total dosage required to cure gonorrhea

Posted by deano4

I have been prescribed antibiotics Cipmox (250g) for Gonorrhea, I have lost the literature and dont remember the dosage required to treat the infection.

How many capsuals in total do I need to take and over what period of time?

Is it one single dosage or do I need to take capsuals over a period of a week?

Thanks for your help

The usual dose for Gonorrhea (Acute uncomplicated anogenital and urethral infections due
to N gonorrhoeae): 3 g (12 capsules of Cipmox 250mg) ORALLY as a single one time dose.
(source: Micromedex)

It's best to call your doctor to see what is appropriate for your specific medical situation.

Thank you for your reply, you have confirmed for me the dosage that i thought was required, however, one more question please:

When you say 'must be taken orally as a single one time dose' do you mean take all 12 tablets at once? That seems a lot to me or do you mean take them over the recommended period of one tablet every 8 hours until all 12 have been taken?

Thanks Kind Regards
