Gonorrhoea treatment - how we can help you
This service is only for people who already know that they or a sexual partner have gonorrhoea. This service is confidential and lets you get the gonorrhoea treatment you need without leaving home. No fuss, no embarrassment.
Gonorrhoea treatment - how the service works
Register online and fill in the questionnaire. If it's safe to do so, one of our doctors will then send you the treatment. We'll normally dispatch your treatment next working day. You'll need to sign for it when it arrives.
Gonorrhoea treatment - how to take it
When our doctors treat you for gonorrhoea, they will send you treatment for gonorrhoea and a separate treatment for chlamydia. This is clinical best practice in the UK. You need to take both the gonorrhoea and chlamydia treatments as one dose.
Gonorrhoea treatment - potential side-effects
Like any medication, these antibiotics can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea or an allergic rash. In addition these antibiotics can (rarely) cause liver damage or blood clotting disorders.
Gonorrhoea treatment - 'off license' use
While the medicine our doctors will prescribe is recognised as a treatment for gonorrhoea, the medicine is not specifically licensed for this purpose.
Gonorrhoea treatment - efficacy and drug resistance
Treating gonorrhoea is not always straightforward as some variants of gonorrhoea can be resistant to the standard cefixime treatment. This is particularly the case if, in addition to your genital gonorrhoea infection, you also have gonorrhoea in your throat. If you could have acquired gonorrhoea in your throat by giving oral sex to the person from whom you contracted your genital gonorrhoea infection, you may need an antibiotic injection rather than oral medicines. In case you do have gonorrhoea in your throat, you should pay particular attention to any lingering sore throat that you might have. If in doubt, you should visit your local NHS sexual health clinic.
Gonorrhoea treatment - importance of test of cure
Because of the risk of drug resistance, it is essential that six weeks after you've taken the gonorrhoea treatment you take a test to see if you still have gonorrhoea. Testing before six weeks may produce a false positive result.
Gonorrhoea treatment - alternative treatment options
Through this website we also offer a treatment service for gonorrhoea that includes chlamydia medication that needs to be taken every day for seven days. Doctors can also treat gonorrhoea by injecting antibiotics, but this treatment isn't available remotely.
Gonorrhoea treatment - unsuitable patients
You shouldn't request this treatment if you're allergic to cefixime or azithromycin. You shouldn't request this treatment without a face to face consultation if you're pregnant, breast-feeding, or you suffer from liver or kidney disease.
Gonorrhoea treatment - sex after treatment
You must refrain from having unprotected (no condom) sex for at least six weeks after you have completed this course of gonorrhoea treatment.
