Ask the Nurse

Our Clinical Nurse Specialist is in to answer your health-related questions regarding general self-care management.

Unfortunately, due to the large number of questions we receive, we may not be able to respond to all questions. We will, however, try to answer those questions that we feel offer the broadest interest. Please check back periodically to see if your question - or a related question - has been answered. And remember, these responses are for educational purposes only - they should not be substituted for advice from your doctor. If you have an immediate medical concern, you should consult your doctor. If you have a general home health care need, please e-mail or call us at 1-888-VNS-1-CALL (1-888-867-1225).

Question:
Is there ANY over the counter medication I can buy at a local store that will treat and cure Chlamydia, and do you know where I can buy it if available? Please respond as soon as possible; I really need your help. Thank you very much for your time.

Answer:
There are no over-the-counter medications that will cure Chlamydia infections. Consult with your physician about your specific clinical circumstances, and do not take any over-the-counter herbal or biological products that purport to cure this infection without discussing it with your practitioner. Attached is an information sheet on Chlamydial infections in women.
