Ceftriaxone: A Powerful Antibiotic for Bacterial Infections

Ceftriaxone Injection is a powerful, broad-spectrum antibiotic used to combat a wide range of bacterial infections. It belongs to the cephalosporin class and works by disrupting bacterial cell wall formation, leading to bacterial death. This makes it effective against severe infections like pneumonia, urinary tract infections, skin infections, and meningitis. Administered through intravenous or intramuscular injection, Ceftriaxone is favored for its long half-life, allowing for once-daily dosing. It’s generally well-tolerated, but possible side effects include gastrointestinal upset, rash, and allergic reactions. Proper use is essential to minimize antibiotic resistance and ensure successful treatment outcomes.
