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.
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.
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.
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.
Efficacy and drug reistance
Drug resistance to gonorrhoea is common in the UK. This means that it's 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.
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.
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.
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.
