Ceftriazone Injection

Ceftriaxone is a broad-spectrum, third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic administered via intravenous or intramuscular injection. It is effective against various bacterial infections, including pneumonia, meningitis, sepsis, urinary tract infections, and gonorrhea. Ceftriaxone works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to bacterial death. It is commonly used in hospital settings for serious infections due to its long half-life, allowing once- or twice-daily dosing. The typical adult dose ranges from 1 to 2 grams daily, depending on the infection's severity. Side effects may include diarrhea, rash, or allergic reactions. Caution is advised in patients with penicillin allergies or renal impairment.
