Chlamydia Treatment: Ciprofloxacin’s Effectiveness and Alternatives

Ciprofloxacin is No longer a recommended treatment for chlamydia due to widespread antibiotic resistance. Doctors now prescribe other antibiotics.

Azithromycin is a common first-line treatment. A single dose is usually sufficient. Alternatively, Doxycycline is another effective option, requiring a 7-day course. Both are well-tolerated by most patients.

If you have chlamydia, your doctor will determine the best antibiotic for you based on your individual health situation and potential drug interactions. They will also provide guidance on preventing reinfection and on testing your sexual partners.

Always consult your doctor for diagnosis and treatment. Do not self-treat.
