From the Merck Manual: Treatment of Gonorrhea For uncomplicated infection, a single dose of ceftriaxone Concomitant treatment for chlamydia Treatment of sex partners within the past 60 days and/or the most recent sex partner For disseminated gonococcal infection (DGI) with arthritis, a longer course of parenteral antibiotics Uncomplicated gonococcal infection of the urethra, cervix, rectum, and pharynx is treated with the following: A single dose of ceftriaxone 500 mg IM (1 g IM for patients weighing ≥ 150 kg) If ceftriaxone is not available, patients can be given a single dose of cefixime 800 mg orally. If chlamydial infection has not been excluded, treat for chlamydia with doxycycline 100 mg orally 2 times a day for 7 days (or a single dose of azithromycin 1 g orally for patients allergic to doxycycline). Patients who are allergic to cephalosporins (including ceftriaxone) are treated with the following: A single dose of gentamicin 240 mg IM plus a single dose of azithromycin 2 g orally Pregnant patients should be treated with a single dose of ceftriaxone as above; expert consultation should be sought for patients who are allergic. Chlamydia should be excluded or treated (1). DGI with gonococcal arthritis is initially treated with IM or IV antibiotics (eg, ceftriaxone 1 g IM or IV every 24 hours, ceftizoxime 1 g IV every 8 hours, cefotaxime 1 g IV every 8 hours) continued for 24 to 48 hours after symptoms improve, followed by oral therapy guided by antimicrobial susceptibility testing, for a total treatment course of at least 7 days. If chlamydia has not been excluded, doxycycline 100 mg orally 2 times a day for 7 days (1) should be added. -
