What are some medicines and treatments used to treat PID?

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is common among women.Inflammation of the female genital tract, especially of the fallopian tubes, caused by any of several microorganisms, chiefly chlamydia and gonococci, and characterized by severe abdominal pain, high fever, vaginal discharge, and in some cases destruction of tissue that can result in sterility.

The preferred treatment (outpatient) for PID is an injection of Rocephin (ceftriaxone) 250 mg and a course of doxycycline 100 mg twice daily for a full two weeks.
Occasionally a person will be hospitalized and given these medications intravenously.
Other medications cover GC or Chlamydia, but this combination has been proven the most effective in preventing long-term problems such as infertility, when the infection has progressed to PID.

Antibiotics, including:

Levofloxacin
Ofloxacin
Metronidazole
Ceftriaxone
Doxycycline
Cefoxitin

These are all oral treatments.

Hope this helps!
