Yes, Gonorrhoea treatment in Singapore can have some side effects, but they are generally mild and temporary.
Gonorrhoea treatment typically involves antibiotics prescribed by a doctor after proper diagnosis. While these medications are effective in clearing the infection, some patients may experience side effects such as mild stomach upset, diarrhoea, nausea, or allergic reactions. In rare cases, certain antibiotics used for Gonorrhoea treatment can cause dizziness, headaches, or skin rashes.
It is important to complete the full course of antibiotics even if symptoms improve early, to prevent complications or antibiotic resistance. If you experience severe side effects or allergic symptoms like difficulty breathing or swelling, seek immediate medical attention.
In Singapore, clinics and sexual health centres follow strict guidelines to ensure Gonorrhoea treatment is safe and effective, while also offering patient confidentiality. Doctors may also recommend follow-up testing to confirm the infection has been fully treated and to prevent reinfection.
