Currently, the only recommended treatment regimen for pharyngeal gonorrhea is ceftriaxone 500 mg intramuscularly. No other regimen is recommended by the CDC. All patients treated for pharyngeal gonorrhea must have a test of cure nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) of the pharynx performed one to two weeks after treatment. If antimicrobial resistance is suspected, a pharyngeal sample for culture and antimicrobial susceptibility testing  should also be sent. @Everyone
