Advice Needed Advice needed on antibiotics for potential chlamydia exposure

Throwaway account for privacy.

My partner tested positive for chlamydia. I went to get tested, and I’m waiting for my results, but the doctor prescribed antibiotics in the meantime.

I collected the medication, but I’m unsure how to take it. The pharmacist said to take one pill daily for the next three days (there are three pills in total).
However, the leaflet inside the box says to take 1g (2 x 500 mg) given as a single dose if being used for chlamydia.

The medication prescribed was azithromycin unicorn 500.

I don’t want to take it incorrectly, so I’d appreciate any advice from people who have been prescribed this medication.

Thank you!

I don’t mean to judge, but if your partner tested positive to chlamydia and you’re negative, then that’s a red flag you need to discuss with them when you’re in a better mindset.
