AT A GLANCE
Four Things to Know About Gonorrhea
Quick facts on treatment, testing, and follow-up. Read the detailed guide below.
OFTEN SILENT
Symptoms may be absent
Gonorrhea may cause no symptoms. Testing may be needed after exposure, even when you feel well.
INJECTION
Ceftriaxone is preferred
The recommended treatment for most uncomplicated gonorrhea infections is a ceftriaxone injection.
CO-INFECTION
Check for chlamydia too
Both infections can occur together. Testing and treatment need to address each infection.
FOLLOW-UP
Retest after treatment
Retesting about three months later is generally recommended. Some infection sites need earlier follow-up.
YOUR TREATMENT GUIDE
Gonorrhea Treatment: What You Need to Know
Clear answers about symptoms, testing, prescription treatment, and next steps.
01 · SYMPTOMS
When to Consider Gonorrhea Testing
Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection that can affect the genitals, rectum, or throat. It may cause burning during urination, unusual discharge, bleeding between periods, or testicular pain, but some people have no symptoms.
Testing may be recommended if you have symptoms, a known exposure, a partner who tested positive, or other risk factors. Depending on your exposure, testing may involve urine or samples from the genital area, throat, or rectum. See our STD testing guidance.
02 · TREATMENT
Gonorrhea Treatment and Medication
Start a private online consultation to review symptoms, exposure history, test results, medication allergies, and treatment options. A clinician can advise whether you need an injection, further testing, or another evaluation.
The preferred treatment for most uncomplicated gonorrhea is an injection of ceftriaxone. Oral cefixime may be considered in certain situations when ceftriaxone cannot be administered, but it is not appropriate for every infection. The provider will assess pregnancy, infection site, test results, and other relevant factors.
Because injectable treatment is commonly required, an online consultation does not guarantee that treatment can be completed through a pharmacy prescription alone. Your provider may direct you to an in-person facility for the recommended injection.
03 · TESTING
When You May Need Testing or In-Person Care
In-person care may be required for ceftriaxone injections, examination, or testing. Seek prompt medical assessment for severe or worsening symptoms, fever, significant pelvic or testicular pain, or pregnancy-related concerns.
Gonorrhea and chlamydia sometimes occur together. Testing for both may be recommended, and treatment differs between them. Throat infections and suspected treatment failure can require additional testing or follow-up.
04 · FOLLOW-UP
What Happens After Gonorrhea Treatment?
Avoid sex for seven days after treatment and until all sexual partners have been treated. Your clinician can explain partner evaluation, notification, and what to do if symptoms continue.
Retesting approximately three months after treatment is generally recommended because reinfection can occur. Gonorrhea of the throat typically requires a test of cure in 7–14 days; ask your clinician about follow-up based on infection location and treatment.

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.
How does online gonorrhea treatment work?
Online gonorrhea treatment begins with a medical evaluation. A provider reviews your symptoms, exposure history, and test results, then recommends testing, medication, or an in-person injection. The consultation can help you understand your treatment options, but it does not replace injectable treatment when that is needed.
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.
Can I get an online prescription for gonorrhea?
A licensed provider may issue a gonorrhea prescription online after evaluating your medical history and test results. However, most uncomplicated gonorrhea infections are treated with a ceftriaxone injection. An oral prescription is an alternative only in certain circumstances.
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. Gonorrhea of the throat generally requires a test of cure 7–14 days after treatment. Earlier assessment may also be needed if symptoms persist.
What if gonorrhea symptoms continue after antibiotics?
Persistent symptoms may indicate reinfection, another condition, or possible treatment failure. Contact a healthcare provider for reassessment and testing rather than taking additional antibiotics on your own.
