Important safety information
- Seek urgent medical help if you have severe lower tummy pain, fever, vomiting, or pain and swelling in the testicles, as these can be signs of a more serious infection.
- Tell the pharmacist if you are pregnant, think you might be pregnant, or are breastfeeding, as this may affect the treatment choice.
- Let us know about any antibiotic allergies or previous reactions before taking treatment.
- Avoid sex for seven days after starting treatment, and until your partner has also been treated, to reduce the risk of reinfection.
- A follow-up test may be recommended in some situations. Your pharmacist will advise when this is needed.
