I'm not a doctor, but it seems like Flagyl is the wrong thing for chlamydia.
Flagyl is used for killing intestinal parasites (like giardia) and other internal infections.
Chlamydia is usually taken care of by azithromycin or doxycyclene.
But, like I said, I'm not a doctor.

Flagyl, or often known in generic form as Metronidazole is often prescribed in the treatment of various infections including chlamydia usually only after certain other medications have been tried.
You can usually expect the following antibiotics to be used in treatment of most sexually communicable diseases:
Recommended
Azithromycin (Zithromax) 1 g orally in a single dose
Doxycycline (Vibramycin) 100 mg orally twice per day
Alternatives
Erythromycin base 500 mg orally four times per day
Erythromycin ethylsuccinate 800 mg orally four times per day
Ofloxacin (Floxin) 300 mg twice per day
Levofloxacin (Levaquin) 500 mg once per day

No. Only Crystal Pepsi cures chlamydia. Darn shame they took it off the market. Try eBay.
