No.  That won't be enough of the meds at once to kill it.

Would it be better to combine two doses to get a full 1g all at once?

by auntiejessi, Jul 22, 2008 06:55PM
Yes, the 1 gm is all you need.

Even if it is 1g of the immediate release?  I took 500mg for 3 days then 1g yesterday.  Will that cure?

by auntiejessi, Jul 23, 2008 11:18AM
Yes, that will work fine.

Do you know how soon I can be tested after taking the antibiotics?  Also, just curios,how are you so knowledgeable of this?  And, thanks so much for answering my questions.

by auntiejessi, Jul 23, 2008 04:42PM
I would wait a month to test again.

I know all this stuff because I've worked in the std field for a loong time.  I have some of my qualifications in my profile, if you want to see it.  Just click on my name.
