Antibiotics & STI Treatment
Choose a treatment optionAntibiotics and STI treatments in Europe
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and other community-acquired bacterial infections account for a significant share of European primary-care antibiotic prescribing. Chlamydia trachomatis is the most frequently reported bacterial STI in the EU, with the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) reporting hundreds of thousands of confirmed cases annually. Gonorrhoea and syphilis incidence has also risen across many member states in recent years.
First-line treatment for chlamydia is doxycycline (100 mg twice daily for seven days) or azithromycin (single 1 g dose) per current European guidance. Uncomplicated gonorrhoea is typically treated with ceftriaxone in clinical settings; cefixime or alternative single-dose regimens may be considered where injectable treatment is unavailable. Macrolide alternatives (erythromycin, azithromycin) and fluoroquinolones (ofloxacin) cover patients with allergies or specific resistance patterns.
Beyond STIs, broad-spectrum antibiotics such as amoxicillin and doxycycline are also prescribed for selected respiratory, skin, and urinary tract infections — always following clinical assessment that confirms a bacterial cause and rules out simpler symptomatic management.
All antibiotic prescribing on Prescrivia is decided by independent EU-registered doctors. Patients are encouraged to discuss partner notification, retesting, and prevention as part of any STI consultation.
How can we help you?
- What conditions are covered under antibiotics and STI treatment?
- This category covers bacterial infections that may be treated with prescription antibiotics following independent doctor review, including sexually transmitted infections (chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis, non-gonococcal urethritis), uncomplicated urinary tract infections, and selected respiratory or skin infections. Suspected serious infections require in-person evaluation.
- Can antibiotics be prescribed online?
- Antibiotics are prescription-only medicines in all EU member states and require a clinical assessment before prescribing. Through Prescrivia, an independent EU-registered doctor reviews your assessment and may issue a prescription where treatment is clinically appropriate. The doctor may also decline to prescribe if in-person evaluation, swab testing, or partner notification is needed first.
- Are STI treatments confidential?
- Yes. All assessments on the Prescrivia platform are handled under the same data protection standards as any medical consultation, in full compliance with GDPR. Information is shared only with the reviewing doctor and the dispensing pharmacy. Packaging is plain and discreet.
- When does antibiotic treatment require in-person assessment?
- Severe symptoms (high fever, sepsis signs, vomiting), suspected pelvic inflammatory disease, treatment failure after a full course, recurrent infections, pregnancy, complex drug interactions, or symptoms requiring swab/blood testing all warrant in-person evaluation rather than online prescription.
- Why is antibiotic stewardship important?
- Inappropriate antibiotic use drives bacterial resistance and reduces the effectiveness of these medicines for everyone. Independent EU-registered doctors prescribe in line with European antimicrobial stewardship guidance: only when clinically indicated, at the right dose, and for the shortest effective duration.
