Ceftriaxone Injection IP

Ceftriaxone is prescribed for treating bacterial infections that affect the brain, lungs, middle ear, abdomen, urinary tract, kidneys, bones, joints, skin, soft tissues, blood, heart, chest, Lyme disease (resulting from tick bites), and gonorrhea (a sexually transmitted infection). Bacterial infections arise from the proliferation of harmful bacteria within or on the body.

How Does a Ceftriaxone Injection Work?

Ceftriaxone contains the active substance ‘Ceftriaxone’, which functions by disrupting the construction of bacterial cell walls, ultimately leading to bacterial death. Consequently, Ceftriaxone is effective in the management of bacterial infections.

Side Effects

In certain situations, Ceftriaxone may lead to side effects such as diarrhoea, skin rashes, altered results in blood and liver tests, and irregularities (either an increase or decrease) in white blood cell and platelet counts. While not everyone will experience these side effects, it’s important to consult your doctor if they occur.

Precautions to Be Taken

• Before starting Ceftriaxone, discuss with your doctor if you have recently taken calcium-containing products, experienced diarrhoea following antibiotic use, have bowel inflammation, have kidney stones, or have any other health issues. 
• Avoid taking antacids simultaneously with Ceftriaxone; it’s advisable to keep a gap of 2-3 hours between the two. 
• Speak with your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. 
• Ceftriaxone may induce dizziness, so exercise caution when driving. 
• It’s best to refrain from alcohol consumption to avoid potential unpleasant side effects.
