Having a burning sensation down there after a weekend of high-risky behavior? Which antibiotics are used for chlamydia and gonorrhea? What options are available for pregnant women or true allergies for these sexually transmitted diseases?


Chlamydia and Gonorrhea are the two most common sexually transmitted infections in the United States. There was a fairly recent update to the CDC STI Guidelines, tune in as we'll discuss the preferred agents. Hello there, Pharmers and Friends, Mark with PHARMWYZE.
