Non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU) is usually treated with an antibiotic course to kill the bacteria that caused the infection
Healthcare professionals will give you more advice at the GUM clinic. If your urethritis is caused by gonorrhea, it may be differently treated
Treatment with antibiotics may be started before you receive your test results
Most people with NGU are prescribed antibiotic tablets or capsules. It may be:
Doxycycline (twice a day for 7 days)
Azithromycin (just once as a single dose)
You should return to the GUM clinic or sexual health clinic if the symptoms of non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU) do not get better two weeks after you start to take antibiotics
