CETAFOR CEFTRIAXONE 500MG IV 1’S

CETAFOR (Ceftriaxone) 500mg IV 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 suitable for serious infections. Common uses include the treatment of pneumonia, meningitis, urinary tract infections, skin infections, and sepsis.

Ceftriaxone works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to cell lysis and death. It is often administered intravenously in hospital settings, especially for patients who require immediate and potent antibiotic therapy.

Additionally, it is used for surgical prophylaxis to prevent infections during surgical procedures. Due to its long half-life, it can be given once or twice daily, which enhances patient compliance. However, it is important to monitor for potential side effects, including allergic reactions and gastrointestinal disturbances.
