new drug options and doses for treating sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in CDC's new guidelines
March 2011
You'll see new drug options and doses for treating sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in CDC's new guidelines.
Gonorrhea. Use azithromycin or doxycycline PLUS ceftriaxone 250 mg IM...not 125 mg. Dual therapy plus a higher ceftriaxone dose helps prevent resistance.
If you need an oral option, use cefixime instead of ceftriaxone...EXCEPT for pharyngeal infections.
