treatment of chlamydia involves antibiotics. a convenient single-dose therapy for chlamydia is 1 gram of azithromycin (zithromax zmax) by mouth. alternative treatments are often used however because of the high cost of this medication. the most common alternative treatment is a 100-milligram oral dose of doxycycline (vibramycin oracea adoxa atridox and others) twice per day for seven days. unlike gonorrhea there has been little if any resistance of chlamydia to currently used antibiotics. there are many other antibiotics that also have been effective against chlamydia. as with gonorrhea a condom or other protective barrier prevents the spread of the infection.
