Cefboss | Ceftriaxone Injection 1gm

Description

Ceftriaxone is a broad-spectrum antibiotic used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. It helps in the treatment of infections such as pneumonia, meningitis, sepsis, urinary tract infections, and skin and bone infections. It is also used in prophylactic treatment to prevent infections before surgery or medical procedures. It is effective against many types of bacteria, including those that are resistant to other antibiotics. The dosage of ceftriaxone will depend on the type of infection, the severity of the infection, and the patient’s age and weight. It is usually given as an injection, either once or twice a day. The duration of treatment will depend on the type of infection and the patient’s response to the medication. Ceftriaxone should be used with caution in patients with a history of liver or kidney disease. Patients who are allergic to cephalosporin antibiotics should not consume them. Ceftriaxone is generally considered safe and well-tolerated, but like any medication, it can cause side effects. The most common side effects associated with ceftriaxone use include diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. These symptoms are usually mild and will resolve on their own within a few days. Allergic reactions to ceftriaxone are rare but can be serious, and may cause symptoms such as skin rash, hives, itching, or difficulty breathing. Pain or swelling at the injection site is also a common side effect. Ceftriaxone can cause liver problems, including abnormal liver function tests, and it may also lower the red blood cell or platelet count. In rare cases, ceftriaxone can cause seizures, especially in patients with kidney problems or high doses. If any of these side effects occur or persist, patients should inform their healthcare provider immediately. Ceftriaxone can interact with other medications, so patients should inform their healthcare provider of any other medications they are taking. Long-term use of ceftriaxone can cause diarrhea, and in rare cases, it can cause a serious condition called Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea.
