The success of the treatment for Genococcal Arthritis is decided by the accomplishment of two factors. The first achievement is the complete cure of the main cause of the infection. Second, the suggested treatment should track all the people with whom the infected person had sexual relationships and then employ the correct treatment for them in order to dissuade the further spread of this disease. Most of the infected patients are given a single shot of Ceftriaxone 125 mg for an immediate relief. This medicine can however be replaced by the oral dosage of Cefixime 400 mg.
People who severely allergic to medicines like Ceftriaxone, Penicillin, and Cefixime are advised to take a dose of Azithromycin (Zithromax) 2g. People suffering from Chlamydia infection, one of the types in Genococcal Arthritis, are recommended the dosage of Azithromycin 1g to be taken by mouth. Such patients can also consume Doxycycline 100 mg two times a day for a period of one weak.
It is a wise step to visit the practitioner after a week of taking the medicines. This step is most important for people experiencing rashes, joint pains and swelling even after completing the course of the medicine. This will help the doctor to detect if the infection has been permanently subsided or not.
