Patient's question:
I took Azithromycin and Ciprofloxacin for 9 days.Now the doctor prescribed me 3 boxes of..Ertai (the first character is unfamiliar), costing over 100 yuan. I have a lot of Roxithromycin at home. It says on the label that it's also used for this condition. Can I use this?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, there are currently many methods for treating this disease, mainly including:1. Primarily using broad-spectrum antibiotics. These drugs exhibit varying degrees of drug resistance due to individual differences. For this reason, selective medication based on the patient's drug sensitivity should be chosen to enable short-term recovery. In response to this phenomenon, drug sensitivity testing has become an indispensable part of effective treatment for mycoplasma and chlamydia. Through the results of drug sensitivity testing, targeted prescriptions can be provided, offering personalized treatment plans.
2. It is best for both partners to be treated simultaneously to achieve complete cure. Mycoplasma and chlamydia are primarily transmitted through sexual contact. Therefore, if one partner has non-gonococcal urethritis, regardless of whether the other tests positive or negative, the principle of simultaneous treatment for both partners is essential to ensure complete cure.
