Azithromycin or doxycycline.
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. FLagyl if given for chlamydia are in cases of combination with broad spectrum cephalosporins and that too in complicated chlamydias like Pelvic Inflammatory Diseases (PID). Usually one gram of single shot of azithromycin is as good as 7 days of doxycycline. Either one of them is prescribed provided the patient's history is not a contraindication like arrhythmias or former heart problems in case of azithromycin as that can cause arrhythmias.
Talk to your infectious disease specialist and let them decide what is best for you.
I hope it helps. take good care of yourself and don't forget to close the discussion please.

Thank you for getting back to me
As i said 1 gm is the dose not 500 mg. Once taken in 1 gm usually takes care of it unless it's a complicated chlamydia . Let your doctor decide what to do.

Thank you for getting back to me
Azithromycin is 1gram dose not 500 milligram. Flagyl is not Indicated in simple chlamydia. So no need for flagyl and double the dose of azithromycin.
I hope it helps.
