Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium treponema pallidum. The treatment for syphilis typically involves antibiotic therapy, with penicillin being the preferred and most effective treatment. For the second stage of syphilis, the usual recommended treatment is a weekly dose of intramuscular penicillin g benzathine for three weeks. The typical dosage is 2.4 million units of penicillin g benzathine each week for three weeks. After treatment with penicillin, it's important to follow your doctor's advice regarding any additional treatment, including using doxycycline or other antibiotics. The use of doxycycline or other antibiotics after the initial treatment may be considered depending on various factors, including your response to treatment and any other medical conditions you may have.
