of meds, and you want to make sure its gone.

Well my symptoms are gone so I assume it was just a UTI like they said. I just had never had a UTI before and thought for sure it had to be something worse than that!
