Finish your entire amoxicillin prescription, even if you feel better before the course ends. This prevents antibiotic resistance and ensures complete eradication of the Chlamydia infection.
Schedule a follow-up appointment with your doctor for testing to confirm the infection is cleared. This usually involves a urine or swab test, typically 3-4 weeks after completing treatment.
Abstinence from sexual activity during treatment is crucial. Consistent and correct condom use is vital for preventing future infections. Discuss safe sex practices with your partner(s).
Inform all sexual partners about your Chlamydia infection so they can get tested and treated. Untreated Chlamydia can lead to serious long-term health complications for you and your partners.
Regular screening, especially if you’re sexually active, is recommended. Early detection allows for prompt treatment, minimizing potential health risks.
Practice good hygiene, such as washing hands thoroughly after using the toilet and before eating. While not directly preventing Chlamydia, good hygiene supports overall health.
