There are several crucial questions that a clinician has to ask, before developing treatment plan for Chlamydia. The answers to these questions may prove to be the very things that would make the whole process of designing a treatment plan easier for them. Also, the treatment plan that they will be able to develop would be one that would not cause any harm to the patient. An uninformed clinician is an unprepared one, and they will only be putting their patients at risk if they insist on pushing through with the treatment plan they developed based on incomplete data.

There were instances in the past when the wrong medication was prescribed, and pregnant women went through premature labor or worse, abortions. Some are also put at risk when it turns out that the medications used in the treatment plan are actually triggers to allergic reactions in the patient. Care and caution is much required. After all, this involves one's health, well-being and life. For the most part, treatment for the disease we are focusing on here is by use of antibiotic medications. Thus, developing a treatment plan in this case is all about figuring out the specific medications to prescribe. 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. Clarithromycin and ofloxacin are often prescribed to Chlamydia patients, but these are not for pregnant women. That means the clinician would probably make do with other medications that would be safe for pregnant women, and that includes amoxicillin. Erithromycin has also been proven safe for use by pregnant women. Asking them outright if they are pregnant or not would actually be the best way to find this out. After all, not all pregnancies are obvious so you have to be sure. There is also the fact that even some unexpected individuals find themselves to be on the family way. Prior to starting any steps to plan out a treatment plan for Chlamydia, you should definitely make it a habit to ask if they are pregnant or not.

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. These allergic reactions could actually worsen things, and this is a way for the clinician to see to it that there wouldn't be any problems that could arise if they prescribe the wrong medicine. But there are times when these medications could cause side effects. The challenge for the clinician would be to distinguish these side effects from the genuine allergic reactions.

The patient may have a regular sexual partner. This is another thing the Chlamydia patient should try to find out before he can start putting together a treatment plan. The treatment plan would also have the clinician prescribing medications for the partner of the patient. 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.
