What is Ceftriaxone
CeftriaxoneThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummaryCeftriaxone is an antibiotic used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. It is a third-generation cephalosporin that has a long half-life, which means it can be taken once or twice a day. It is especially effective against multi-drug resistant bacteria and has a relatively low risk of side effects. Ceftriaxone is better at fighting Gram-negative bacteria compared to other cephalosporin antibiotics, but it is not as effective against Staphylococcus aureus.

Effectiveness
How Ceftriaxone Affects PatientsCeftriaxone is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections that are usually caused by certain types of bacteria. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria and is resistant to many different types of enzymes that bacteria can produce. When taking ceftriaxone, it should not be mixed with any liquids that contain calcium, as it can cause the drug to turn into a solid. Taking ceftriaxone can also lead to a buildup of small stones in the gallbladder or bile duct.
How Ceftriaxone works in the bodyCeftriaxone stops the growth of bacterial cells by blocking the formation of protective walls around them. It does this by stopping certain enzymes in the bacterial cell membrane from working properly, which prevents the cell wall from forming. Without this wall, the bacteria are unable to survive and die off.
When to interrupt dosage
The endorsed dose of Ceftriaxone is contingent upon the diagnosed condition, including Otitis Media, Conjunctivitis and Sepsis Bacterial. The quantity of dosage also fluctuates based upon the administration strategy (e.g. Powder, for solution or Solution) featured in the table beneath.Condition

Ceftriaxone Reviews: What are patients saying about Ceftriaxone?
5Patient Review
1/27/2008 This was a lifesaver when my twins both had double ear infections. The amoxicillin didn't work, so our doctor gave them each a shot. They slept great that night and were back to their normal selves the next day. So much easier than having to remember to give them medicine multiple times a day for 10 days!
5Patient Review
11/29/2007 I developed a serious infection after two failed surgeries to correct my pectus excavatum. My surgeon had to place metal plates in my chest and the wound was weeping fluids for weeks. I started weekly injections of cefatriaxone and things went very well. The wound healed in just a few days and I was back to normal within a week.
4Patient Review
5/11/2009 A single 2 gm dose really helped me out and eased my condition within a night.
4Patient Review
9/15/2017 I had recurrant Lyme disease which oral antibiotics like Doxycycline and Tetracycline couldn't help. After a month of getting medicine through an arm cath though, I was feeling much better. I was more tired than before and needed lots of sleep, but it was worth finally getting rid of the Lyme. There are some lasting side effects from chronic Lyme, but this treatment did its job.
2.3Patient Review
2/11/2012 I've had chronic UTIs for years now and haven't found a medication that really works. I've been to many doctors, both in Florida and Michigan, and no one has been able to help me.

"Ceftriaxone is used to treat bacterial infections in many different parts of the body. It is also given before certain types of surgery to prevent infections. Ceftriaxone belongs to the class of medicines known as cephalosporin antibiotics. It works by killing bacteria or preventing their growth."
Answered by AI
What bacteria is killed by ceftriaxone?
"Ceftriaxone not only eliminates some of the primary agents of respiratory tract infections, but also common hospital superbugs. This makes it a powerful tool in the fight against these diseases."
Answered by AI
Is ceftriaxone a strong antibiotic?
"Ceftriaxone (Rocephin) is a strong antibiotic that works against a good number of bacteria, but there are other antibiotics that can treat more types of infections or more serious infections."
Answered by AI
Is ceftriaxone a penicillin drug?
"Ceftriaxone is an antibiotic that can be used to treat various types of bacterial infections. This includes infections in the lower respiratory tract, skin, urinary tract, pelvic region, blood, and joints. Additionally, it can be used to treat bacterial meningitis."
