Hello there,
Please be patient, as I may be in the operating room, with a patient, or driving but will get back to you ASAP.

Treatment for gonorrhea includes cefixime 400mg one pill or ceftriaxone given 250mg shot one time. This would be the medication I recommend, however, you can take Cipro 500mg once also. Amoxacillin dose is 2 grams once by mouth and also 1 gram pill of probenacid. All these treatments are one time doses. You should be okay with the Cipro and Amoxacillin, however, there are other ones that work well also as written above. Hope this helps and let me know if you have further questions. Thanks.

Yes, the majority of treatments for gonorrhea are just single dose treatments. Please look at this chart I provided on the recommended treatment. Doxycycline is the only treatment regimen recommended for several days.I would recommend cefixime over Cipro however, as there can be resistance to Cipro and it is emerging.

Recommended Regimens
Ceftriaxone 250 mg IM in a single dose

OR, IF NOT AN OPTION

Cefixime 400 mg orally in a single dose

OR

Single-dose injectible cephalosporin regimens

PLUS

Azithromycin 1g orally in a single dose

OR

Doxycycline 100 mg orally twice a day for 7 days

Let me know of follow-up questions.

yes, it is the exact same.
