Several months ago, probably 2 and a half, i got treated for chlamydia with a one dose drinkable antibiotic that starts with an A I believe. I took the dose that morning before lunch and that night I had a glass of wine and then another glass of wine the next night. I was later told by someone that alcohol can cancel out the affects of antibiotics and I'm now scared that I might still have the infection. I didnt have any symptons before but now I have noticed an ongoing dull pain in my abdomen. I'm sure if it's just paranoia or something I should be worried about. Any thoughts?

You were most probably prescribed Azithromycin I g as it is the only single dosing drug used for uncomplicated Chlamydial infection.
However, it is a second line regime and there is limited data on cure rate - possibly less than 95%. The glass of wine taken daily for two days several hours after the drug will not abolish the effect of the drug.
You have not indicated any follow-up after treatment. Follow-up is an essential part of the management of Chlamydial infection and has many objectives, such as:
* evaluating microbiological test of cure (TOC)
* providing reassurance
* excluding reinfection
* following up partner notification
Please get retested at your local genitourinary clinic to eliminate your fears.
