What Experts Say

Ceftriaxone works by breaking down the bacterial cell wall, which kills the bacteria causing the infection.

One daily dose is usually enough because it stays active in the body for a long time, which makes it convenient for hospital and outpatient use.

People with a penicillin allergy should tell their doctor first, since a small number of patients react to both drug groups.
