I know that this answer is very late but may help someone in future.
I know amoxicillin can be used to treat Chlamydia infections but you'll need to take 500mg three times a day.
Please see dosage details below.
Usual Adult Dose for Chlamydia Infection
500 mg orally 3 times a day for 7 days in pregnant patients as an alternative to erythromycin in macrolide-sensitive individuals
Amoxicillin does not have reliable activity against Chlamydia trachomatis.
