This is not an antibiotic recommended for Gonorrhea. Antibiotic resistance is increasing with this organism, so I would recommend standard CDC Guidelines for treatment: ceftriaxone 500mg IM (weight <150kg) or 1gm (weight >150kg). Patients should also be screened for chlamydia and risks of other STIs.
