CETAFOR CEFTRIAXONE 1000MG IM 1’S

Ceftriaxone, marketed under the brand name Cetafor, is a broad-spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic used primarily for the treatment of various bacterial infections. It is effective against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, making it a versatile choice in clinical settings. Common uses of Ceftriaxone include the treatment of pneumonia, meningitis, urinary tract infections, skin infections, and sepsis. It is often administered via intramuscular (IM) injection, with a typical dosage of 1000 mg. The drug works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to cell lysis and death. Ceftriaxone is particularly useful in hospital settings due to its efficacy against resistant strains of bacteria. It is also used in surgical prophylaxis to prevent infections during procedures. However, it is important to use this antibiotic judiciously to minimize the development of antibiotic resistance.
