How can Gonorrhea be treated ?
It is important that all medications are taken as prescribed, and that the infected person refrain from sexual intercourse during treatment. Antibiotics of penicillin derivatives such as ampicillin, amoxicillin, used to be recommended for the treatment of gonorrhea. Because penicillin-resistant gonorrhea is increasing, other antibiotics that are given by injection such as ceftriaxone or spectinomycin now are used to treat most gonococcal infections. Women who are pregnant should not take doxycycline and are usually given an alternative antibiotic such as erythromycin.
