Is Azithromycin The Right Medicine For Chlamydia?

Hi I tested positive for chlamydia and was prescribed Azithromycin, which were 2 pills. I didn t know whether I was supposed to take both at the same time, so I ended up taking them 10 hours apart - does this make the medicine ineffective? Should I be worried?
