Chlamydia is simple to treat with antibiotics, either a single dose or a course lasting up to two weeks:
Treatment of Chlamydia:
* Doxycycline 100 mg 2-3 times a day for 10-14 days
* Zithromax® (azithromycin) 1.0 gm (4 x 250 mg) a single dose
* Zithromax® Z-pak® (azithromycin) - 500mg on day 1, followed by 1 tab (250mg) once a day for 4 more days
To avoid re-infection, any sexual partners should be treated too. Treating gonorrhea is advocated for patients being treated for chlamydia, and vice versa (50% have both infections together).

Chlamydia can be cured with antibiotics. The disease does not cause long-term problems if it is treated before complications develop. Untreated chlamydia can lead to many complications.
Treatment is recommended for:
People who have positive chlamydia tests.
Sex partners within the last 60 days of people diagnosed with chlamydia—even if they do not have symptoms.
Newborns of women who have chlamydia at the time of delivery.
It is important to not have sex for 7 days after treatment for chlamydia.
If you are treated for chlamydia and your sex partner is not, you will probably become infected again. Encourage your partner to get treated. Use condoms to lower the chance of reinfection.

There are several very safe, effective and inexpensive treatments for chlamydia. Antibiotics may include doxycycline, azithromycin, ofloxacin, or erythromycin. Antibiotics to eradicate both chlamydia and gonorrhea are usually given to high-risk populations since both types of bacteria commonly coexist.
Up to 95 percent of people with chlamydia are effectively cured with one course of antibiotics. Without treatment, some women will develop pelvic inflammatory disease that may lead to to liver disease, or to chronic pelvic pain and possible sterilization. Men may develop painful swelling of the testicles, sexually acquired reactive arthritis or Reiter syndrome.
Sexual partners of infected patients should also be treated.
Prevention of Chlamydia
All sexually active persons should consider being tested for Chlamydia in order to stop transmitting it and to decrease the likelihood of complications such as pelvic inflammatory disease. Latex condoms used consistently and correctly are an effective means for preventing disease (and pregnancy). Talk openly with your partner about STDs, HIV, and hepatitis B infection, and the use of contraception.
