Amoxicllin
Amoxicillin can be used to treat chlamydia, particularly in pregnant patients, but it is generally considered a backup option because of its efficacy. In pregnancy, Azithromycin is usually preferred because it is safe and more effective. Amoxicillin is typically used if azithromycin cannot be taken, mainly because it may be less effective than doxycycline or azithromycin.
Treatment Type: Prescription Medication
Treatment Class: Penicillin
