I have taken azithromycin recently to treat chlamydia tested by a urine sample. Will that dose also treat anal chlamydia or must I take a second dose of antibiotics to treat that as well? I just got back results for the anal chlamydia test.

If both the urine and stool samples were taken simultaneously or if they were taken on different dates but you have taken azithro after both of the samples were taken, you may not need to repeat the dose.

Being internal medicine, it should work on both.

Dear lybrate-user, complete dose of any antibiotic is enough for any concurrent infection.

Just take 3 doses for 3 days and it will be fine as it will treat any kind of bacterial infection in your body with complete course. Do not take excessive doses.
