How Safe Is Taking Ciprofloxacin HCL For Gonorrhea Due To Green Pus Discharge From Genitals?
I had unprotected sex this week, and now I have green puss coming from my genital area, I am a male, and I know it's gonarrhea. I was just wondering if I took Ciprofloxacin HCL 500mg will that help at all. I'm going to the Dr. tomorrow, but I want to start treatment as soon as possible.

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Before starting treatment, the diagnosis must be established with investigations from the discharge. Ciprofloxacin 500 mg would not be very much useful in treating Gonorrhea as most of these organisms are resistant to Quinolins.
Sometimes taking Ciprofloxacin may mask the picture and pose difficulty in the diagnostic procedures.
