It is but in higher dosesthere research that incorrect cipro dosage can induce persistence, so do not medicate yourself, but go to an urologist

Totally agree. You shouldn't ever self-treat for an STD, since so many of them have similar symptoms, but really different treatments. Chlamydia has more effective treatments than cipro, and they have far fewer side effects.
