What to Know About Gonorrhea Treatment Online
Learn about gonorrhea symptoms, testing, treatment options, and what to expect after treatment.
Gonorrhea Signs & Symptoms
Gonorrhea does not always cause symptoms.
Testing may be recommended if you have symptoms, a known exposure, a partner who tested positive, or other risk factors. Depending on the type of exposure, testing may involve urine or samples from the genital area, throat, or rectum.
A provider can review your history and help determine what testing may be appropriate.
Gonorrhea Medication & Treatment
The preferred gonorrhea treatment is usually an injection of ceftriaxone. Other oral antibiotics may be considered in specific situations, but treatment should be selected by a healthcare provider. Avoid using leftover antibiotics or medication prescribed to someone else. Gonorrhea has developed resistance to several antibiotics, so older treatments may no longer be appropriate.
Gonorrhea and Chlamydia
Gonorrhea and Chlamydia can sometimes occur together and may cause similar symptoms. If both infections are possible, testing for each may be recommended. Treatment differs between the two infections, and gonorrhea may require injectable medication rather than oral treatment alone.
After Treatment
Avoid sex for seven days after treatment and until your sexual partners have also been treated.
Partners may need testing and treatment to reduce the risk of reinfection. Retesting about three months after treatment is generally recommended because repeat infection is common.
Gonorrhea Treatment and Medication
Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection that can affect the genitals, rectum, or throat. Some people have no symptoms. Others may notice burning with urination, unusual discharge, bleeding between periods, or pain or swelling in the testicles.
Start your evaluation online if you have symptoms, a known exposure, or a positive gonorrhea test. A licensed provider can review your situation and determine whether you need testing, medication, or in-person treatment.
The preferred treatment for gonorrhea is ceftriaxone, which is given as an injection. An oral antibiotic such as cefixime may be considered in certain situations when ceftriaxone cannot be given. The right gonorrhea medication depends on factors such as the location of the infection, allergies, pregnancy, test results, and whether chlamydia has also been ruled out.
Start your evaluation online to review treatment options and next steps with a licensed provider. Some patients will still need in-person care for an injection, examination, or additional testing.
STI Testing & Treatment
When You May Need Testing or In-Person Care

frequently asked questions
Can I get gonorrhea treatment online?
Start your evaluation for gonorrhea treatment online with a licensed healthcare provider. Your provider can review your symptoms, exposure history, and test results and determine what treatment you need. Because the preferred treatment is usually an injection, some patients will still need in-person care.
Can I get gonorrhea medication online?
A provider may prescribe gonorrhea medication online when an oral treatment is appropriate. The preferred treatment for uncomplicated gonorrhea is usually an injection of ceftriaxone, so an online prescription is not appropriate for every patient.
What antibiotic is used for gonorrhea?
Ceftriaxone is the preferred antibiotic for uncomplicated gonorrhea. It is given as an intramuscular injection. The recommended dose is generally 500 mg for people weighing less than 150 kg, or about 300 pounds, and 1 g for people weighing 150 kg or more.
What antibiotics are good for gonorrhea?
Ceftriaxone is the preferred treatment. Oral cefixime may be used as an alternative in certain situations when ceftriaxone cannot be given. A healthcare provider should determine which antibiotic is appropriate.
What antibiotics clear up gonorrhea?
Ceftriaxone is the recommended treatment for most uncomplicated gonorrhea infections. Other treatment options may be considered in specific situations, including certain allergies or when ceftriaxone cannot be administered.
Can amoxicillin 500 mg cure gonorrhea?
Amoxicillin is not a recommended treatment for gonorrhea. Gonorrhea has developed resistance to several antibiotics over time, so taking amoxicillin or another leftover antibiotic may not properly treat the infection.
What is the gonorrhea treatment antibiotics dosage?
The usual recommended dose for uncomplicated gonorrhea is ceftriaxone 500 mg by intramuscular injection for people weighing less than 150 kg, or about 300 pounds. The recommended dose is 1 g for people weighing 150 kg or more.
What is the 7-day antibiotic for gonorrhea?
Gonorrhea itself is not usually treated with a seven-day course of oral antibiotics. If chlamydia has not been ruled out, doxycycline may also be prescribed for seven days in certain patients.
Is there a pill for gonorrhea?
The preferred treatment for gonorrhea is an injection of ceftriaxone rather than a pill. Oral cefixime may be used in certain situations when ceftriaxone cannot be given, but it is not appropriate for every infection.
Can I buy gonorrhea antibiotics online?
Gonorrhea antibiotics require a prescription and should be selected after a medical evaluation. An online consultation can help determine whether a prescription is appropriate or whether you need testing or in-person treatment.
Is there an over-the-counter gonorrhea medication?
No. There is no recommended over-the-counter gonorrhea medication that can reliably cure gonorrhea. Treatment requires an appropriate prescription antibiotic.
What medicine can cure gonorrhea fast?
The recommended treatment for most uncomplicated gonorrhea infections is a single injection of ceftriaxone. The right treatment depends on factors such as the location of the infection, your weight, allergies, pregnancy, and whether another STI may also be present.
How much is gonorrhea medication without insurance?
The cost of gonorrhea medication without insurance varies based on the medication, pharmacy or clinic, testing, and whether injectable treatment is needed. Your provider can determine what treatment is recommended before you compare costs.
How soon can I have sex after gonorrhea treatment?
Wait seven days after treatment before having sex and make sure your sexual partners have also been treated. If you had symptoms, they should also be improving or resolved.
Do I need another gonorrhea test after treatment?
Retesting about three months after treatment is generally recommended because reinfection can occur. Earlier follow-up may be needed if symptoms continue or if your provider has other concerns.
