Brief Answer:
it's not a good choice

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

the first options in cases with chlamydia are either azithromycin or vibramycin.
The dosage depends on the infection but for urethritis (which I suppose is the case here) a single 1gr dose should be enough. Vibramycin should be used for a whole week at a dose of 100mg once daily.

I hope I've helped!
You can contact me again, if you'd like any clarification or further information.

Kind Regards!
