Shorter chlamydia treatment? study tests 3 days vs 7 days

NCT ID NCT05840159

Summary

This study tested whether a shorter, 3-day course of the antibiotic doxycycline works as well as the standard 7-day course for curing chlamydia infections. Over 600 men and women with confirmed chlamydia were randomly assigned to take either the 3-day or 7-day regimen. Researchers then checked a month later to see if the infection was cleared.
