10 Chlamydia Treatments

2. One-time dose antibiotics

After being diagnosed with chlamydia, one-time dose antibiotics are similar to multiple-dose antibiotics, but the one-time dose is stronger than the multiple-dose. They generally have more side effects than the multiple-dose medications as well, because of how strong the medication is. But they also don’t have to worry about making separate appointments to receive their antibiotic treatments. These treatments also tend to be more expensive. Individuals who choose one-time doses over multiple-dose antibiotics are advised to avoid sexual activity for 7 days, in order to fully rid their bodies of the infection.
