Getting answers to some questions would facilitate the development of a treatment plan for the condition known as Chlamydia. The clinicians may find it easier to actually develop a treatment plan if they have the information gleaned from the answers to their questions. They can also use the information they gathered to make sure that the treatment would not cause unnecessary harm to the patient. You have to remember that it is possible to harm a patient in the course of treatment (especially if, as a clinician, you don't have adequate information).

There were instances in the past when the wrong medication was prescribed, and pregnant women went through premature labor or worse, abortions. Another instance would be where you prescribe a medication that subsequently triggers a life-threatening allergic reaction. There is great need to be careful since these possibilities are always looming over clinicians' heads. Antibiotic medications are mostly relied on when treating the condition known as Chlamydia. If you come up with a treatment plan, that means you have to know which medications to be used. But before you could figure out which medications to use, you should have some questions answered first.

If the patient seeking Chlamydia treatment is female, the clinician should see if she is pregnant or not. Pregnant women are not supposed to make use of certain medications, some of which are used in Chlamydia treatments. That means the clinician would probably make do with other medications that would be safe for pregnant women, and that includes amoxicillin. Expectant mothers will also be safe if they take in erythromycin. Make it a point to ask them straight out if they are pregnant or not. Most pregnant women these days do not show too much, so they might think they are not pregnant when, in fact, they are. Pregnancy also happens even to the people you least expect to be expecting. It wouldn't be a bad idea to make it a routine part of every procedure to ask them whether or not they are pregnant before planning out the treatment.

Patients also tend to have some allergic reactions to certain drugs or medicines. In this regard, the clinician should take it upon himself to find out what these allergies are. This will serve as a guide for the clinician when they plan out which medications to use in the treatment for Chlamydia. Allergies could appear to be very similar to the ordinary side effects experienced by patients. It would be up to the clinician to make the distinction on which ones are side effects and which are the allergies.

Yet another question that a clinician has to ask before developing a treatment plan for Chlamydia is the one as to whether the patient has a regular sexual partner. If he or she has one such partner, it may be of great help to have the partner given medications as well. If you don't, the treatment plan would not work because there is the risk of the infection coming back if the partner is not included in the treatment.
