Ceftriaxone 1000mg Injection is a broad-spectrum antibiotic belonging to the cephalosporin class. It is used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections, including respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, sexually transmitted infections like gonorrhea, and certain types of meningitis. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls, leading to the death of bacteria and stopping the spread of infection. Ceftriaxone is administered via intravenous (IV) or intramuscular (IM) injection under the supervision of a healthcare professional. It is commonly prescribed for moderate to severe infections and is also used prophylactically before surgical procedures to prevent infections. Side effects may include pain at the injection site, rash, diarrhea, or changes in liver and kidney function. Proper dosage and duration of treatment are determined by a doctor based on the type and severity of the infection.
