What is the Chlamydia Treatment service? 

As chlamydia is a common sexually transmitted infection, amongst those in the UK, the need for the Chlamydia Treatment service is essential. 

Individuals who may be concerned or affected by related symptoms, can speak to a pharmacist and access treatment for chlamydia at Allied Pharmacies.  

Who can access the Chlamydia Treatment service? 

The Chlamydia Treatment service at Allied Pharmacies, is generally only available for those under the age of 25 and are sexually active. Because this is a common way for chlamydia to be transmitted, it is important for these individuals to undergo testing at least once a year. 

Additionally, chlamydia affects anyone regardless of their age, gender and more. Therefore, it is important that when you start a new sexual relationship, both partners undergo testing.
