Podcast 626: Updated Gonorrhea Treatment

Podcast 626: Updated Gonorrhea Treatment

Educational Pearls:

  • The CDC has made new formal recommendations for treating Gonorrhea due to increasing resistance to Rocephin and Azithromycin.
  • New recommendations:
    • Confirmed gonorrhea: Ceftriaxone 500 mg once
    • Empiric treatment: Ceftriaxone 500 mg once followed by 7 days Doxycycline 100 mg BID
    • No longer using Azithromycin due to high resistance
  • Second line:
    • Gentamycin IM
    • Cefixime 800 mg oral
  • Pharyngeal involvement has high resistance rates to second line agents and ceftriaxone is strongly preferred
