Ceftriaxone and doxycycline are recommended for the treatment of uncomplicated gonorrhea and Chlamydia co-infection. The other options require different treatments. A pregnant patient with gonorrhea and a yeast infection would require a different antibiotic for the yeast infection and may require special considerations for the gonorrhea treatment. A pregnant patient with syphilis would require penicillin treatment. A non-pregnant patient with Chlamydia and trichomoniasis would require metronidazole for the trichomoniasis.
